Scripting Multiple Robot Actions One After Another

I'm currently using Script Manager to run multiple scripts in sequence. I know that ControlCommand is non-blocking by default but is there a way to wait for a script to finish before executing the next? The idea is to basically wait for each robot to finish asking/answering/doing something before moving on. I've mostly been using...

Maxsonar

Hi All. I'm thinking of using a Maxsonar sensor for collision avoidance. I don't want to mount it on a servo for aesthetic reasons (will it make a big difference if I do this?). Will one sensor be good enough? Is it even possible for the software to manage 2 or more sensors? Also, there appear to be many different models / types of Maxsonar...

EZ-B V4/2 Too Slow In Wifi Client Mode

Hello, I've successfully connected to my EZ-B in Ad Hoc WiFi mode and configured it to connect to my home WiFi network.  It boots up and tells me it's connected and has a green flashing light.  In the ARC app, I can scan and see it's address (192.168.1.63 in my case).  When I try to connect to it, in ARC, the connection fails due to the operation...

Raspberry Pi Or Arduino

I am building a humanoid robot and was wondering which is better to use?  I am starting on the head from a book that I received on the Mark 1 robot project.  I am then going to research and build humanoid or at least close to humanoid legs.  Do anyone have any projects I can research and learn about biped robots.  The Mark 1 can not walk yet from...

Interacting With The JD Robot Via Flashcards And/Or Objects

Would anyone have suggestions on how best way to go about interacting with the JD robot via flashcards and/or objects? The aim would be for the user to give some sort of meaningful visual response that JD can interpret and process. QR codes are nice but they can be quite large particularly if the robot is further away. The only way I can think of...
