DSSERVO 3225 Servo Compatibility Inquiry

Hi @Athena, I am curious about the compatibility of a 25 kg DSSERVO 3225 digital servo, which operates at 4.8 to 6.8 volts DC, with my EZBv4. Additionally, I'm considering placing a 10F capacitor between the positive and negative wires. Would this assist or interfere with the servo's operation when using the EZBv4? Thank you, Jack

ARC Event Notification Capabilities

Does ARC have the capability to notify me when a specific event occurs, such as sending a text message, an email through Gmail, or a Facebook Messenger notification? For instance, I currently have a script in ARC that runs in a loop every 30 seconds to check its connection to the EZ-Robot EZ-B controllers. It would be beneficial if ARC could notify...

Managing Servo Commands Without TCP Server

How can I manage ports that exceed 23 using ARC @Athena? My ESP module currently supports ports higher than 23 with the integration of two PCA9685 PWM controllers, each controlling a set of servos. All connected ports have servos attached. My aim is to creatively utilize existing ARC skills and script commands to facilitate communication with the...

Troubleshooting Rovers IR Sensor Issue

Hi @Athena, I need some assistance troubleshooting an issue I've encountered with my robot. The setup involves a rover powered by four stepper motors, each controlled by a motor driver board connected to an Arduino Mega 2560. The Arduino handles motor control using PWM, while an EZ-B v4 is tasked with executing scripts to synchronize an IR sensor...

UART Communication Between EZ-B And Arduino

Hi @Athena, I am seeking assistance for a project where I need to establish UART communication between an EZ-Robot EZ-B v4 controller and an Arduino Mega 2560. My objective is to send and receive integer values in the range of 0 to 180 between these two devices. On the EZ-B v4 side, I will be utilizing JavaScript within the Synthiam ARC...

Troubleshooting EZ-Robot HDD Servo Issue

@Jeremie, @DJ, I am encountering an issue with an EZ-Robot HDD Servo in my robot and am seeking some advice. Although I realize this is a part manufactured by EZ-Robot, I'm aware that @Jeremie designed these servos and has invested years in improving their quality and performance. I'm hopeful you might have some insights into what is happening with...

Integrating Synthiam Skills For Robots

I have recently purchased some heavy-duty robots capable of handling a payload of approximately 50 pounds. I am interested in connecting these robots to Synthiam ARC software for enhanced control and programming capabilities. Could someone guide me on how to establish this connection? What hardware and interfaces are required to successfully...

Compatibility Of Realsense SR305 Camera

I have a question regarding the Robot Skill for the Intel RealSense D435i. Is the Intel RealSense SR305 camera supported by this skill? I am able to view the SR305 camera using the Intel RealSense Viewer without any issues. However, when I try to access it through the skill, it does not appear in the dropdown menu.
