Spoiler! Firmware V13

Coming Soon: Firmware v13 (Codename: OMG)

Whoa! What's this? Firmware v13 for the EZ-B Robot Controller is in testing phase!... Isn't that supposed to be an unlucky number? Well, unlucky for ME because I haven't slept in a week:) ... So let's see what is new in the coming-soon Firmware v13...

For those who haven't seen the progress over the past week, I have many new features. Including:

  • 70 servo Positions (double resolution!)
  • 50 servo Speeds
  • I2C Read for interactive console (Great for debugging and learning about your i2c device)
  • support for 5 EZ-B's at once! (That's 100 Servos!)
  • an interactive console to the script engine.
  • more object avoidance.
  • smarter self navigating.
  • Script labelling, goto's and conditions.
  • Faster and more reliable Ping Sensor support (with false positive algorythms)
  • Improved timing on uart output
  • Return() allows returning from a goto label
  • Invert servo direction option in Radar Controls
  • HTTP Web Server now works with Firefox, Safari, Apple iPhone and Android

Have you been wondering what I've been up to? Oh, there's more... cool Stay tuned:D

Release date will be in the AM of October 31st 2011. Of course, soon as I actually wake up:)

Whoa, a 360 degree servo is cool!

You can have multiple desktop screens by extending the size of the desktop. Under utilities there is a Set Desktop Size option. It'll load a little control. Configure the control and enter the size. It'll make your desktop the size you specify.

The 360 degree servo will work with the radar control, it just won't look 360 degrees. Maybe someday i'll make a control for one if i get one to test with.
