[X] Close Control

Wow. I WISH that the [ x ] Close Control control on the ARC control windows said "ARE YOUR SURE ? (This will remove your control and all your programming of it for keeps!)" The only solution is to Exit ARC, choose NOT to Save (losing other valuable changes you may have made) and then restart, where upon your control reappears. I stupidly...

Random Answers To Questions Or Statements

Here's how I get random answers to questions and/or statements in ARC. It's a simple way that can be expanded on as needed. For example if I say - Goodbye The program responds with a statement from this code; $response = getrandomunique(0,3) if($response =0) Sayezb("have a good day") elseif($response =1) Sayezb("later man")...

Can We Build It Now

I was considering today what capabilities a intelligent home butler robot should have, to be worth the expense of purchasing one. Also, decide if the technology today is capable of building it at a reasonable price. What price would be acceptable if the robot provided all these functions. To accomplish this, I first listed minimum capabilities...

Suggestion For Improvement In The Speech Synthesis Windows

It is a lot of fun to work with EZRI. I like my project. Unfortunately I find the software with the language output a little difficult. I try to make a few intercative videos and I use the language output. When I go to the language output window, you can not mark the text. I must first mark it with ctr + a which is a little annoying. It would be...

When we try to connect it to ARC, it says it is connecting. Then after a few seconds, it says it disconnected but there was never any image or video feed...

Can You Help Get My My Robot To Hear?

Can you help me get my robot to hear? I need some help. I have done (read before posting) and am still having problems with my ezb speech recognition plugin on my Robot.

Ssc32 In Mobile Interface

Hi, I have been using an ezb-v4 with a ssc32 to control servos without issue for a while now. However, trying to use the Mobile interface (v2017.02.16.00) the ezb/ssc32 link (uart @115200) is freezing (red light on both ezb and ssc32) as soon as I try to send a command via the uart. (It will still control the servos plugged directly into the ezb) I...
