Hi,
Today i received my jd robot. It looks brilliant. unfortunately I can't find an instruction manual. Is it supposed to be in the box or is the manual available online? thanx for the help
Hello @Maarten
There isn't a manual that comes in the box but if you load up the JD Example Project in ARC there are assembly instructions that help you put him together.
If you would like more details on the EZ-Bv4 itself please check out the Datasheet
At the moment we are working on introductory videos for all of our robots to help with getting started with our kits, stay tuned!
thanx, will have to find a windows machine before putting it together then. So much for building the first project tonight.
Were you not aware that you needed a Windows 7 or 8 pc when you bought your JD? Even if you managed to put it together you wouldn't be able to do anything anyway without a Windows PC....
Never even crossed my mind (been a long time since I had a windows only issue), but I'll ask my IT guy to install windows on my mac. JD'll have to wait another night.
Just checked the order process, no mention of windows only. Might be smart to mention it somewhere before the checkout.
All robots are controlled via ARC (as mentioned on the store pages for each robot)
ARC has the following Minimum Operating System Requirements (as mentioned on the download page).
I absolutely mean no offence by this, but how did you think you were going to program/control JD then? You need ARC to run JD.... In ARC you write/create software to control Revolution robots and ezb4 controllers... You also use ARC to create apps for your Android device that then can be used to control JD or any of the other Revolution robots...
Using a PC is half the equation of the EZ Robot concept... The need for ARC is mentioned and expressed all over the website....
Yeah Rich, I noticed and I'll have windows installed on my mac. So no problem there.
But... if you order and do not check the requirements (which I hardly ever do these days), it doesn't say anywhere that it's windows only. Just saying it might be smart to add this somewhere in the order process. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in EZ-Robots that's Apple only and doesn't read the 'small print'.
