Hello guys,
EZ-B is a very powerful softwares, without it I would had never gotten started with robotics. Now that I have learn the basic of robotics building,, I would like to push the envelopes a little bit further by moving on to the EZ-B SDK, Most likely I will use C++ or Matlab, but most likely C++. I already downloaded and visual Studio and Matlab.
I want to know who is willing to advance with me with the SDK and have some fun. DJ already have a lots on his plate. I think it will be nice if the community start accessing the SDK.
And also myself, along with @rich and @robotmaker have been debating on a way to create a more advance virtual assistant software using free tools to fabricate a more advanced Jarvis that does not look to jeezy.
Feel free to throw out ideas on ways to create Jarvis like system and advancements with the SK
alright here is a little modification, english my 3rd language so pardon my strong accent
At least you have something to record. My main problem with showing off JARVIS and recording the events is I have nothing to point the camera at really. No physical presence. Hence the reason for building a body for him. Although even then I will need to have cameras recording constantly in all rooms for a whole week to pick up everything he does by himself.
One of the features I am very pleased with is this one though...
Eventually JARVIS will answer the phone for me if his robot body doesn't bring the handset to me and I answer quickly enough... Bringing the handset to me will be done through ARC using face detection and face recognition to find me. Unless of course the number is in the blacklist, where Jarvis will answer it and get rid of them for me
Just check out your youtube channel, pretty cool we both have the same idea just different approach.
Yeah, well my Jarvis was started before I knew about EZ-Robots, probably even before EZ-Robots existed. It's a huge task to change it all over, or at least bring in ARC but it'll get there.
Which brings me nicely on to the question from earlier about starting with one room and expanding or starting big. My opinion is to start as big as it will be. Adding on is a tedious task, as is bringing it all into ARC but it'll all get there in the end. I'm hoping to have a lot more time to spend on it soon.
RICH you said you made JARVIS before ezb came out yet the videos you made on youtube are made fairly soon. LIKE IN A MONTH OR 2
GUESS it better to just to test other software and other people ideas,to see if it suits your needs and cost and ease of setting it up.
ALSO you said you are using PHP witch you said its MESSY and hard to use has its mostly a software for server side web deployment is most guys it will be very hard
ON KKEAST idea he uses python that eventghost uses and its very easy to use,even me not much in to programing not finding it too hard to use.
@PJ I believe the perfect AI is called humanity.
I too admire your desire to learn more. I'm not familiar with C++. I've looked at it a few times but it has never been a necessity in anything I've done in the past.
@Rich, But I'm pretty familiar with C# and if there was a "we're only going to ever use one language from here on out" scenario, C# would easily get my vote. It's almost as powerful as the other C languages but has the comfort of object oriented programming. It's syntax is very similar to Java and PHP and most of the other languages I've used.
We're using VB for a project at school and it's horrible syntax practices drive me crazy. I hate the poor programming standards that it encourages people to accept. I'm lucky enough to have experience with other languages but for some of my class this is the first programming they've done. I pity them for when they get into a situation that uses something with a few more "rules". At least VB is case sensitive. I'll give it that.
I'm also a little bias because C# the language I've used the most. I also have my BC Rich Warlock tuned to drop C# for a good metal sound that doesn't require extra heavy gauge strings. I use D'Dario 10's on that guy and it's been rocking solid since 1993. Fun Fact: Heavy metal grandfolk Slayer usually use standard tuning while the "hair metal" band Motley Crue is usually tuned down a half step. It's just funny to me because Slayer is considered a "heavier" band but the Crue uses a "heavier" tuning. But this isn't a musicians forum so I'll stop here. Sorry.
But, I found C# pretty easy to pick up. Excluding SQL, I went from HTML to PHP to C# very easily. @Rich, maybe you'll find a spare moment or two in the next few centuries to dig into C# a little bit more. I think once you've gotten a handle on it you'll like it as much as I do. It is an amazingly powerful language for web development at least. (I've mostly web dev experience, not too much with desk top apps.)
Lastly I have to agree with the others. ARC really has everything I need and then some so although I'd like to mess with the SDK I've yet to come across the need to justify the extra work.
I think that way of lot of programmers here dont want to get into SDK because of the extra work and their project never get done
