Connection Control Ip Input Not Working On Phone

Ever since I updated to the new version of the app on my android phone when I try to enter the IP address in the connection screen it does not work. When I type for example 192.168.3.2 what ends up in the control text box is 1921683.2 or some variation of that. Also the done button does nothing when pressed. The only way I can get back out of the...

Motor Gripper Constant Servo Noise

I have two of the servo grippers with the mini servos. When I first power up the EZB the servos make no noise. After telling the servo to go to a position the servo moves to the position and stops but keeps making a high pitched hum as if the servo is still trying to move. This occurs no matter what position it moves to. My other servos for example...

Uart Read Commands

Perhaps its just me but the UART commands for reading data is in the manual but when I try to type it in it does not seen to work and where the command would show up kind of like intellisense they do not. Any help would be appreciated.
question

Uart Port Voltage

Looking at the EZB spec sheet the UART TTL Voltage Level (input/output) is listed at 3.3 volts. I am going to connect that port to a device that uses 5V TTL for communicating via serial. I believe I would have to use a bidirectional logic level converter. Am I correct? Thanks
question

Arrays

In EZ-Script: It is not really clear to me what functionality regarding Arrays are supported with EZ-Script. Perhaps someone can clarify for me how to do the following: 1. How do I define an array with multiple elements all at once. 2. How do I traverse the elements of an array? 3. How do I append to the array? 4. Is there a for loop like...

Ezb Audio

First let me say I have been using the EZB for a few days now and I love it. The only aspect about it that I am not too thrilled about is the audio output quality. There seems to be a high amount of white noise//buzz no matter the volume. I have both tried MP3 and WAV files of different quality but it does not seems to make that much difference. If...

Pulling A Jpeg From Http Server Control Results In Not A Jpeg Error In Roborealm

I am using the read_HTTP module in Roborealm to pull the static image provided via the HTTP Server control in ARC. When I try Roborealm says its not a valid JPEG image. Troubleshooting done: 1. Using a browser I can access the image in ARCs HTTP server just fine. 2. Using a different website that provides an image the read_HTTP module in Roborealm...
question

Virtual Cameras

I was thinking that one thing that might be useful is if ARC could export the video feed from the EZB camera to multiple virtual cameras. That way if you had multiple applications that you need the camera feed in at the same time it would be easy to do. Thanks

Robot Navigation

I was doing some research on robot localization and I noticed roborealm has a module called AVM. One function in it is called navigation by map.

If not perhaps its...
