Using A Rc Transmitter With The Ez-B Controller

Hello, I am attempting to build a RC 1/16 scale RC armored vehicle and could use some help. I am currently using the EZ-B controller to control certain functions, i.e. cameras and several servos.

Tankwars Port?

Saw this cool project over at instructables and thought it would be really cool and easy to do with EZ-B.

Voice Recognition

Hello everyone. I was trying to think of a way to have my robot only recognise specific voice commands under certain conditions. For example, the robot will generally be in a 'standby' mode, waiting for only 1 specific voice command like "robot wake up", to take it out of 'standby' and into an 'interaction mode'. So that no other voice...

Noobie Question On Soundbaord

How do I activate a soundboard track from the Speech recognition ? I thought it was as simple as writing in Track_0 under the command to activate the loaded slot on the board but no luck. I'm sure this is easy but can't work it out.

Servo Problems

And that's wrong, right? I'm guessing it's a power related issue, so how do I connect a separate power supply to each servo? Thank you VERY much all help! // Tobias
