Connection Question - Multiple V4's

Good Day, I've been burning myself out trying to get this fixed. Read multiple threads but I'm still stumped. I was proficient in the V3's but just recently got back to working with the V4's. I have (2) V4's that I'm trying to connect to my router. I originally thought it was a router setting (LinkSys) but I'm now on router #3 with a barebones...

V4 Case Or Mouting Base?

Hey All, Does anyone have a V4 case design other than the EZ-Robot one that is posted? Looking for something different to print, figured I'd ask first before I waste time designing something up. If you have a .STL to share that would be great.

Mp3 Trigger & Variables / Sequencing

Hello All, Just working on some setup for big R2's audio setup. I'm using the Sparkfun MP3 Trigger. I'm trying to use $variables in command strings and it's not working. Is ARC capable of this for the Mp3Trigger command strings? Here is a normal command line: MP3TriggerVolume(D7, 38400, 30) I want to do something like this: $Mp3Volume=30...

Sendserial - Carriage Return?

I'm still fighting with a serial module. Noticed on the setup commands notes - > "All commands consist of a channel number, followed by a comma, the command and a newline (Enter key)" Does the sendserial command already do this? or do I need to add something in for a new line/carriage return? Command I'm trying to send is:...

DJ / Allan, Just curious if you guys are doing pre-bookings for the new mini EZ-B? Interest list?

Adc Help - Uggg Frustrated

Hey All, Trying to tweak my dome control scripts. My Hot Pot potentiometer outputs a number from 0-212 on ADC7 Here is a few variations of the script I'm trying to use. My main goal is to have the dome spin and stop on or close to the number I desire. There is some momentum delay to stop but I can work that out. Here are the scripts snipped from my...

Wireless Video Options?

Hey All, Just curious what other wireless video options you've found out there that work with ARC? I need to pick up a bunch more cameras and want to see what my options are. Just searching E-Bay....

Scripting Attempt # 1

Hey All, I've been working on my big R2 recently. It has a Sabertooth 2x25 for the foot drives and a Syren 10 for the dome. So that leaves me with using serial commands to control the dome. My dome uses a Pittman motor. R2's dome has a large gear type setup. The Pittman motor is a bit abrupt for starting and stopping. I've made my first attempt at...

Block User Feature For Forum?

DJ, Is there anyway to add a block user/ignore posts feature to your forum? I know it's your own code, so you must be able to customize? I'm sure myself and a few others have a few people we would like to erase out of our lives. There is a disruptive force on this forum that needs to go away.

Multi Board Support For Robosapien?

Is Robosapien only capable of working on board 0? Trying to add him to my multi-robot fleet but it doesn't look like I can use any other board #'s to run him? It will be a bugger to switch/re-program the current robot on board 0 so I can make him work. DJ thoughts?

Robotic Face

DJ, I recall seeing a post with a newer low cost acrylic cut robotic face/head. Maybe a Dagu product? Were you going to be offering those soon? The RoboticsSquared versions are nice, just pricey.

Rich. Your My Only Hope! ;-)

Rich, I was wondering if you can help me out? I need your programming wizardry. I'm using a serial 40 MP3 module. It does not have a built in random feature. Currently I just throw at it a script that it goes through the tracks one after the other. If I stop that script to do something else then call it back it starts at the beginning. Not so...

Merging Script Managers

Hey DJ, Love all the recent releases. With the capability to merge projects now, do you think it would be possible to allow drag & drop of scripts between multiple ScriptManager controls? For Example: I'm merging (2) Omnibot / (1) Wall-E / (1) R2-D2 projects into a one big multi-robot project. When merging, ARC keeps all the ScriptManagers...

Servo Spline Type?

Hello, Hopping to find a quick answer. What "style" of spline are the EZ-Robot servos (Standard and HD)? Futaba? Hitec? I need to order some adapters for my super easy Omnibot arms setup. Any help would be great. I'm stuck at work, so I can't go look at the actual servos to search them out.

Sabertooth 2X25 & Syren10.

Hey All, Kicking into high gear to get my R2 ready for the Calgary Comic Expo. I did try searching for an answer but didn't find any firm topics on running both motor controllers at the same time. I have had the Sabertooth running with the EZ-B via serial. The 2x25 is for my drive motors and the Syren10 is for my dome drive motor. I know the...

Scriptmanager Randomness

Hello, Is anyone experiencing so weird randomness with ScriptManager? I find if I have moved any of my scripts up/down it acts kinda weird afterwards. Almost like the script description has moved but the data table doesn't realize it. I'll Post my OmniBot Script up. -> Omnibots If you run "Start", wait a wee bit then run...

Wall-E Head Movement Help!

Hey All, I'm trying to finish up my Wall-E build. I have the track/motors, arms, sonar all done. Trying to tackle the head. All I want is simple left/right and up/down. I've been browsing the forum and looking at as many builds but haven't got a clear picture of how people are doing this. I can do the left/right easily, it's the up/down that I'm...

L298n & Ez-B Question For Dj

Hi DJ, I followed your tutorial along pretty much one for one for the L298N. In my attempt to keep things neat and tidy I had the H Bridge setup for D16-D19, and attempted to put the PWM control on D15. Dead in the water. No nothing. Double checked everything then finally put away for the evening in frustration. Gave it another whirl tonight. On a...

Speech Recognition: Script For Any Command

Hello, Does anyone know how to use this field under the Speech Recognition config? I tried typing a name of one of my scripts but get an error everytime. Couldn't find any info in the Script Help. Anyone?

Mp3 Trigger - Set Volume

Hi DJ, Hope your having fun at Maker Faire. I finally got my MP3 Trigger in from Sparkfun. It's up and running. A question, maybe I'm missing it in ARC or it's not possible. 1) Is there any command line to set volume for the MP3 Trigger? All I can find is the drop down on the MP3 Trigger control panel. I do not want to run external triggers to...

Mps Gas Cap Switch

Hey All, Trying to work this MPS Gas Cap into my R2 project. I want to use it as a fail safe switch in case R2 makes a break for it. I want to use it in reverse of what it is advertised for. Basically I want R2's power to be on when the "plug" is in and shut off if the "plug" is pulled. I've tossed it together on my bread board...

Hello!

Hey All, Just wanted to drop a quick introduction. My name is Kris and I'm an R2 builder here in Alberta. My R2 is basically complete and I've been debating on different control systems for it. Met DJ at the Calgary Expo this weekend and really like the EZ-B setup. Wife picked me up a kit for my birthday! I'll be adding some pics shortly as I...
