Robotic Servo

Just a quick question. Can you connect a robotic servo into the EZB? Something like the HerkuleX HerkuleX
question

Command To Print An Analog Port Value

Need a command to provide the numerical value of an analog port and print it. The need for this is to test a script when decision making to perform a certain task is based on the value of the port at a certain time while an IR sensor is connected to the port.
question

ARC Mapping

How can I use ARC to have my robot make a map of my house and then label different rooms of that map. So if it knew it was in and study and I told it to go to the Den it would go there. Or is this even possible with the ARC software?
question

The Next Big Thing We Need With Ez-Bits.

I know, you are probably thinking "We just gave them a miracle and they still aren't satisfied." But, seriously, just a suggestion: We now have a simple snap together piece added on to each module. Now, we need a simple three pin electrical part that will send the signal up from the gripper and wrist and elbo and shoulder to the EZB. I...

Omnibot 2000 Arm, Wrist, And Claw

I know there are a lot of discussions on the Community about Omnibot Arms. I am just wondering if anyone knows the best servo configuration for the Omnibot's Arm, Wrist, and Claw?

Intel Minnow Mother Board

This board looks like it could revolutionize onboard robotics, it is very powerful and almost as small as the EZ-B, and it is an entire Motherboard! The main thing is it is X86 based so you can run Windows on it. I have posted the link below, let me know what you guys think of this board....

Ez B Help

When I connect the adapter to the EZ B, the blue light blinks but the red light does not blink. I am using this ez robot kit in a class and others teams have automatically gotten the red light to turn on by plugging in the adapter. However, this was not the case for my team. How do I get the red and blue light to both blink

Ez Robots; What Comes 1St, The Kit Or The Board?

Hi EZ Robots staff, I've got 3 EZB V4's on order.

I'm taking off work a few weeks in December and hope to have my 3 boards here and spend my vacation replaceing the 3 old V3's I have in my robot....
