Bad Servo?

So yesterday I got my AdventureBot in the mail and began setting it up with my daughter. Battery got a full charge and everything went together according to instructions. Fired it up and went to use the movement panel and it spun like a top. No big deal I figured, things are plugged in properly so one servo is just going faster and I need to...

Multiple Ultrasonic Sonars

My bottom board came in today replacement for the one I burned out last month trying to hook up second ultrasonic sensor. This time I did it correctly by shutting off the main battery switch first, LOL! So I noticed there is an increment value that can be raised higher for the sonar radar scanner. I noticed putting both sensor increments at 10...

Using Ez-Robot Hdd Servos Instead Of Hs-805Bb On My Inmoov

I'm experimenting with HDD Servos on my InMoov, using them in place of the HS-805BB to stop the buzzing under heavy load. I started with the Elbow servo and it seem to handle the weight etc, and no buzzing when holding up the arm, unlike when using the HS-805BB servos! Seems to work well. See quick video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bySzD2kxSSM...

Sony Move Controller And Ezb

Hi All, I was searching the forums looking to see if anyone has had success getting the EZB and Windows to work with the single handed Sony Move Controller for PS3. I'm currently using a move controller with an Arduino Mega for driving a sabertooth and I would really love to ditch the mega. Anyone have any info, links, or ideas? Thank you, Douglas

Ssc-32U Servo Controller Script

Hey Everyone, I can't seem to figure out why my Servo Controller isn't working. I have put in the start up and opened up the control in ARC and it still doesnt seem to work. I have power to it from a port on EZB (D18 UART 2) and have it connected to a battery source. (I even tried it to UART 0) I have tried Baud Rate 38400 and 115200 and it seems...

Function Request - Modulo Operation

@DJ, For the next release, can you please add: 1) Modulus Function e.g. Mod( Number1, Number2 ) OR 2) Modulus operator e.g. Number1 % Number2 I know you can use plugins to add custom functions, but they don't work on mobile applications. Modulus is so versatile and useful deserves a place in EZ-Script. Simple examples: 1) $counter=0 :loop #do...
