Ez-Bit Heavy Duty Servo Does Not Fit Kit Servo

Hello, I just printed the EZ-Bit Heavy Duty Servo 90degrees. Then I tried fitting it to the EZ-Robot servos that came with the kit and it does not fit. I was under the impression since there where no EZ-Bit brackets for the standard servo that this EZ-Bit would fit. Are the dimensions of the heavy duty servo different from the kit servo? If so then...

Does The Irobot Create Work As A Supported Platform?

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to hook up the EZ-B to the iRobot Create? It is basically like the Roomba but without the Vacuum cleaner and it is cheaper, only $130, and it seems like a good wheeled base for a robot. It also has a bunch of sensors built in which would be cool to control from ARC. Would it hookup the same way as the...

2D Environmental Array

Hello All I just saw this video of the autonomous wall-e robot. DJs Autonomous Wall-E In the video DJ specifies that he used a 2D environmental array so the robot would know of its position. This video was done before ARC so I was wondering if there was such a feature in ARC? Is this 2D Array just the floor map feature?

Help Me With Camera Servo Tracking Please

Hello, So I tried out the Camera servo tracking today. I clicked the settings for the camera module, selected my horizontal and vertical servo, set its min and max and then checked enable servo tracking. Then I checked color, and held a red object for the camera to track. The camera shows a box around the object but when I move it towards one end...

Still Confused About Ez-Bits And Bi-Pedal Robot Jd

Hello, So I have been taking a look at JD the example project from ARC Revolution and I am still confused about some things. First I would really love to see a video of JD the robot moving. I think that would help clear up some of my confusion. A video tutorial about building JD would be great too. I am sure that is all to come. First is in the...

Servo Sliders

Hello, I am having a very frustrating problem with the Horizontal and Vertical Sliders in ARC. I think the GUI update for the Servo control is a bad update, and the sliders that use to be there are much better. What is happening is when I click and drag to change the servo position value, when I let go the number in the box jumps to another number....

Wireless Camera Power Questions

Hello, Since I have received my EZ-Robot kit I have had some concerns over the wireless camera related to the power. The camera works with the computer but the battery only lasts maybe 45 minutes of so on a full charge. When I plug in the camera (using the supplied usb cord) into my iphone charger, the red light only stays on for about 30 minutes...

Wireless Camera Not Working

Hello, My wireless camera was working for the past 2 days since I got the kit and now all that shows up is black. It says it is connected but no image shows on the screen. I suspected it was faulty because of weird charging behavior. The camera is fully charged and still I am getting no image. The blue light is on. Any idea?

Servo Makes Buzzing Sound When Under Load

Hello, I have a small arm on my robot and when it extends outward the servo makes a slight buzzing sound from the weight of the arm. Is this bad for the servo?

ARC And Autonomous Robots

Hello All! I recently ordered my EZ-B Complete Kit and cant wait to receive it. One of my main interests is writing various programs for the robot so it can act on its own (autonomous) without me having to control its every move. I just want a clarification on how you do this with ARC? Is this done with scripts? Something like this:...

Camera Tracking Question

Hello, I am having an issue with the Camera tracking. The x axis tracking works correctly but the y axis is reversed. When tracking a color and the color moves down the camera head moves up. In the settings though when I click inverse direction for the y axis, it causes the servo to go haywire, literally just jumps all over the place. Any idea?

Machine Learning Coursera Class, Matlab, And Ez-B Platform

Hello All, So I have been taking a course through Coursera.com called Machine Learning from Andrew NG at Stanford University. In the course he says a fast way to prototype machine learning algorithms is to use Matlab. So I read about other connecting the EZ-B with Matlab and think its great to see it is possible. Think of how amazing it would be to...
