Servo Programming
Greetings! I'm totally new at this so please bear with me. I'm hoping to use one servo to operate an animatronic puppet mouth (the jaw is basically going to be an upside-down mousetrap on a pole, with a stiff wire connected to the servo). Here is how I've tried to program the EZ-B so far (although I'm sure I must be overlooking some things):...

Pololu Dual Serial Motor Controller
I managed to snag a now-discontinued Pololu dual serial motor controller from eBay after seeing it recommended on the Add-Ons page. I couldn't find any sample code in the SDK for controlling it with the EZ-B so I used "Tutorial 15 - Serial Output" as the basis for a proof-of-concept controller. Here's what I came up with: If anyone...

Missing Microphone Bug...
Hello, I spent the better part of the day trying to figure out why ARC and the projects in the EZ-B SDK would not recognize any of my video sources. I assumed it was being caused by the EZ-B.dll as other projects I've created are able to see the devices. Since I couldn't debug the EZ-B.dll (sure wish I could!) I Ultimately downloaded the...

Bluetooth Range
Hi DJSures, I have ordered EZB and eagerly waiting for it. I am planning on creating something like your Omnibot. Since you have been using it extensively could you please give me an idea of the range of Bluetooth communication? i.e. how far does the Omnibot goes before losing comm with the laptop. I am assuming Omnibot is an indoor bot where it...
