question
Object Character Recognition
Google and Microsoft both have Object Character Recognition (OCR) models available via API. There is a free tier and a paid tier for either. It would be absolutely amazing to have a camera skill that can read text. This could even trigger the translate option or integrate with Chat GPT3. Lots of follow on options if we unlock OCR.

question
Arduino Mega Firmware
I downloaded the firmware for the Arduino Mega and unzipped it. I double clicked on the EZ- MEGA - V1 but it did not load into my Arduino IDE. It just asked what app I wanted to open it with. The file I downloaded was dated 10/11/2021. If you have any ideas about what I am doing wrong I would appreciate it?

Still want to pass on radio signals to EZ-B to trigger certain animation scripts. How can I read the radio signal I get in the receiver. From a receiver I can steer a servo...

What Happened To Cochrane Robotics?
I was browsing skills and saw EZ-AI, developed by Cochrane Robotics. All links to the related sites are dead, and a Duck-Duck-Go search said the company was deactivated some years back. Any news on what happened to David?

When I connect my Rock PiX to a computer monitor via HDMI, the project loads quickly. The full screen interface appears in about 2 seconds. However, when I connect the Rock PiX to...

I ran across a G Cloud from Logitech which is basically a android 11 tablet with buttons, triggers and joy sticks. Does Synthiam mobile allow you to use built in controller buttons or map them to...
