Thanks everyone.

@Fxrtst it's good to see you back. Thanks .. About the picture - once you open the robosapien, it will be very clear where to solder. It's labelled as i state in the video. Just pause the video on the frame if you need to see

@Louis I think you're mistaken - Windows Media Player is what plays your MP3 audio in Windows. ARC is a different program. Writing an MP3 decoder is a little more work than you would imagine.

Try the new release file i put up today and see if it works for your bitrate. It's release 2010.06.19.00

@DJ I know what you mean. I was thinking that since ARC is playing the audio on the PC and not using any resource on EZ-B, it'd be great to play high quality music thru the robot's speakers some time instead of just robot voice and noises. Just something to consider improving. I'll try the new release. Thank you!

Update: New release works perfectly, even on higher birates, you're awesome!

Hi DJ, First of all I would like to thank you for the amazing features you just added to ARC! And I have noticed with the latest release that the "repeat" box, in the settings of the EZ Script, between the name and debug, is no longer there. The issue here is that this is a key feature that use extensively to accomplish many useful actions in my programs. Would it be possible to restore it please in a future update?

Nick

@nicolson the repeat box has been removed due to the new compiler. To repeat a script, do the following:

:Start

# code goes here

goto(Start)

The reason for the change is due to EZ-Robot conforming to some software development standards for educational use. I put that in because it was a neat feature, but does not conform to development procedures. To properly loop is to properly understand your development environment

For example, after a bit of EZ-Script, you will eventually begin using VB or C# scripting controls due to learning

Thx DJ! You definitely want me to progress in my programming skills.

Hello DJ I really dont understand wich microcontroler it is an ardiuno but which one. and wat do you need to connect with the ardiuno do you need connect to the motors how many wires because i have buyed the robo kit and robospaien V1 but i really dont get it how to send the program to the controller and is the robot hacked and how do you send the program to the ardiuno. and the program i really need help i need the scheme of how its put in together because its an school project and i need the details of what im doing thats why please Dj help and sorry for my english i hope you understand me. thanks

Hi wajih_sethi

Its not an Arduino board that interfaces to the Robosapien and other robots that you can build yourself. You need the EZ-B board that DJ sells on this website. There are lots of tutorials on here that tell you exactly what to do and how everything works

Arduino is a great open source platform but here we are only talking about EZ-B which has thousands of lines of code and and interface program in ARC that runs on your PC all built by DJ that takes all the hard work out of building robots well all the hard programming work in any case.

I suggest you download ARC (its free) and look at the options it has then review all the tutorials. Everything you need is here

Thanks so the microcontroller is called EZ i have the kit but my teacher was asking al the time wich controller is it so i was under pressure and he was asking also what to do with the motors so you dont need connect the motors thats a releaf but what about hacking the robot because its sometime stressfull because its something it needed to be clear what im doing and can also program in for programmers but you dont have an tutorial of that

thanks
