Pixy Vision Sensor

Hi, I have found this on Kickstarter : Pixy "Pixy is a fast vision sensor you can quickly "teach" to find objects, and it reports its findings through several simple interfaces." It seems that it could be a interresting addition to EZB for object recognition. What do you think? An interresting aspect of the project is the...

Accessing Engenius Eap350 With More Then One Ezb

The thinking was to give my EZB an access point with a stronger signal to access then my network's wireless router. It worked like a charm. Here's my question; I now have 3 EZB's in my robot and have noticed that only one is using the EnGenius EAP350 as an...

Commotion Motor Driver / Mecanum Wheels

I've been having a look at the ComMotion motor driver as an option to drive two motors much like a Sabertooth. With the onboard encoder counting, it should be possible to create something via serial or i2c that acts like a Kangaroo. My thought is that I could later get two more motors and some omni/mecanum wheels in the future for another platform...
