Pololu Dual Serial Motor Controller

I managed to snag a now-discontinued Pololu dual serial motor controller from eBay after seeing it recommended on the Add-Ons page. I couldn't find any sample code in the SDK for controlling it with the EZ-B so I used "Tutorial 15 - Serial Output" as the basis for a proof-of-concept controller. Here's what I came up with: If anyone...

Missing Microphone Bug...

Hello, I spent the better part of the day trying to figure out why ARC and the projects in the EZ-B SDK would not recognize any of my video sources. I assumed it was being caused by the EZ-B.dll as other projects I've created are able to see the devices. Since I couldn't debug the EZ-B.dll (sure wish I could!) I Ultimately downloaded the...

Hi DJSures, I have ordered EZB and eagerly waiting for it. I am planning on creating something like your Omnibot. Since you have been using it extensively could you please give me an idea of the range of Bluetooth communication? i.e. how far does the Omnibot goes before losing comm with the laptop. I am assuming Omnibot is an indoor bot where it...

PC?

Hello, I am new to ez-b so I have a question. When I want to start up my robot and run the script's do i require a PC. or can I push the program/code to the EZ board and it can run standalone without a PC? And what happends if the power is cutted? Do it remember the script? And what about faces/colours/conversations? Thanks , Mix3rn
