I installed the latest ARC today and fired up InMoov. I ran a script with this in it; ADC_Wait(ADC0,lower,150) and got this error message Error on line 5: ADC_Wait requires at least 4 parameter. You passed 3. I uninstalled the current ARC and re-installed a version from 1/18/2016 and that code ran fine with no error message. What is it looking...

Ez_B Namespace In New C++ Project

I am having some trouble getting visual studio (vs2013) to recognize the EZ_B namespace in a new c++ project. It works fine in the example project from the SDK though. However, because of other components (specifcally YARP) I need to compile using CMake. My CMakeLists.txt looks like this: CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8.9) SET(PROJECTNAME ez)...

Maybe A Dumb Question - Make Bigger Jd

So even though I barely even began, I have plans for this little guy and wondered whether instead of the leg extensions, one could add one more servo to each leg and arm and make JD a bit bigger with more articulation. Is the EVB4 capable of adding four more servos to control walking or is this a thoroughly stupid Idea using too much of the evb...
question

Auto-Download Feature

JD, First, thank you for your previous help with plugins. I have already made a few to help teach some of the introductory CTS courses. Getting to the point, I believe I have discovered an error in the plugin manager service.

February 2016-Best 3D Printers?

Hey guys. As you know, I'm a wiz with cardboard structures, but those aren't really the best. I started to look into 3D printers, but with the huge number out there I wanted to see the opinions of those whom may have already gotten and used their printers for a while. I continue to fall back on the da vinci 1.0 or 1.0 pro but shipping to Canada...
