Is There A Better Wireless Camera For ARC?

We have two issues with the existing camera that came in the kit. 1) It drops the link and cant get it back for hours or days. 2) Ever since the new SW builds, where we lost resolution control, it is inadequate to accomplish the tasks that we designed the bot to do. We are now at the end of our time and we have nothing to demonstrate because it...

Camera Resolution

My glyph detection dropped from 35 feet to 3 feet when I lost the ability to set the camera resolution. This is a major feature for our bot. Would you suggest that we go back a few releases to restore that function? If so, how can we download that previous release? Thanks again

Ez Robot Math

Hello Again, Has anyone figured out a way to do simple math with ARC? We have servo position and camera coordinates. We are trying to couple them to derive driving and firing solutions, while scanning the camera. We used to do all of that with a Cortex. It seems pretty simple. Maybe we need to go with a different processor. Any thoughts are...

Sensor Integration Questions

Hello again, We are atttepting to scan the room looking for a glyph. Once detected we would like to drive over to it and stop just before it. To do this we mounted the ping sensor on top of the WIFI camera and mounted the camera to a servo. We used a modiifed servo movement panel to command the wheels to go when a glyph is detected. This work,...

Ez B Control Of Pwm Motors

I have a box of VEX motors, both 2-wire dc motors and 3-wire PWM motors, which contain an internal motor controller. When I connect a 3-wire PWM motor to EZ B and try to control with PWM, nothing happens. Yet, when I connect it to a servo slider, I can control it. I am sourcing power from an external source, rather than from the EZ B port. Any...
