Thinking About Buying A Jd Help

Is this a student toy or adult project. This sounds interesting but it needs to be expandable. I worked with ER1 and AIBO ER7. Is this something I could get into? Suggestions and price help needed!

Ages of EZ-Robot users range from pre-teen to people in their 80's. something for everyone here except maybe very young children. JD is definitely not just a toy, and requires the ability to follow instructions (the learn tutorials) for assembly and calibration. As others have mentioned, once you start with a base revolution robot, the capabilities are only limited by your imagination.

I don't have a smart phone but can I use my lap top windows XP or an apple Ipad to work with the software? Thanks Ron

You need windows 7 minimum.... iPad should work but without ARC (runs on windows 7 and up) you will be seriously limited in what you can do....

Just download ARC on your laptop and see, I agree with RR that W7 might be a minimum, but give it ago, it's free!

You don't need any H/W to play around with ARC, and it's the best way to learn before you order any H/W.

That tutorial is great for the learning on how it works. Can windows 7 be put on an old windows xp computer? It would be good if it worked on my Ipad but I guess it doesn't. Thanks Ron

Current version of ARC requires a minimum of Windows 7. Will not work on XP.

You can load ARC Mobile on an iPad. It can control most (but not all) functions. However if you want to program your own functionality, you need to do that on a Windows PC, you then save your project to EZ-Cloud and download it on the iPad in ARC Mobile.

I didn't know you could get a laptop that cheap. I think walmart has then for 179. Thanks Ron
