What Kind Of Sensor Do I Need

I want to put a sensor on a robot to keep it from running off the table or down a flight of stairs. Something that can sense the drop off. What do I need for this? is there a way to configure an Ultrasonic sensor to do this? Thanks

Ive Been Trying To Use A Vari

Ive been trying to use a variable like $ScriptManagerStatus but I get the error message Variable not defined and I can see that in the list of variables. I can use the $Autopositionstatus variable and it works great, however, having a $ScriptManagerStatus variable would be good to have as well. Can I create this variable? If so, how? Or does it...

Why Doesnt This Script Work Any More?

I have just switched over to the new 3 port Ultrasonic Sensors and this script will no longer work. Its the one I used for the 4 port Ultrasonic Sensor. The script always Prints 2 no matter how close I get an object to the sensor. $Center = GetPing(D11,D11) $close = 40 :start if($Center $close) print(1) else Print(2) endif Sleep(2000) Goto(start)...

Adding A Camera Function To An Autopostion Action

I have an Autoposition Action of about 15 frames, after frame 4, I want to have the camera take a picture and then continue on with the rest of the Action. Is it possible to add this camera function into the Action? Or will I have to split up the Action into 2 separate Actions with the camera function in between them? Thanks

What Happened To The Forum ?

Something has happened to the timeline and response notification on the forum. I got a lot of notifications last night about thread updates that dont exist and the newest threads are no longer showing the usual order.

Servo Movement Smoothing

I was just watching a James Burton video and he talked about Servo Movement Smoothing with an Arduino code in the beginning of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4WSeWlhihk The servos move quickly towards the required position and then slow down as the position required is approached. It really smooths the movements out. Is this possible...

Servo Dimensions

Ive been recommending to people to use EZ Robot servos. Ive noticed that the dimensions given in the description of the servos is incorrect. Perhaps someone at EZ Robot could put the right dimensions in the Comments Dimensions for all of the servos.

Neo Pixel Ring Tutorial

ooops! @DJ I was trying to upload the Arduino sketch, again into this tutorial and now after saving it, it is no longer public. I can open it but it doesnt show in the list of tutorials and the title has a line though it. What did I do wrong?

Random Answers To Questions Or Statements

Heres how I get random answers to questions and/or statements in ARC. Its a simple way that can be expanded on as needed.

Connecting A Neopixel Ring To An Iotiny

Im trying to get a NeoPixel Ring running off of an IOTiny board. On a EZBv4 the TX and RX are connected: D18 Signal Pin on the EZB to RX on the Arduino, D19 Signal Pin on the EZB to TX on the Arduino Which pins would I attach to on the IOTiny or can I run the ring off of the Tiny? Ive tried all of the Digital pins and they dont work. Thanks

Tutorial Update Questions

It was noticed that the Arduino sketch I put in the Neopixal tutorial wasnt working. https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/UserTutorials/150/1 I have tried to edit it so it will work, however, I cant add a missing line that has somehow gone missing from the sketch. In the sketch there is a line that should read; #include Adafruit_NeoPixel.h I cant add -...

4 - In - 1 Sensors At Brookstone

If youve been waiting the EZ-Robot 4-in-1 sensors, they are available 2 for 1 at Brookstone. http://www.brookstone.com/ez-robot-4-in-1-orientation-sensor/950594p.html Its a bit of a problem getting the deal if you are outside the US so phone them to place an order and they will make it work.

I Hate To Ask Again But

DJ, how is the 4 in 1 Orientation Sensor and the Inverted Pendulum coming along? Im working on a project that is going to depend on these sensors - any time frame yet? Also, did you post anything on the EZ-Cloud that shows the scripting you used in the video you posted to demonstrate the Inverted Pendulum? Ive looked around the Cloud for an example...

Connection Questions

How Can Two Commands Be Run At The Same Time?

I am trying to get two commands to run at the same time ( without success ).

Is there a way to have them run simultaneously?

Speaking Different Languages

Is there a way to have the a different language spoken in a script? Right now if you put in a different language it says it in English or tries to. On other platforms if you put in the Google Language identifier, fr for French, de for german, it for Italian, before your text, it will speak the phrase in that language.
