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. I think the bad servo is mechanically bound, as unconnected you cannot move it. Powered up it gets warm, but does not move....

Microsoft Emotion And Face Api Plugin Too?
@DJ Thanks so much for the other MS API plugins... Cognitive vision works pretty good... I was wondering (and not to get greedy or anything) but would it be possible to create an Emotion and Face plugin as well?.... 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...

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...

I Think My Ezb Has Fried
I believe my EZB has fried. Tonight it refused to be accessed over wifi and it won't reset. I've attached a video so you can see what it's doing upon an attempted reset. I went ahead and ordered another one because I don't have time for a resolution for this unit, but if it is able to be resolved I can use it on a future project. Any thoughts?
