I know it its frustrating to run across the 4th version of the roboquad that is not directly supported , but why not ditch the original sensors and brain completely? In the eye sockets place a ultrasonic range finder or a Sharp IR if you want or you could put a maxbotic single sensor range finder in one eye socket and EZ wireless Cam in the other eye socket. The motors could be controlled based on time with a Darlington switching transistor or you could do what I would and swap them for 4 high torque servos from the Ezrobot online store. The shell is awesome , just keep LEDs , record sounds if you want to playback after all your mods are done. There's lots of power in ezb and its control software ARC , you can do it - Josh S

Well, that's what I'm working on but the time commitment and learning curve is not EZ; it's intermediate robotics. I hope not many more people experience this frustration buying the EZ-B and then experience immediate disappointment that the RoboQuad is only partially supported and feel somewhat mislead. As far as I can tell there is no specific way of buying the supported version RoboQuad. If any one knows how, I would like to buy another that I can immediately hookup to the EZ-B....

I admit I was quite frustrated at first but that quickly passed as I popped the EZ brain on a Boe bot frame I had. Provided lots of fun for me and my 8 yr old. Then we pulled out the hot glue and put together a 4 axis robot arm in just a few hours and thanks to the frames sequencing it was easy peasy. I came to the conclusion that building a 18 servo Hexapod was the best use for this controller. It could easily control the roboquad with IR LED if or when someone deciphers the output of the remote. So far so fun I will add another board before long to teach some aspects of micro controllers in my kiddos class.

Hey guys I have been looking online for anything. And found this. movement timing

Hello, I emailed EZ-Robot to find out the status of D.J. and my RoboQuad and the remote leversofpower sent him. I am happy to see he is fine, this is what I got back. "DJ is doing more than OK. We are working on some new really exciting technologies. One of them the features he's working on requires a lot of testing using your RoboQuad. If it's alright DJ would love it if he could hold onto it for another month or two." So maybe soon all of the people following the thread might have an answer as to how to connect their EZ-B to their RoboQuad.

if some one could catch the ir transmissions and post them we might be able to come up with something using the "sendserial" command. but first we need to know how to wire up.

I know them. A friend got them for me. I will see if I can find them.

RoboQuad Header is $6. It uses a 12 bit 1200 baud protocal with no stop bits. It wants about 500 ms before retransmission
