Hdd Servo Lifting Weight In Pounds

Afternoon All According to the product specs the new HDD servos can lift up to 19kg. I used several online converters for kg to pds and it came out to 41 pounds. Is this correct? Thanks, D. Scott

Combining Different Ez Boards

I searched the forum but didn't see an answer to my question. Can EZ 3 and EZ 4 boards be used together in a project if both are updated with the latest software? Thanks, D. Scott

Multiple Ez Networks Appearing

This is related to a previous question but that seems to have disappeared from the forum (it has been a few weeks). Anyway :-) I'm showing multiple networks when I attempt to connect to my boards: EZ B V4-2A EZ B V4-0F It seems like one board will only work with one network. The other board with the other. I would think there should only be a...

Combining Older And Newer Boards?

So can older and newer boards (ez-bv4) be used in the same project? The physical configuration of ports is different and I don't seem to be able to get anything in the older board to activate (the newer one works fine). Thanks, Daniel

Ez Servos And Voltage

Hola Hopefully this is easy. Can the standard EZ servos (builders kit) safely run at 5 volts (but plenty of amps)? Thanks, D. Scott

2 Direction H-Bridge Controllers?

Afternoon All I just want to confirm there are no 2 direction H-Bridge Controllers (back and forth)? I only see 4 direction options. Thanks, Daniel

San Francisco Connection

Evening All I was wondering if there are any San Franciscans using EZ. I could really use some face to face collaboration on my project. Daniel

Mac Or Pc For Ez? About To Purchase A New Laptop

Afternoon All I'm about to purchase a new laptop but wanted to see if anyone had a recommendation regarding systems. For those Mac users did you have any problems running EZ? Did you have to use Parallels and were you happy? PC users: is there a recent system you would suggest works well with EZ? Thanks, Daniel

Vendor For Power Connectors

Hello All I've lost my power connectors and cannot find a vendor to purchase a new one. Perhaps I'm using the wrong term when I do searches online. Can anyone direct me? The new batteries from EZ won't be available until July. Thanks, Daniel

Multiple H-Bridges On A Single Project

Hi All So apparently the only way to use multiple H-Bridges on a single robot in is to create multiple project widows? Correct? When I attempt to add a second H-Bridge I get the message one H-Bridge per project. Thanks, Daniel

Advantages Of Programming?

Morning All Would anyone like to chime in on what the advantages are to using the programmer's version of EZ instead of the non-programmer one? I'm a total novice (research psychologist by trade) but am willing to learn C++ or another language. Thanks, Daniel

H Bridge As On/Off Switch

Morning All This is one of those really, really, really basic questions. If I want to power up my robot (turn him on/off) via the EZ Board I'm assuming I simply use an H Bridge. I'm using a 12 volt system so an H Bridge is the only safe way if I want the EZ Board to control this function, right? Thanks, Daniel

Multiple Bluetooth Devices And Interference?

Morning All I searched the forums but didn't find an answer. I want to use another Bluetooth device to send two tracks to the sound system in my robot (independent of EZ). Would such transmissions interfere with Bluetooth communication to the EZ Board? Thanks, Daniel

Recommendations For 12 Volt Rechargeable Battery

Would anyone care to recommend a 12 volt rechargeable battery system? I plan on using at least two: one to power a 12 volt Dewert and actuator and another to power two 12 volt actuators and a 12 volt servo. The load will be quite low (no locomotion). The systems will be controlled by two separate EZ boards. Thanks, Daniel

Servo Wire Gage Over Distance?

Hello All I've searched the forum but couldn't really confirm my question. What gage wire would I use to extend my EZ servos? I read that the farther the distance the heavier the gage should be. I'm looking to extend at least a few feet, perhaps 3 to 4 at most. Thanks, Daniel

Version Conflict

I'm attempting to connect to my EZ-board but keep getting the message I'm running version 8 OS but the board requires version 16. I've downloaded and installed the latest OS twice and rebooted but it doesn't upgrade. Any suggestions? Thanks, Daniel
