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

Marking requirements are as such..

  1. Place EZ-Bit IR Beacon on robot

  2. Aim IPS at room on a tripod or mount in the corner by ceiling

  3. Load ARC and IPS control

  4. Everything else is magic...

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.

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.

This will work with any robot that uses a movement panel

@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!
