Store Credit

All of the EZ-Robot purchases made for my were by my GF who set up an account to order my Roli kit last Christmas. So, I've had no transactions with this account. I was on the shop page the other day and notice I have some store credit. I'm just wondering how and how long I have to use it? Thanks

Logitech F710 Questions

I've got my Roli up and have bought an F710 wireless controller with an eye toward using the joysticks for 2-3 different control scenarios. I've connected the controller, set it on D Input and Windows is seeing it fine. I'm using a modified Roli plan and added a joystick as shown in DJ's tutorial video. As I understand it, Joystick one should...

Any News For Indoor Navigation?

I opened a new discussion named "floor maps, what's for ?". I was asking what I might do with that control, but nobody replied . I thought it might help to perform autonomous indoor navigation.

Ez-Robot Has Become A Great Sucess

Hello D.J. EZ-Robot has really grown since I was a member/user back in the beginning. You deserve the success my friend. I've been extremely busy with my Paranormal Investigation Team (Ghost Quest) and it has delayed my return to the fold. I'm ready to incorporate robotics into the team. I saw (somewhere) that you may be buying back some of the...

Can't Multiply Variables

Hi everyone, it's me again. I'm sorry if this question/suggestion has been asked/made before, but I am trying to make a custom AI with EZ-Script, and I would like to know if multiplication with declared number or float variables (i.e. "num1" * "num2") is possible at all. If not, I think it would make ARC so much more flexible!...
