Help For New User

Skip to comments   Jump to end

I am purchasing the EV.B v4 controller and plan to use it for robots I make using my servos and mechanical parts (not from EZ). I downloaded the software and I'm trying to learn what it can do for me. I saw the JD example, containing actions and frames someone has prepared .I create a new project, but , despite the many helps and tutorials, I can't find how to create my own actions and frames and make them work. I must learn to do a very simple thing: make some servos move in a specific way , by frames and actions prepared by me. It's probably a trivial question for you expert users ! Thanks for your answer.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

There is a ? (question mark) next to every (x) close button. The control in question is the Auto Position. Add the Auto Position and press the ? question mark to view its help. There are also tutorials on that page which will explain in further detail.

Here is a direct link to the Auto Position control help: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=180

Rather than using google, it will be more productive to use the LEARN section and ? (question marks) on this website and in the software. You will find the ez-robot.com website is tailored to the ez-robot products, such as the ez-b, etc.. When you view a manual page by pressing the ? (question mark) on the control, you can scroll down on that page for additional tutorials and videos. Enjoy!:)

Of course I have read the tutorials about the auto positioner and the helps in the software. But I didn't see anything about creating frames and actions and how to use them in my project . Please help.

Hi DJ Sures, I haven't yet the EZ-Bv4 here , it was ordered but not yet delivered I'm only testing the software. Perhaps the PC needs to communicate with it to work and do what is described in the tutorial ? Without it it doesn't work ?

thanks, but when I add the control "servo" and "auto position" I get the small screen named "autoposition" . I'd expect a larger image with my already designed robot (now my project is only 4 servos standing alone ) and buttons named "frame" "action", " settings" , "90" in the servo boxes", etc. as in the tutorial. But I don't get such screen and nothing else happens or can be done in the AutoPosition small screen. I don't have the EZ-Bv4 here (it's not yet delivered). Is it necessary to connect it to make the software work or can I test the software without it ?

can you post a pic so others can see what you mean. screenchot ARC whit autopositioner showing.

You don't need to connect the EZ-B to start, but without being able to see the servos move, it is difficult to do auto-positions.

You need to have a robot image in your project if you want a picture of the robot in the auto-position window. The window will auto-size to fit the image.

Sorry I can't give step by step directions right not, but I am at work and just taking a short break, but hopefully that will point you in the right direction.

Alan , I do have a simple designed robot image in my project (4 EZ servos standing alone and connected to 4 ports in the EZ). My Auto Position window is empty. What must I do to have that image in my Auto Position window? Leonardo
