Raspberry Pi Offline Speech Recognition

I was scouring the internet this afternoon, and came across this project. Its a stand alone sound pattern recognition program for raspberry pi, which can be used as speech recognition for verbal commands. I have to do more research into it, and start experimenting, but I wanted to mention it on the forum in case someone had already, or if someone...

Controlling A Remote Control Device With A Ez-B

So I got thinking(Oh no, not again...) and I thought about how to control a remote control device with the ez-b, much like the roboquad. I know that the roboquad has too many versions to get one that works, but what about other things like cars and other things that may operate by either IR, 27mHz or 49mHz signals. 1. How would you connect the...

Serial Communication With Arduino

Hey everyone, I am using arduinos in my coding class, and have tried to communicate with it via the ez-b over serial. I seem to be able to receive, but I am not able to send it seems. I am using the serial terminal for ez-b, as well as the serial monitor in the arduino ide. When I send a string, the ez-b recieves, but I cannot seem to get the...

How Can I Manipulate ARC And Other Windows?

Hey guys. I am currently working on a form of ARC artificial intelligence made in ez-script. I was something I wanted to attempt to show the extent of ARC s capabilities. 1)I want to, however, minimize ARC in ez-script while letting the scripts continue to run. Is there already a way to do this? If not, FEATURE REQUEST! 2) I would also like to find...

Invalid Boolean Script Error

Hey guys. I dont want to give away my current project so I wont say much other than the code and my problem. In the following script I get this error: Error: 6:07:26 PM - Error on line 13: String was not recognized as a valid Boolean. This is the script. No idea what is causing it, other than perhaps there is too many phrases. Script: #This is...

Tapping Into The Original

I was thinking again, and I figured there must be a way to get position feedback from a standard servo. I found this forum post outlining exactly what I was thinking. forums.trossenrobotics.com/tutorials/how-to-diy-128/get-position-feedback-from-a-standard-hobby-servo-3279/ Basically, you connect a wire to the servos potemeter and another to the...

Ez-Copters?

I know there was one person who made a quadcopter with the ez-b but is there anyone else who made a helicopter with the ez-b? if so, could you give some tips?

February 2016-Best 3D Printers?

Hey guys. As you know, Im a wiz with cardboard structures, but those arent really the best. I started to look into 3D printers, but with the huge number out there I wanted to see the opinions of those whom may have already gotten and used their printers for a while. I continue to fall back on the da vinci 1.0 or 1.0 pro but shipping to Canada from...

Continuous Servo Ramping

I dont want to spoil the project yet, but I have 2 continuous servos in tank drive. The continuous servo movement panel works but for balance purposes I need to ramp it up to full power. The problem is if I issue a PWM command, the servos will only go forward which causes the robot to spin(one servo mounted backwards). How can I ramp one servo...

Continuous Rotation Servos At 8.0V

Alright. Simple question. If I have continuous rotation servos connected to the ez-b running off of a 7.2v ni-mh battery(max voltage7.9) will it survive? If not, could I just PWM it down and it will do fine?

Difference Between Ez-B And Arduino Video: Biggest Misconceptions

Alright guys, its time to make a video to tell newbies what the difference is between arduino and Ez-b. This can also talk about software. Biggest misconceptions/diffences: (Ill update this list as we go.) 1. Ez-b does not get programmed, everything is done in ARC 2. The ez-b is not a micro controller, it is a robot controller, sort of like a...

Helicopter Board To Rc Receiver

Hey guys, I was just thinking about a possible way to make the ez-b controllable via any rc receiver/transmitter. What I would do is wire a 2 motored helicopter recieving board, and would hook the motor line to adc ports on the ez-b. Then, one motor will translate into forward speed, and the other will translate into turning speed and direction....

How To Make Image Button Stay Color Until Direction Change?

This is just a question about something I came across. When using an image button in the ARC mobile interface, if you make the script forward(), It doesnt change to the running color.

5Vregulator Ez-Bit

Just recently DJ posted about a new 5volt regulator ez-bit that will be on the shop soon(hopefully) and I drew a few questions from this: 1.For how many devices? Can it only handle 1? Or many? 2. What are the specs? Amperage? Size? Ect. Any info is great. Thanks, Tech

Selecting Which Wireless Connection To Scan.

I have set up a separate router for my robots. It doesnt have wifi, so I bought separate dongle to use as an internet connection. I have a problem. ARC scans the first connection for ez-bs, but the ez-bs are on the second connection. How can I fix this?

Extending The Camera Wiring

I need help on extending the camera cables. Should I just cut them and add in wiring in between? Or should I buy an extender for that cable type? Whats your opinion?

Ez-B V4 Not Connecting?

Im trying to get my ez-b working. I connect to the wifi source made by the ez-b. Windows states its a limited network.

Wifi Extender Idea

I was just thinking. Oh no! Well, what I was thinking about is because the new ez-b runs on wifi, it would be compatible with wifi range extenders. This, depending on what kind of range extender you get, could double(if not close to triple) your range on your bot. Wifi range extenders range from $20-$100 depending on the range and maker. Setup #1:...

Slide Script Help

So Im trying to use use a slide script. I have the variable setup as $RightPWM. If I want to make another script that uses that variable to set the pwm how would I do that? Aka $RightPWM= 5, I want the pwm to change to 5. How would I do this? If statement? Not sure how I would make it.

2 Pwm Movement Panel
