Avg Virus Causing Start Up Questions

The title should say start up problems,not questions but.....I was having problems since the second last update connecting EZB to ARC windows.So it seems the only easy way is to turn off the AVG protection,then no problems with EZB connecting in the ARC software. So I just updated now to the newest updates and still same problem,AVG will do a scan...

How Do I Set Servo Limits

Hi, How can I set the limits for a set of servos prior to the rest of the system initializing? While using the autoposition window it initializes with the servos set to 90 deg. That breaks some servos for me. So I created a frame called 'rest' which I try to set first. Even then, I can move the servos beyond their limits in the autoposition window...

Bad Servo

Received my JD Humanoid Kit today and assembled it it. To my dismay I found a bad upper leg servo. Know it is bad , as I checked the wiring and then replaced the servo with one from my new Six Hexapod kit. It now works fine.

There is no normal start up...

These api's are fantastic and add so much extra vision functionality to ARC... But If not, again thanks for what you have done so...

Power - Not Working - 3D Printed Six Robot

Hello All, I am building my own Six robot with 3D printed parts and MG996R servos. I have sadly run into some issues. First off is a power issue from what I believe. I am using a 6xAA battery pack to run my robot. The total amount of power it is delivering is 7.4 - 7.8 volts and 15 - 16 amps. Am I giving too many amps? When all 12 servos are...

Do Api Keys Carry With A Publicly Shared Project?

Does anyone know if API keys (such as those for the Bing Speech Recognition and API.AI plugins) carry over to the project if saved publicly on the EZ-Cloud? I want to publish an example of using the API.AI plugin which uses the Bing Speech Plugin but I don't know if my keys will be stored on the cloud for people to see and use instead of getting...
