Modifications For The Adventure Bot Please Help Us Program This ;)
We are completely new to actually building EZ-Robots. My 7 year old son has been fascinated with them for probably about a year on Youtube. To try and encourage his love of ez-robots we bought the adventure bot for his birthday. My sister in law bought some extra parts because lets face it she wanted to win the "Best aunt" award. So she bought him the ultrasonic distance sensor and the LED block. Now we are struggling where to even begin after figuring out how to build the Adventure bot, attach the "extras", charge the batteries....we have no clue where or how to even begin programming this project. So much that the bot has been sitting for about 2 weeks! We want to encourage him but we are going to need the help of anyone who could tell us if this is even possible? We need help because the next project is to try and build him his own Wall-E bot! YES, we are crazy! stress
Thanks everyone! This had been great at least having others encourage us. Now that he has the control with my phone (and loving it) was wondering if anyone knows of a way to make a kindle fire work to control it so he doesn't have to steal my phone! Hahaha
@Future Ez Robot builders Mom Unfortunately you need a pc, android or IOS device only... But if you can get him set up on the computer with ARC, you can have your phone back...
ARC mobile would probably work on a Kindle Fire since it is Android, but it isn't on the Amazon app store, and kindle can't access Google Play store. I am not sure if the Kindle supports side loading apps, in which case DJ could post the apk here, otherwise he needs to post to Amazon app store and test because the Kindle is a customized version of Android.

Tonight we tried getting the voice recognition to work and also programming his LED block. Something isn't working and I have no idea what? We adjusted the microphone, I re-read the directions... I tried everything that it said to do but when it came time to actually use the voice recognition it was as though only my computer was responding. Adventure bot did nothing. Computer responded so does that mean I have to shut down the computer to get the robot to respond. Again, totally clueless.
Check to make sure your computer is connected to the EZB. You have to connect to it every time you power it up.
We have hit a wall...I don't know how to figure this out any further. We have spent a couple nights trying to get the voice recognition to work and realized that it only works when the computer is hooked up. Not from the mobile app. So tried my best to make our own app to see if I could add the voice recognition/microphone controls to my phone so it would work through it. No luck...even took a break to see if I could figure out the distance sensor...no luck...hating seeing the frustration in my kids eyes that I just don't have a clue what I am doing...even after watching numerous videos and reading the tutorials. Something has to give! Sorry just venting my frustrations since I can't to the 7 year old!

avery windows has this key ? click on that and you get all info
Sorry to hear your having trouble. Speech recognition does not actually work with mobile devices via the ARC mobile as it is not supported at the moment, which is why you're having trouble. Here is a list of what the mobile app does support which can be found in the mobile apps user manual...
