Switching Voltage For Sharp Sensor

Hi @Athena, I have a question about powering the Sharp IR Distance Measuring Sensor #GP2Y0A02YK0F, which I am using in my rover project. I've been experimenting with this sensor, and it has worked very well for object detection when powered with 5V DC. During my tests, I found that for specific tasks, the sensor needs to detect a reflector instead...

Connecting EZ-Robot To Stepper Motor

Hi, I am a complete novice. I am trying to connect my EZ-Robot to a stepper motor using a DM556 Stepper Motor Controller. I am not sure how to connect this controller to my EZ-Robot. Can someone please help me with this setup?

Fitting Alternative Battery For Robots

I have a question regarding batteries for my JD Humanoid or AdventureBot, which typically uses a LiPo 1300mAh 2S 25C battery with dimensions of 70x35x10 mm. I found an alternative battery online that appears similar: a LiPo 1300mAh 2S 30C with dimensions of 70x34x14 mm. My question is, would this alternative battery fit in EZ-Robot products? Here...

Capturing Spontaneous Voice Input

Hello Athena, I'm seeking guidance on how to develop a script or understand the process within ARC for capturing voice input using an external microphone, as recommended. My goal is for the JD robot's built-in speaker to repeat what it hears or to listen continuously. I'm currently experimenting with the Speech Recognition module, but I'm...

EZ-Robot JD Shoulder Servo Not Rotating

Thanks, I have the Bing Speech Rec skill working. Now, I am noticing that JD's right shoulder isn't rotating anymore, so Stand from Sit doesn't work correctly, any movement that rotates the right shoulder. It can't be a wiring issue as that is internally wired, if I am not mistaken. Can you provide any troubleshooting on that new issue?

Connecting EZ-Robot Iotiny Issues

Hello everyone, I am new to using EZ-Robot, and I'm having trouble connecting my EZ-Robot IoTiny controller to my computer via Wi-Fi. When I attempt to connect, the computer's Wi-Fi connection shuts down, and after a few minutes, the EZ-Robot connection drops, causing the computer to reconnect to its original Wi-Fi network as if the EZ-Robot...

Determining Robot Emotions From Chatgpt

I've programmed my robot to express various emotions, including Angry, Disgust, Fear, Happy, Sad, Sigh, Smirk, Sorry, Surprise, Suspicious, Thinking, Unamused, Winking, and Sleeping. It seems like there's no explicit variable within the...

Robotics Project Help And Suggestions

Hello, I’m new to robotics and have been dreaming of building a robot since I was a kid. However, I didn't expect it to be so complex! I have some basic electronics knowledge and tools, including a multimeter and a basic oscilloscope. My current project involves a tracked robot chassis powered by two 12V Hall effect motors. I also have two R6DOF...

Windows 11 TTS With ARC

Can ARC utilize the Windows 11 Text-To-Speech (TTS) engine in conjunction with ChatGPT, instead of the other TTS skills provided within ARC? This would allow users who are implementing projects on Windows 11 Single Board Computers (SBCs) to take advantage of the onboard TTS capabilities built into the Windows operating system.

Auto-Start Script On Iotiny

, is there a way to have a script on the IoTiny start automatically as soon as it's powered on ? i have a prototype of a small robotic arm, one camera, 2 servos connected to an iotiny, works fine. The idea is, the arm should move as soon as the iotiny is powered on. As far as i understand a project must be loaded and then a script will be...
