Communication Example With Arduino

Before I found the awesome EZ Robot board, I mainly used arduinos for my robots. Now I have this great EZ Robot board and I'd like to put my Arduino's to use as well. Has anyone used I^2C to communicate between the Arduino and EZB? Any examples?

Business Model

Have you ever considered moving toward a loss-leader business model? The theory is, you sell your principle product at a loss and make all your money on peripherals. So for example, if you sold the ez-b for $50 and had a store with 500 items in it (instead of 15) you would foster wide adoption of the platform AND increase profits. Just an idea..

Organizing Components (Completely Newbie Question)

I've got 3 h-bridges and the ez-b wired up and in close proximity to each other. I live in constant fear that I will bump one into the other and short something out. Whats the best way to keep them separated? Is this what a breadboard is for? Is moving a project from a breadboard to a chassis a big deal or can you just pop the breadboard right on...

Omnibot 5402 Ez-B Head Servo?

I have an Omnibot 5402 and with the help from ez-robot.com I am excited about bringing life to my Bot that I have not used since I was 7. To let you know I am 37 now. My question is the servo for the head - I am going to make my omnibot into a moveable bot with the ez-robot kit but I am also going to install a PC inside as well. My idea I want to...

Compass Setup

My requirements are to use the compass to steer my robot left or right say 10deg reading will move a servo to steer likewise 350deg will move servo in opposite direction to steer appreciate any assistance Pat

Add -> Hbridge . Suggest Reorg

This section should be changed to "add -> simple locomotion" with options for h-bridges. I qualify with "simple" because it assumes differential steering. Add -> hbridge should be changed to popup a dialog that lets you: 1) select 1 or more h-bridges (of whatever type) creating an on-screen visual of your selection 2) use...

Suggestion - Add Custom Events System

In addition to allowing a joystick button run a script, why not let it trigger a custom event of any name. If the joystick moves left, the user could say this action triggers "port-side" or whatever they want to call that. You could then setup on or more listeners (on say an h-bridge movement control AND servo moving robot head) to listen...

Recognition While Speaking

Is there any way to know if the ezB Controller is speaking so I can stop recognition while it is speaking? Thanks
