Powering H-Bridge And 12V Dc Motors And Feedback Pots

My next project is a BB-9. If anyone knows of it, I'm using the Joe Drive and 12v DC Planetary Motors with BTS7960 43A High Power Motor Driver H-Bridges. I'm using a 12V 20000mah battery for power. If I power the EZ-b with 12v, can I run the power from the digital port straight to the H-bridge, or should I power it from the power source? Thanks

4 Wd Roli

Hi Everyone I was wondering if anyone knew where to buy two extra motors and gearboxes for the Roli Rover as they are not sold in store (except as part of the roli body kit which is therefore expensive)? With extra motors and the gears it would be easy to turn Roli into a 4 WD vehicle that can carry extra weight. I checked this link but it does not...

Johnny Five Community Project

Hello, I brought this up under Jeremie's thread originally; I think it would be neat to do a community J5 project. I'm interested in building a smaller scale (1-2ft tall) J5 themed robot with as much function and appearance as possible. I'm not focused on a 100% screen accurate version as a must have goal. In other words, I have the mind set that...

Re-Use Of Code

One of the things I love about the Arduino is that it’s easy to find a code snippet from someone’s project that you can reuse by cutting and pasting. What is the best way to do this in the ARC environment? Can one copy controls from one project to the next or just the scripts them self’s? It would be awesome for instance to take a fully configured...

New Vs Old Cam And Can I Remove The Ir Filter?

Hey guys anyone have all the improvements for the new cam? also can I remove the IR filter like I did with the very first wireless EZ cam? I am trying to see if it would be beneficial to just have all ez robot equipment in my robot instead of raspberry pi recording as the pi is only recording 7-10 frames at 800x600 at best. So maybe the newer 20fps...

Connection Questions & Stuff

Hi I've been having a problem with my EZ Robot for awhile now. It won't connect to my computer. I'm using the Revolution Six Robot under a modified format (I added some extra servos and wired them correctly.) We've charged the battery many times and can authenticate that we have fully charged the battery (many times in fact.) It makes the generic...

Auto Boot And Connect To Ezb

I have a fortune teller I built a couple of years ago, powered by an EZB. The computer which operates it is mounted in the cabinet. This allow security as it sits in a barn open to the public. To turn the fortune teller on, we have to open the cabinet, start the computer, go to ARC, make the connection, etc. then lock it up again. Few know how to...
