Hi DJ Sures and every one in the communty! I am Laurine from France and I am a newbie at EZ Robot Apparently in desktop interface there is the possibility to invert directions for vertical servos but not in mobile interface? The arm of my robot goes the wrong way with mobile. Thank you for your help

Hello - what robot do you have? Sounds like the servo is installed backward.

#3  

Hi DJ, unfortunately this fix did not work for me. I don't get an error message any more but It still skips lines of text, the mouth movement is out of sync and I hear a loud clicking noise from my speaker at the beginning and end of lines of text. Everything runs fine on the 12/31/2015 release.

Can you share your project or an Example Project that produces this issue? I am unable to reproduce it. If the mouth is out of sync, you will need to tweak the values in the talk servo configuration screen.

#5  

@Bob and @DJ it works no problem with say() and saywait() commands.... I think Bob is having the issue with sayezb() and saywaitEZB()

#6  

Here's a script that runs fine on the 12/31/2015 release but does not run on the new release as mentioned in post #4. I am hesitant to make any adjustments because everything is in sync when using the 12/31 release.

Hi, Sorry for the late answer. I was at work. It is a home made robot with ez B v4 kit, and the arm servos have both the turning part in the high part. I try to attach some photos. Thank you!
