Lol! Now that is what I call customer service! I take back what I was thinking about EZ Robot, "They only care about the young robot builder ". You really do care about us old guys. :D

Really, I have always known that and do appreciate your work to make sure that this is fun and easy for us all. Even EZ to see. ;) Thanks so much.

OK, I changed my resolution to 1600x900 and adjusted a few font sizes and everything flattened out nicely. Thanks again!

Thanks DJ,

Looks great and the panic button is a nice simple solution to prevent robots from knocking holes in walls. My wife will thanks you too.:)

PS. I'll give my left little finger for that I2C 6 DOF IMU you demonstrated about a month ago. I'm assuming if it were available it would be listed under sensors in the store?
