Hi guys

Iv been watching your exchange with interest . Last year i tryed to get the leaf program installed on my pc ,It was very difficult to get working. I soon gave up trying . 2 weeks ago i got my ez_b and i was up and running in no time at all. Both are fantastic projects but from a newcomer to robotics point of veiw, its got to be EZ_B ,and all its future upgrades .

New to robotics.

Come on Synthia ! I can wait though! I have the patients of a 7 year old! LOL ! is it done yet?

How about now ?

i would love to know what SYNTHIA can do ,not when it comes out is important to me

Right-on Sreve-C !

ITs like XMASS again hehe

stevec leaf is very easy to install,you need to join the yahoo club for any problems,mostly depend if using WINDOWS 7 OR WINDOWS XP PRO installing in WINDOWS XP PRO very easy,even when i started using more then 4 years ago it install almost easy,dirrections on on the website,and help is on the yahoo club and WIKI and then when i didnt know anything about programming too

now on WINDOWS 7 it is a little harder to install,need to put files in the right folder and change one of the file names to match windows xp pro install

let me know what the problem is and i can slove it pretty easy

HI Robotmaker

Thanks for the offer of help . I cant remeber what the problem was now . But i followed the install advice on the main leaf site and it did not work??.

As i said soon gave up on it , im sure lots of people have it running no problem . I dont have much time to spend on my hobbies because of other pressing things, (work , life , and all that other stuff) . So its ez_b for me.

Again thanks for the offer of help .

Regards.

STEVENC are you using WINDOWS 7 or WINDOWS XP PRO that makes a major difference on setting it up,plus added new OPENCV2.0 ,file name needs to be changed file locations in WINDOWS7 is different then WINDOWS XP PRO,plus apdate SAPI FILE FOR VOICE IS DIFFERENT TOO everyone goes to the main website witch is good,but there are update file that are needed for newer software that is in the LEAF YAHOO club,plus help on installing on WINDOWS 7 what i found out testing windows 7 with windows xp pro,that battery goes dead faster one main reason 64 bits instead of 32 bits,plus adeed memory and processor and board adds more if you look at the major commerical robots made all use windows xp pro or linux,like the big one hanson robot at $46000 ,corebot,all nasa robots use windows xp pro and many more

Kumotek VisiON 4G Advanced Humanoid Robot use windows xp pro $46,000 japan honda robot near $100,000 2 windows xp pro just to name a few
