Custom Firmware

Hey, I asked this in another Category, probably not the right one... but anyways Im trying to replace the EZ B code in my board with custom AVR code as I know the board is an ATMega128. The thing is I do not have a programmer, but I know the EZ B has a bootloader for us to update the firmware over bluetooth. The code 14 activates the boot loader,...

What Is The Amperage Of The Digital Pins?

What is the max amperage that the digital pins give? I dont mean the power pins, I mean the signal ones.

Arduino And Ez-Robot Hybrid

Hey there, I recently got myself an arduino uno for embedded programming, but it lacks the amount of IO pins the EZ-B has, then I thought to myself, why not control the ezb from the arduino? So here, Ive ported a minimal part of Openbot to arduino to control servos and set digital ports for now. To make this work you connect the pin 5 in your...

Programming Ez-B

Hey DJ, is there any chance you can tell me what kind of input does the EZ-B bootloader take? Am I violating any terms of the EZB? If not is there any way in which you can help? Ive always wanted to program the EZ-B with my own code, and yes Im fully conscious that Im not going to be able to use EZ SDK, nor ARC, but is there any chance of me being...

Using 2.4Ghz Cameras Communication Module On The Ez-B

Hey, Ive noticed the bluetooth communication in the EZ-B has a certain low range, it stops working at about 5 meters, but the camera has a very large range.

Ez Sdk Ports For Ios And Mac

Well, theyre not as advanced as DJs SDK, but it works for my robot :). The one of iOS only has servo control as I started it this weekend. It requires jailbreaking though :P as Apple can only talk with their approved devices or BLE, and your bluetooth module is not BLE, sorry for that :P. Anyways here they are Mac:...

Ez Robot Ports

Hey, Ive been enjoying my EZ Robot and decided to stop using Bootcamp on my mac. Which is why I started porting the parts I needed for my robot. So far Ive managed to make a mac port with webcam, tracking and movement and an iOS port with movement, not controlling by WiFi, the app is running in the ios without the need of any other device, but only...

Bootloader Question

Hey DJ, Ive noticed in the source of EZ OpenBot you have the message type BootLoader, what is it for? Another question, I see the EZ Bot board is an ATMega128 if Im not wrong, then it is possible to program it to run without a computer (Embedded programming). Ive found ET-AVR ISP in here http://www.futurlec.com/ET-AVR_Stamp.shtml#Programmer which...

Wireless Camera Freezes After Single Frame Capture.

Hey, Ive managed to make a limited port of ez sdk to C# Mono and now Im running all the software and developing my robot on my Mac, now I know its not your job to help me as you do not support mac, but I suspect Im not too far from this. When I try to use it it just captures a single frame and stays there, but the frame updates each time the camera...

Better Range

Hey, If I want to get a better range in the EZ-B, how can I achieve this, Xbee? Wifi? Because the camera has an incredible range and Id wish the EZ-B did too, but how can I be able to achieve this? Im a programmer and starting robotics so Im not expert in the hardware, where can I find an installation tutorial for either of these?

Wireless Camera In Screen Using Ez Sdk

Ive already seen the camera streaming what its seeing in the bot, in the ARC, but I want to do the same in EZ SDK, I want to be able to watch what the robot watches, how can I achieve this in C#?
