Hi Everyone,  We have been using the mobile app (iOS) with our EZ-Robots and have found that the Blockly text to speech blocks wont run through the robot.  The Say (PC) block will successfully convert the text to speech and play that through the iOS devices speakers, but the Say (EZ) block does not.  Is there a way around this?  I appreciate your...

Then, with a SSC32 controller, and the same servo now connected to V0, the servo moves at one speed only, The servospeed command has no effect either way. So Im...

Controlling Servo Speed And Fluidity With Joystick Control

I recently posted a question about getting my PS3 to work with ARC. I now have a driver that allows it to be recognized and connect. The issue I am having is with the speed of the servos and the robot jitters. It just isnt a smooth movement. I am using a dynamixal robot arm (AX12) and an OpenCM controller. Is there a way to control the speed or...
