question

Ez-B Low-Level Documentation (Rxd/Txd Protocol) Available ?

As far as i understand the EZ-B system correctly, the bluetooth adapter is acting as a bluetooth->RS-232 bridge, right ? I am currently thinking of replacing the bluetooth interface with a different interface and programming my own control software. Therefore i am very interested in getting the low-level RS-232 protocol to get a direct HW access...

Suggestion For Next Ez-B Version (Power)

As a newbie I am digging through the available documentation and I have seen, that you are using linear regulators on your current EZ-B design to step down the battery voltage of ~7.5V to 5V. This is very energy inefficient for higher currents (e.g. 3A), because you are throwing away (7.5-5)*3A = 7.5W... As a result you need large heatsinks for...

Back to my question ... lol No sense in throwing a servo away so I...

Integrate Ez-B Dlls Into C++/Qt Application ?

Hi, I would like to use Qt, which is C++ based, to write an application for controlling our little robot. Does anyone have any experience, how to integrate the EZ-B .NET DLLs into Qt ? Or is there any other way how to do it (except changing the programming language, because we have a lot of tested/verified modules, which we would like to reuse) ?...
