Store Credit

All of the EZ-Robot purchases made for my were by my GF who set up an account to order my Roli kit last Christmas. So, I've had no transactions with this account. I was on the shop page the other day and notice I have some store credit. :) I'm just wondering how and how long I have to use it? Thanks :)

Micro Servo

Hey guys, Does anyone know what brand the new Micro Servo that comes with the grippers is? I seized one up (or burnt it out) and need to get another one. I'm just assuming the international shipping would be pricey so I'd like to find a substitute with the same dimmentions. I did some looking on ebay and couldn't find one that matched the...

Possible Feature Request

Hi EZ-Robot, I was wondering if you've plans to add an SayEZB control similar to the current Speech Synthesis control? I know you can make the V4 speak using the SayEZB command but it would be nice to be able to just type messages on the fly in the simple interface. I know you did something similar with the Sound Board control. I was just wondering...

Balance Charger Question

Hey all. The green light on my balance charger is always on. I thought that it should be off when not connected to a battery. It seems to charge my battery but I unplug it after a few hours because I'm not positive the green light will go off when it should. Anyone have any info on this? Is my charger possibly bad or is it not really a big deal?...

Catching Up

Hey guys, I haven't been super active in the forums lately so I wanted to say hello to the fantastic EZ community. There have been a lot of good threads with tons of information. I've enjoyed reading them. Thanks to everyone for sharing. I haven't touched my robot for a few weeks. (I made so poor engineering decisions and got flustered. I think...

Solidoodle Website Updates

Hey there folks, I just wanted to let you all know that Solidoodle has expanded their line-up pretty considerably. If there are folks looking into getting into 3d printing on the cheaper side you may want to shoot over to solidoodle.com and have a look at some of the new things they have coming out. I personally haven't done a whole lot of digging...

Ez-Bit Connector Stl Not Printable?

Hi EZ-Robot. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but, I'm milking all of the STL files from EZ Builder and I notice the EZ-Bit connector for the Rotational Servo is marked not printable. It is also not available to download from the website either. This used to be and, I feel, should be a printable part. Was this intentional or just a woopsie ;)...

Ez-Bit Feature Requests.

Hey EZ-Robot. It would be great if we could edit the EZ-Bits we create. Example, I didn't proof read my description so I had to re-create the EZ-Bit. So now I have 2 uploaded to my library and one I no longer need. And while I can delete it from my local library, it's still in my "on-line" library. Which brings me to request #2. It would be nice if...

A Pat On The Back

Hey EZ-Robot. I've not been very active on the forums lately so I just wanted to give a quick thank you for all of the new features added to EZ-Robot recently. From website enhancements (,mobile version is great looking btw) to all of the amazing features added to EZ-Bulider. (Too many to mention but the port assignment and script editor...

Store Listing.

@EZ-Robot- Hey guys, I noticed that in the store, EZ-Bits>>Bodies & Chassis that the Roli Dev kit is listed and not Rover Body - Shell. Just thought I'd point it out.

New Video

the new video wont play on you tube due to copyrighted music by an emi artist :( Moby's album "Play" was released under public domain so if you're ever in need of some decent free music you can always use one of those songs. Not to plug Moby but it is just something I know from my advertising days.

Mobile App Connection-Project Storage Question

Once a project has been downloaded to your device, do you need the internet connection anymore? I ask because I saw a thread about a farmer wanting to use robots and he was given advice on router boosters and such but if once the project is on the phone then he could just get some smartphones and EZBs, download the project, connect the phones and...

Ez-Bit, Stl Question(S)

Hey guys, This may be a dumb question but, I just discovered that there are 2, 3d printing companies in my town. One is a solidworks that is 10-15 minutes from my house. I may pop by there and get some pricing info. So my question is, If I save the ez-bit stls from ez-builder, are those files "good to go"? Would I be able to take the servo and...

Ir Question

In the Robosapien video. Starting at 4:12, DJ says he records the commands from the remote and reproduces them. Are those simply PMW patterns? And if they are how would one reproduce them? Would that require the SDK or could it be done in EZ Script? Anyway thanks for any addition information anyone can give me on this. :)

Header Pin Questions.

Hey everybody. I have a some bread boards and an arduino uno and they all have female socket headers as to where the EZ has male headers. I have some jumper wires that I use with the other stuff and I would like to do the stuff with the EZB. Is there a connector or socket cover or something. Can I just pull the pins out of one of these then "cap"...

Og Droid 1

Hey guys, I found my old Droid the other day and I want to harvest the parts. I found a good video on how to get it apart, I'm just waiting on a screwdriver to come home today. But I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience using any of these parts? Or any cell phone parts actually? The touch screen has a dead zone but it is still a real nice...

Question About The Default Power Plug.

I'm talking about the green and black plug that you connect to the battery holder. By default is the center positive or negative? Sorry to ask such a basic question but, I tried searching and couldn't find the answer. Thanks :)

Having Trouble With Projects That Have Custom Ezbits?

Are you having trouble loading your projects with custom EZBits since the 6-5(6?)-13 update? Well I did so I figured I'd show you all how to save your projects from complete disaster. Step 1. Make a copy of your project. Step 2. Open the project in Notepad (or whatever) Step 3. Remove EZ Bits from the project. Here is what one looks like. The key...

Mini Servo Question.

Hey everybody! Can someone answer a question about the ez web store for me? Are the servos that come with the Pan/Tilt for cam or sensor, ... http://www.ez-robot.com/Shop/AccessoriesDetails.aspx?productNumber=23 ... the same mini servos that you can buy individually? http://www.ez-robot.com/Shop/AccessoriesDetails.aspx?productNumber=13 Thanks in...

Question On Weight Distribution.

Is it better to put the weight on top of the servos or for the servos to pull the weight? I found a good size piece of Styrofoam I'm going to use to make a new bot. (3rd times the charm!) but how i utilize it depends on the question I pose. Witch way would cause the most strain on the servos. I'm using the modified servos from my ezb complete. It's...

Questions Posting

Im having problems posting a solution I discovered and wanted to share for people who are having problems their projects not loading custom or missing ezbits with the new update. Just checking to see if I can do any posting?

Importing Stl Question(S)

Hey guys, I made a version of the zune box I'm using for my robot in sketup and exported it to stl. When I import it it seems super small or incredibly zoomed away. It twice as wide and about 2.5 times as long as a servo so why does it seem small? Is it just the default camera angel. I designed it by measurements. Sketchup is pretty cool btw, once...

A Couple Of Things.

Not major things. One's more of a question. On the JD project, the info for 0 degree heavy servo (0dhs), it says "positioned 'for' 0 degrees for display." Is that termed properly? It sort of through me for a second. 2nd, there's no bit stl(s) in JD biped foot and ankle. Is it because they are the same parts as right foot? I'll admit I...

Power Supply Question

Hi all, In my unpacking of items I've gotten out of storage, I've found an old kyrocea power supply. It says output is 5.2vdc. If I cut the end off and replace it with a proper connector, will I be able to use it for bench testing? I'm assuming I would but being new to electronics, I'll be second guessing myself until I get more experience. Thanks...

Keyboard Control Questions.

Hey everybody, I have my cameras pan and tilt servos set to be controlled by 'w,a,s,d' and I have 'x' set to a "snap to" position and then return to the previous position on release of the 'x' key. I started doing some trouble shooting with the 'w' key. I've put my code below. I've described my problem beneath the code. The problem seems to be...

Question On Bipeds?

I see that alot of biped (Lower halves at least) use a 6 servo set up. Those are all un-modified servos correct? There really isn't a need for modified servos in that set up is there? Thanks for any input in advance.

Videos Of Interest - A Collection

I notice people posting cool video on various subjects. I understand when someone asks a question and someone posts a video to help out. Let me say I love these other random videos and think maybe we could start a thread for those videos. As long as there's a introduction to them the site will find them with the search feature. I think it would be...

Ok, Who's Next?

I was just at the website where I ordered my ez-complete. They had 3, I bought 1, and today they are down to the last one. So, who's the lucky guy or girl who just bought an ez-complete? Are they lurking around on this site already?

Off Topic: Cell Phone Providers.

I have verizon and I pay a hefty bill. My contact is up in July and I'm thinking of jumping ship to another service but I am honestly afraid to. I have great coverage and service with verizon. It have never let me down. My mother lives in a pine forest , 30 minutes from anything and that thing is the only gas station for about an hour. They just,...

Now I've Gone And Done It.

That's right, all of your gracious time has not been in vein. I should have an ez-robot complete kit by Monday. Just in time to get comfortable enough to have to learn the new features in the soon to be released update. So, exciting!

3D Printing

I've been hear/seeing alot about 3d printers. Does any one have any intel on this one? http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/310-0001&source=CashbackShopping I'm thinking of making a 3d printer my autumn investment/splurge and really like the price on that one. I also live about an hour from Detroit and I could join the Detroit hackerspace who has...

A Few More Questions Please.

So, i'm seeing a few autonomous projects floating around and I've got some ideas masked as questions masked as ideas. What my ultimate goal is, is to have a robot that roams around 24/7 with the following causes. I'd like it to roam around for 10 minutes then stop or even sleep (but stop would do) for 20 min the roam again for 10. Unless a sensor...

Question About Wireless Range.

If ones bot should happen to move beyond the range of the wifi/bluetooth connection will the bot stop and/or cease to function. Or would you have to write a script to check the connection and if no connection, stop.?. I do realize you'd loose control via ezbuilder but does it get its scripts via the connection or are they uploaded to the ezb?...

A Couple Of Questions If You Please.

Hello everybody, I'm hoping to buy an ez complete by the end of summer and I've been reading up on it and watching the videos for a few weeks now. I'm familiar with programming so I follow it all pretty well I just have a couple questions I haven't found the answer to. OK, ready? Here we go. In the Robosapien video (Have 1 in a box and access to a...
