The easiest way to program the most powerful robots.
Use technologies by leading industry experts.
ARC is a free-to-use robot programming software that makes servo automation, computer vision, autonomous navigation, and artificial intelligence easy.
i will using the robi robt.currently am waiting for answers from deagostini too. howmuch volt the servo are.and if the wires are to get in lengt 40 cm. due to that avery servo needs to be connected to the ezb4.
Is there a way to off set (as in extending ) the camera from the board so you cam place it in very tight locations. Could you even unsolder the lense from the board and extend with wires?
there are some little camera to by on ebay.it include reciever to for some 19 euro. the camera needs only power and you see on your tv what the robot see.
Thanks DJ that is quite small, I'll make do. Sorry for the delay I'm in China at the moment. Getting super excited for the new boards and cameras! Keep up the great work.
From what I'm reading the answer is no. Sounds like EZB V4 uses it's own protocol to stream the image back to ARC. However there may be ways to still use your camera with ARC but not directly through the V4 EZB. You still may be able to do it like we did with the V3 board and ARC. That way the image was sent back to your laptop via Bluetooth and ARC gathered the info through Windows as an installed device. I think I remember DJ saying we could still use our old cameras like that if needed but I may be wrong.
@Techno, I would say that any camera that is detected by Windows will work with the V4 since it will use ARC which already supports this. The V4 camera will only work with a V4 EZ-B since it plugs in directly to the EZ-B. This is for the PC version of ARC, the android and iOS versions will probably be different.
@nomad, you can use EZ-Bits to change the alignment of the camera. You will also (probably) be able to remove the camera from it's housing and make modifications to make it fit.
I'm almost positive you can remove the EZ-B v4 camera's casing. I would be careful, though- working with a board that small is probably a fairly delicate procedure.
Pin headers are 0.1" apart, 5 on the bottom half of the one board so I'd guess that side is roughly 1" long, the other side is slightly shorter.
I'd say it's much smaller than the old V3 camera and it's around 1" to 1.5" wide, deep and maybe 2" tall.

The board is quite small. It is approx. 3 cm x 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm

That camera in your robot is neat. Nice that it has a composit output
thank you
excample like in the pic.
i need a flat one.
