question

Data Ports

Hello to all, Well, I am out of data ports. Yes, I have used all 20 and need more. Is there a way to run two EZ-B's in conjunction? I don't think so. DJ, would you build me a duo? Is it feasable? I read on the forum where someone added a whole bunch of additional inputs but that is like running two servos off of one port and that will not work. Any...

Controls In A New Form?

Hi DJ! After a couple of hours programming in Visual C# I was wondering if it was possible to send commands (for example set servoposition) from another form than the main form containing the ezb-connect. Hope you understand what I'm trying to do Have the main form display the connect to ezb, and a button to open a new form where there are buttons...

The Stalker Robot

Greetings from Norway! Love your work DJ Sures! I'm planning to build a robot that follows a user, I'm just wondering if there's a way to use the EZ robot controller? I need something that measures distance and direction between the user and the robot, and excludes other users that the robot only follows one user. I'm a student studying Electronics...

question

Servos Vs Motors

I recently gutted my daughters Hot Wheels Barbie chopper. I ended up with two 12 volt motor/gearboxes, wheels and a battery. The gearing is rather tight, as the chopper was designed to haul around a 35-40 lb child. When you speak of servos, is the term "motors" interchangeable with that? Will the EZ Board allow for direct hookup, or will...

Bluetooth Connection Problems

I was testing the EZ-B with my joystick and everything was working brilliantly. I then needed to leave the room and without thinking I removed a battery from the battery pack without disconnecting the EZ-B. When I returned and placed the battery in the battery pack the bluetooth light (which is on top I think) wasn't flashing. I am now unable to...

Re-Using Components

So I have a few servos and things which I have taken from various toys. I had the intention of connecting them to the EZ-B board. However they are not 3 prong connectors. They have 2. I'm not entirely sure what each of the 2 wires does, but they are definitely connected to servos. I think they are grounded already. I attempted to connect them in...
