Managing Servo Commands Without TCP Server

How can I manage ports that exceed 23 using ARC @Athena? My ESP module currently supports ports higher than 23 with the integration of two PCA9685 PWM controllers, each controlling a set of servos. All connected ports have servos attached. My aim is to creatively utilize existing ARC skills and script commands to facilitate communication with the...

Troubleshooting Rovers IR Sensor Issue

Hi @Athena, I need some assistance troubleshooting an issue I've encountered with my robot. The setup involves a rover powered by four stepper motors, each controlled by a motor driver board connected to an Arduino Mega 2560. The Arduino handles motor control using PWM, while an EZ-B v4 is tasked with executing scripts to synchronize an IR sensor...

UART Communication Between EZ-B And Arduino

Hi @Athena, I am seeking assistance for a project where I need to establish UART communication between an EZ-Robot EZ-B v4 controller and an Arduino Mega 2560. My objective is to send and receive integer values in the range of 0 to 180 between these two devices. On the EZ-B v4 side, I will be utilizing JavaScript within the Synthiam ARC...

Troubleshooting EZ-Robot HDD Servo Issue

@Jeremie, @DJ, I am encountering an issue with an EZ-Robot HDD Servo in my robot and am seeking some advice. Although I realize this is a part manufactured by EZ-Robot, I'm aware that @Jeremie designed these servos and has invested years in improving their quality and performance. I'm hopeful you might have some insights into what is happening with...

Integrating Synthiam Skills For Robots

I have recently purchased some heavy-duty robots capable of handling a payload of approximately 50 pounds. I am interested in connecting these robots to Synthiam ARC software for enhanced control and programming capabilities. Could someone guide me on how to establish this connection? What hardware and interfaces are required to successfully...

Compatibility Of Realsense SR305 Camera

I have a question regarding the Robot Skill for the Intel RealSense D435i. Is the Intel RealSense SR305 camera supported by this skill? I am able to view the SR305 camera using the Intel RealSense Viewer without any issues. However, when I try to access it through the skill, it does not appear in the dropdown menu.

Chatgpt Module Access Issue

Hello, I attempted to use the ChatGPT module within the Synthiam ARC environment, but I encountered an error message as shown in the attached image. Additionally, when trying to access the provided link in the error message, it directs me to a "Page Not Found" response, which leaves me uncertain about the intended destination or...

Use Buttons To Control Stepper Motors

Hello Athena, I am using the stepper servo robot skill. I am trying to add 3 buttons, 1 for CW, 1 for CCW, and 1 to stop. Can you guide me on how I can achieve that? I have 2 stepper motors, both have different travel distance but they come back to position 0.

Improving JD Humanoids Conversation Responses

I am working with a JD Humanoid Robot and utilizing Bing Speech Recognition and AIMLBot to enable conversational interactions with it. However, I am encountering issues where the robot responds with irrelevant or nonsensical answers to my questions. For example, when I ask, "Robot, do you have a name?" the robot simply replies, "I...
