Who'S Feeling Adventurous?

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


ARC Pro

Upgrade to ARC Pro

Experience early access to the latest features and updates. You'll have everything that is needed to unleash your robot's potential.

Leap motion pre-order, have some very exciting plan for it also. I think the SDK will be open source, sort of like a kinect for Pc

Also MYO is a lot better and faster,one main reason it detects nerve signals before hand movements Where LEAP MOTION detects only hand movements.

I a lot of how medical measuring devices work from college ,like EEG ,EKG and EMG ,Plus ULTRASOUND that use ultra high frequency sonar

@Robotmaker, some videos are recent some are 6 months old, others 9 months old. It's been a long project constantly being updated and upgraded. It started on a single Windows PC around 2 to 2.5 years ago, it has since grown and spans over 3 PC currently. A lot of what it does and can do is not yet documented. New functions are being added all the time. It's mainly the new functions which I have started to document and post on YouTube (starting with lighting control 9 months ago), before I never had any intention of sharing any details about it so there is a lack of information from the first year or two.

Prior to the youtube videos it was mainly a voice operated, dynamic reminder system with automated PVR functions and voice controlled media navigation with the ability to play on demand from a payload of artist names, song titles, album names, genres, playlists, tv show titles, tv show seasons and movies. I cannot go into the PVR side of things on any video or documentation for legal reasons.

Advice removed to save any kind of blame game/argument despite it's good nature.

I have moved away from the PHP method in ARC as I have mentioned many times. I am using telnet to communicate with ARC now and slowly moving everything across, although there is an issue with variables currently but that's bound to be user error on my part. PHP is still there as it is used for the web based control (the reason it was first implemented) but all integration between ARC and EventGhost is done via telnet and the server option, much like kkeast's method (almost exactly like kkeast's method).

Once it's all satisfactory I will be able to provide a clear and accurate, fully explained tutorial on it. At this stage I am unable to due to the error mentioned above. If only for controlling, say to trigger a script when the TV turns on I could provide a short example however that's not really going to be of much use to many, I prefer to spend time writing these things when they can be easily adapted for any and all applications.

Hopefully that has cleared some stuff up for you.

@antron007 I am pretty confident that with a few hours of "playing around" I would be able to use C# without many problems. I pick things up quickly (I picked up almost everything EZ-B related in a couple of months, I've only been on here for 8 months). I just need something worthwhile to do in C# and that'll be it.

If it's as simple as HTML and PHP then making the move will be much easier too since I am fluent in HTML and "getting there" with PHP. I will have to set some time aside to play with it at some point but that's easier said than done.

FIRST is WHA concern of you ,second i didnt mention the name you did to try to get me in to trouble like in most of the post you did, I posted a link to AI ,please stop it RICH all i ask of you.

AND i see on your videos only a few like them on jarvis ,but on others over 30,000 views and you said you made your design over 2 to 2 1/2 years ago

@rich is it possible to program EZ-B to do an Internet search, like robot search Google for EZ-B, and have it pop up on the screen? Or would that external type of thing.

I guess in the large scope of this project is to automate my little shop. Like "robot turn on grinder, or lights, or soldering iron." while i am working on something i can ask it to look up something on the net, besides rss feeds. Plus security type of thing, also with an animated character to go along with it.

I don't know if this makes any sense what i am trying to explain.
