Hi All, As I follow the RPi SDK instructions below, when it get the command: sudo gacutil -i EZ_B.dll https://www.ez-robot.com/EZ-Builder/mono The Pi counsel reads: Failure adding assembly EZ_B.dll to the cache: The system cannot find the file specified. I didn't see where in the instructions where I could get the dll. I've searched the site for a...

Robotic Base Modification For Laundry Cart

I solved my quest for a cool looking platform base which was a requirement from my wife. Just ordered this two wheeled self-balancing scooter to modify for a laundry / grocery cart. $425 with shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Wheels-Balancing-Electric-Scooter-Unicycle/dp/B00YSCCET6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?&ie=UTF8 I plan to add a triangular...

New Indoor Navigation Combines Video With Inertial Data

Just found this website that includes a methodology to produce very accurate indoor navigation. They combine a technique called Rolling Shutter with IMU sensor fusion. http://www.ee.ucr.edu/~mli/RollingShutterVIO.html Here's the paper covering her methodology: http://www.ee.ucr.edu/~mourikis/papers/Li2013ICRA.pdf Don't be intimidated by the...

Inverted Pendulum Order Progress

Hi DJ, Any approximate ETA on the inverted pendulum? That seems to be a very powerful and necessary tool for the coolest bipeds, two wheeled and Segwayesk projects. I have an AI biped project based on Shannon entropy that's been gestating with a slow summer to give birth. Thanks Much, Bill

A Place To Buy Robot Cases?

Hi Mates, I'm a very bad fabricator and have been scouring the web for a robot case that would look nice in a contemporary high tech office / home and can't find anyone who sells cool looking robot cases. It just can't look like a tool chest with wheels. I've completed a mini scale of the autonomous bot with the rover chassis and I have the parts...

Feature Request For Addition And Division Of Arrays

Hi DJ, I would like make a feature request to do array addition and division so I'll be able to do DSP for things like vibration signature analysis to test faulty metal parts. I suspect it may be a little late in the game now, but here's a very well developed open source scripting language that's quite similar to ARC that could be customized for...

New Powerful Simple Sensor Tech

Hey Brothas, I think you'll like this. I found this paper sumerized this week on physorg.com of a very simple graphite sensor made by drawing on a piece of paper and attaching wires to the drawing. Then as the paper is bent it produces a very specific digital signature on an AD converter. I've created a video demonstration for it. This will be a...

Weight Limits For Ez Bits

Hi, I see that the weight limits for the Heavy Duty servo (HDS) is 15 kg but I would like to know how much weight could the Ezbit Adapt > HDS > Extension block > HDS >extension block > HDS > extension block > iron fist. :) I'm wanting to see how easy it would be to control an AirWheel (electric self balancing unicycle) with the EzB as a potential...

Dos And Don'ts To Prevent Release Of The Magic Smoke

Hi, The extent of my knowledge in electronics is that they run on magic smoke and if you let it out they stop working. :) I found a thread on hooking up H-bridges prevented me from frying my EZb 4. I would like a one stop thread where we could post our experiences where we have fried our boards and other components. I've gone through all the...

Array $Xray[$N]=1 Makes An Error

Hi, Am I doing something wrong? This code is producing this error in the latest version of EZ builder: Error on line 41: Input string was not in a correct format. my line with the $yray[$n]=2.12 creates the above error The arrays with static numbers as in $xray[1] = 3.14 work [] $n=0 definearray($xray,5) definearray($yray,5) definearray($zray,5)...

Ezb 4 Status Update On Orders Page?

Would the powers that be put blurb on the orders page of the current status of the EZB 4? http://www.ez-robot.com/Orders.aspx Or put a EZB 4 status link in the menu area next to Community Forum, EZ-Robots, EZ-Cloud, 3D Printing Community, EZB 4 status update? That would likely save time from people asking over and over again, and my having to...

Using All Iphone Sensors Gps With Ez-B

I'm inches away from creating a method for us to use Iphones GPS, Acclerometer, gyro, data for our robots. This app rapidly streams data to the PC via wireless UDP stream. With Python 2.7 or greater installed, this Python script updates the PC with comma delimited data of telemetry data. I've been trying for about 12 hours to make the Python script...

Ez Builder Broke From Win 8 To Win 8.1 Update On Surface

Had Ez Builder 7-29 working and communicating with the EZ B until I upgraded from Win 8 to Win 8.1. Uninstalling and reinstalling Ez Builder didn't work. Here's a video of the symptoms: Any suggestions? I'm trying to downgrade back to win 8 now but it's a pain... Thanks, Bill

Looking For Analog Read Of Heat Sources Mlx90614?

I just failed to yield useful results from 3 Radio Shack pIR digital sensors mounted to my robot. When it moves wether it's in or out doors it picks up many different heat signatures and can't follow a body. I'm looking for an analog equivilant and came across the MLX90614 which has I2c and a PWM output capabilities. The PWM would likely be the...

Wii Remote Error Connecting To Wii Remote

Hi, I'm attempting to build a 2 servos on wheels balancing bot with a Wii remotes accelerometer. I'm using version 2012.10.27 and during the procedure where I've added the Nintendo Wii unpaired and the blue lights are flashing, and I add the Misc Wii control I get this message: "error connecting to Wii remote: Timed out waiting for status report"...

Non Ms Developer Studio C# App For Wireless Camera? Yes/No Question

Hi, My main question is: Can the EZ builder embedded C# script read camera data from the wireless camera I purchased? If so, I'll give my left little finger to anyone who can provide me with a sample C# script that does not require MS developer studio or any other complex program beyond the ARC scripting languages that does the equivalent of the C#...

Ez-Script If And And And Syntax?

I'm trying to teach my robot to center a red can with the cameraX variables and use the center of 3 ping sensors to know when it's in punching distance per my video. Is there currently a way to do the equivalent of this C# script in Ez-Builder: if ((LeftDistance>Far) && (CenterDistance>Far) && (RightDistance>Far)){ ezb0.Movement.GoReverse(50);...

C# If And Boolean Operators Are Broke Me Thinks.

Hi I'm trying to move the ping sensor to 3 locations and capture the variables of $left, $Center and $right and compare which has the largest distance among these three locations to make the robot move in that direction. I've moved from EZ-Script to the C# scripting for better conditional control. The goforward() command for the h-bridge in your c#...

If Conditions Broke On 9-14-2012 Update

Here's some sample code that just keeps counting beyond 90 where on the previous update it exits as it's told. Uninstalling the latest update and reinstalling the previous one was a solution for me. Hope this helps.

The 6 Axis Robotic Arm Working Script Included

Here's a video of the 6 axis arm moving very fast yet gently picking up a lid and placing it on a bottle. It does produce EZ-B brownouts after prolonged use after putting it back and forth a few times. Here's the Ez-Script source code to make this happen: Best, Bill
