Mobile App - Blockly Sound Bug

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

Material In Finnish?

Battery / Charging Tactics In Classes And Clubs

Hello all.  I am reaching out for tips and solutions regarding battery life of EZ robots in classroom situations.  When it comes to double class periods or club events, most robots have issues with battery endurance.  As robots like JD and Roli have their lipos' locked up inside their chassis, a quick battery swap is not possible.  What does a...

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...

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 isn't a smooth movement. I am using a dynamixal robot arm (AX12) and an OpenCM controller. Is there a way to control the speed or...

ARC On Startup, Workspace Not Setting Up Right

More of an observation than a question maybe? but  can we get rid of the "Tip&Tricks" window that pops up everytime I open up ARC? I cant seem to turn it off even when Ive selected that little box on the bottom.  when I open the same project over and over, it still pops up. Also, when I open up the same project Ive been working on, it...
