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...

Use An Ipod Touch

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) ?...

Ping Sensor Pegged At 255

OK, sorry to be such a numb nut here, but things haven't gone quite a smoothly as I had expected. No matter, I'm patient. So board, works, servos now work, however... I wired up the ping sensor, double and triple checked my wiring, however, under ping or radar, I get a pegged signal @ 255. Any ideas?

How Do I Make A Servo Move Up And Down In A Continous Motion??

I want to make Wall-E head move up and down but in a continuous motion using script, is this possible? that is the servo is not jumping from specified servo position to another and skipping all the in between positions, sort of like how you would slide the servo control slider up and down. Is this even possible using script? I want to create some...
