question

More Servos

I understand the EZ-B allows you to connect up to 24 standard RC servos directly onto the PCB. Is there a way to expand the number of connected standard RC servos to 32 or more?
question

Indoor Navigation ?

Many members are waiting for indoor navigation. Some discussions have been posted about other software which is able to do this, but is a heavy duty learning curve, even though it can interface with the EZB. Dj had been developing a concept to take on this difficult task. Time has gone by and no true navigation system has developed. I am looking...

Ability To Print A Script

Hey DJ, How hard would it be to add in the ability to print out script files created from each program? I am trying to take bits from different script programs to combine into another program ( or being able to cut, copy, and paste from one script file to another would be great).

Parrot Sumo Jumping Integration

There is already an AR Drone component - meant for the flying Parrot drone - but I suspect that the same protocols will with the Sumo drone as well. One small problem: the component appears to be hard coded to look for the drone...
question

Hovis Eco Control

I am thinking of trying to hack a Hovis Eco and control it with an EZB4. The guestion I have is would it be possible to unplug the Eco's IR receiver from it's CPUs port and plug in a cable from the EZB4 to take over the IR commands to the Eco. This would let the Eco controller handle servo control, LED control, sensors and movement control. The...
