Oh, might also be worth mentioning that it wouldn't be too difficult to whip up a wheel encoder replacement with a gyro. I should consider that as an option...

Hey everyone I'm glad to see bringing up this old thread has sparked some interest. I love the idea of new technologies being implemented to come up with a solution to this problem ( lidar, wheel encoders), but on a selfish side I'm not sure how I would implement lidar for example into my machine. The other issue that I had to overcome in the past is that the construction of my robot is all aluminum. It forced a redesign when I received my ezb4 as the wireless could not penetrate reliably. Sure I could create a plastic " tower" of sorts to mount a gyro, or 4 in one sensor.(thanks by the way Alan ). I'm still open to all ideas!

@kam the soon to be released /2 has a USB option. It will help you.

Yes I'm waiting for that board release, however it will again force re-design on my part. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought you mentioned that with that board you lose the option of using ez camera when using USB port. I will have to modify eye sockets to accept another type of hopefully small wifi camera that ARC plays nicely with. That's all good though I don't mind modifying when it's an upgrade. Have you given any more thought to the above task ?

One other thing in a previous conversation with me you were thinking about adding" servo trim" for my dynamixel mx64 t servos cause they don't have full range like the ax12a. Thanks for all help everyone!

You lose camera but you can also connect the camera to the computer via USB. As the camera supports USB as well.

So no redesign is necessary for you.

@DJ,

only to be clear the camera is another usb camera, or is possible to buy an usb adapter to the EZ-B camera ?

USB adapter for existing cameras
