For quite a few years, i've been mentioning that I have been working on a positioning system for ez-robots. I guess it's time that i share my tribulation with you, because the trails were far too many
. Should be ready to throw in the manufacturing facility for this summer's scheduled releases

Here's more videos of the IPS in action. I don't have ControlCommand() setup yet, but that's easy to add once I'm happy with smoothing out more of the algorithms.
Very nice!

Dj, Thanks for the two demos. It is GREAT to see it in action. I was able to see the beacon better in these videos.
I can see you still enjoy playing with it... It's development had to be frustrating at times, but it is paying off..
I look forward to the map function with a control command. It will be neat to tell it where to go and it goes there.
Dj,
Will this work with JD?
This will work with any robot that uses a movement panel
I have this on my list! Looks amazing!
@DJ, will the Ips be battery operated or have that option? Would be great for positioning in places were no power outlets are near. Great work by the way!
