I finally purchased an EZ-B, I didn't go with the kit (on a budget) just the board. My Idea is to make an autonomous vacuum, built out of junk I have laying around.
parts list:
#1) EZ-B #2) 4 dc motors (probably only 2 needed) #3) 2 h bridges ( probably only 1 needed) #4) distance sensors #5) 4 servos #6) small camera I had lying around #7) Old Handheld Vacuum
Needed Parts: #1) Battery pack (specs unknown at this point) #2) some sort of homemade seal for the vacuum nozzle ? #3) some sort of wheels #4) a platform or container or some sort
two choices of vacuums this one has its own battery and charger. though its a pretty weak vacuum.
here is the h bridge, I believe it will work with the EZ-B, it's kind of an overkill
here are the servos ( for camera and distance sensor movement)
here are the motors.... I made a mistake and purchased the h bridge from china....now I have to wait forever lol.
and that's all I have at the moment... any and all feedback or constructive criticism is welcome. I don't offend easily so don't be shy....lol

Received the ezb in the mail and the motors, now I'm still waiting on the h bridge , servos and sensors..i can't wait to get everything together!...
I have most of the parts now, (still waiting on the servos) so I wired the h bridge and the two moters up. made wheels out of junk I had lying around. this is a test fit, I did run into an issues with the PWM it only slows and speeds one motor. I might not have it wired correctly, I did not cut any pins on the ena & enb could this cause errors? does it matter which pin I cut? confused it's way to fast! like an rc car...lol
Be careful of the bare wires touching the bottom of the EZB and other electronics. You would not want a dead short before you even get started.
Yeah,there is nothing close to any electronics.it looks messy now i know...lol. That wire behind the ezb is to the vacuum motor..i have issolated it before i powered anything on...haha
i'm going a different route, picked up a cheap rc car from kmart $24.99 ,cut out the board and put in the ez-b.
had to make a custom movement script to make it move correctly.
here is the front wheel gears, i'm probably going to cut the black bar so I can get better movement. right now it doesn't move left or right that good.so I cant make tight corners when avoiding obsticles it just seams to backup and try to go right,back up and try to go right,....etc....
