Change Release Notes
We hacked away at the EZ-B Firmware over the past 48 hours to resolve the servo jitter issue. This has been a crazy past few days. The release 15.3 seemed to cause issues with some controllers, and that's because there are a few differences between EZ-B versions. They were tested in-house, but clearly not good enough. We setup a new testing environment with a pile of servos and sensors to verify older boards.
The only downfall to the latest firmware is the servo position resolution is now 100 vs 130. Not a dramatic difference, but the lower resolution is required for the servo speed.

lol, good times....
thanks.
Camera tracking enhancement for slower cpu's? That would be perfect for my omnibot
Woohoo Glad to hear you got it figured it out DJ!
Hi I upgraded and then added 1 vertical servo it has good precision now however press release on the servo control and the servo moves to some random position??
However much more noticeable is the when selecting a low value servo position under 3 or 4 my servo buzzes very noticeably I tried 2 types of servo and one is much worse than the other sounds like a cricket!
When you press release it seems to settle in between a step and buzzes if thats a help
That's because your servo doesn't have that mich range. Every servo is different. Use the confit button on any servo control to specify the min and max values so you don't damage your servo.
Ok understood will try it good to know
This hasn't solved the press release random position feature 'sorry to rain on your parade' I'm now wiring up another EZ-B to check it on that one
Yep its the same
Awesome camera colour tracking now...
Awesome! I'm downloading it right now! Thanks for your hard work DJ, may you have long hours of good rest lol
