Hello everyone, long time member/fan of the EZ-Robot, just been admiring in the shadow. During the thanksgiving break had a few hours downtime so finally decided to complete ( will never be complete) my long time project of converting an R/C truck to an EZ-robot truck. Now that the IoTiny have been release to the general public, figure it will be a great platform for it. I am using a regular EZ-B v4/1 for now until the loTiny are back in stock.

I Removed and replaced the rear motor with a bigger motor /tire combo, kept original steering wheel motor ( not a servo).

script for steering control is nothing fancy ex:
[#ForwardRight

Enter the ON/OFF for the second HBridge to move

the direction for this script.

PWM(d0, 35) PWM(d1, 100) Set(d2, off) Set(d3, on) Set(d4, off) Set(d5, on) Sleep( 1500) Release (d5) ]

Cool to see it finally finished! I have the same battery, but have noticed a poor life on it. Have you seen similar?

#2  

Terrible performance, usually last about 6 minutes.

#4  

Good to know! I guess I wont be buying from there anymore! I think its the charger that comes with it that screws the battery up.
