@alondav77 Hello, you sure can! I have one sitting in the lab waiting to fit the EZ-B. You can put the EZ-B in anything you can dream up:) That's the best part!

I'm glad you like Wall-e, he's one of my favorites:)

You'll be able to make the R2D2 a lot cooler with the EZ-Robot Kit. He'll be able to do waaaaaay more stuff with it. And don't worry about programming.... To start, you won't need to do any programming.

DJ,

Have ordered the kit. Wondering if a "version" is being planned for iOS or other operating systems? It would be nice (for a change) if an operating system change would not create a hardware redesign. Perhaps an 'interface" from the Bluetooth to the PC, then an interface to the iOS as a separate controller? Most interfaces I have seen lately are WiFi, which would be the easiest to interface to iOS.

Thoughts?

Hi:)

You can use the HTTP Server to connect your iOS device through the PC to the EZ-B. There is over 100,000 lines of code for the EZ-Robot Platform - it would take a very long time to port over. There are also limitations with the user interface, screen real estate and processor speed with portable devices. You'll find the Forum Search feature will help you find most of these answers:) as it is discussed often

DJ I got a problem with my EZ-B. I already did firmware and used it and it worked. Then today I tried to the EZ-B but all it had was a blank and no ports so how do I fix this? Thanks Sonic40191

@sonic40191, please make a new thread for your problem, it will draw more attention. When you make the new thread please make your problem clearer. What had no ports and was blank? Is the EZ-B paired with the PC? What version of ARC are you using? What are you trying to do?

The EZ-B connectivity issues

Yes the EZ-B is paired with the PC. But that one day I went into ARC The board connection thing for board one I made that arrow go down and all there was was a blank spot not COM ports no nothing. I really need help thanks sonic40191

What OS are you using? What version of ARC are you using?

If no COM ports were in the list you have an issue with Windows. If the EZ-B is paired it will have 2 COM ports in Windows, if you don't have the COM ports check the settings of the EZ-Robot device in Devices and Printers, make sure the services are enabled. Check your device manager to ensure there are no problems. Make sure bluetooth is turned on.

It's very rare to have no COM ports on a PC.
