My big robot not made from a toy. I just cant seem to stay on one long enough to...

Nothing To Do With Robots

Hey Everyone! This has nothing to do with robots, just one of the members of EZ Robot Community. I just wanted to let you all know that I have published my first book! It is available as an ebook at Amazon.com The Winter People It is Horror. Thanks, Bret

Phoenix Area Arcs?

Hello EZ Community, I am moving to the Phoenix area and would love to meet other ARCs. Anyone in the Phoenix area that may want to get together and work on robots? Thanks, Bret

Vexplorer Tread Kit

Is anyone familiar with the Vexplorer Tread Kit? I have one that I was thinking of upgrading my omnibot with, but wasnt sure if it would take the weight. Keep in mind it will have a larger battery (12V) and two guns for arms. So there will be a slight weight increase over the original weight. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

Omnibot Tires

Anyone have an issue with the rubber tires on their omnibot falling apart? What did you/can you do to fix or replace the rubber?

Robosapien H Bridge Motor Controller

This message is for DJ or anyone else who may have an answer. I am combining my robosapien with a RAD base for movement. In setting up the robosapien it seems I must use the D1 port to connect to the Robosapien via the movement panel for robosapien. I assume that is how I must communicate with the robosapien control module as no other option is...

Robot Manuals

Here is a great site I came across that has a multitude of robot manuals from all manufacturers. Robot Manuals

Which Programming Language For A Newbie

As I near the completion of my little B9 I am contemplating programming. While the EZ-B is very robust for non-programmers, there is so much more I can do with code. My problem is I dont know any code. So as a total beginner, which should I use? VB, C#, C++ I just dont know which would be easiest for my old brain to wrap to itself around. Any...

Yet Another Review Of Ez-B

While searching the web I came across this review of the EZ-B that I had not seen on the EZ-Robot site. @DJ - did not know if you were aware of this one, but here it goes. EZ-B Review

Thank You Dj And Ez-B

I just wanted to say thank you to DJ. The EZ-B is truly revolutionary and brings a realization to many of us who have dreamed of building our own personal robots. This forum is also a blessing. I have never been more proud to be associated with a group of people who are so helpful and friendly. It is funny how so many, who are into non-humans, can...

New Motor Controller

So the new motor controller offered by DJ: This looks just like my stepper motor controller (in fact I think it is). Can this control standard DC motors and stepper motors? Does anyone have a wiring diagram for hooking it up to the EZ-B? and I apologize for all my comments on the other posts, I was just trying to move that Robots-Suck off the page....

Question About Alternate Powered Servos

I have several servos tied into an alternate power source with the signal wire coming from the EZ-B. Question: When those servos are tied into the alternate power do they draw any current when the signal wire is not energized (ie. the EZ-B is turned off)? I want to know if I need to put an on/off switch in line with the power to those servos?...

El Wire

Can I hook up EL Wire directly to the EZ-B or do I need to use the inverter provided with the EL Wire and just power it from the EZ-B?

Robot Hands

Check out these robot hands from Custobots: http://www.custobots.com/products/robot-hands-kl01003ho Kind of expensive but they have given me ideas on how to create my own. And they are controlled with only one servo! Does anyone else have something like this?

Camera For Omnibot

My omnibot goes in the dishwasher tonight and I will be ordering my EZ board with my next pay check. In the mean time, what kind of wireless camera do I need to use? Does it need to come with the receiver or how do I see it on my computer?

Omnibot Arm Servos

Hi DJ, what is the torque of the servos you used for arm movement on your Omnibot Project? I am starting to modify my bot and was wondering how strong I needed to make those. I have some that are 208oz/inch. Are those sufficient?
