I2cread Clarification(Rich)

From a different thread, Rich has explained I2C better(for me) Rich explains, When I2CRead is the only command on the script line the syntax is incorrect. The Unknown command is a little misleading since the command is known, its just been used incorrectly. Think of it (and any of the other Get commands) as data than as a command. Similar to if you...

Ez-B Hardwired To Pc?

While Bluetooth is the standard for connecting a PC to the EZ Board and V4 is on the way (WiFi) is it possible to hardwire (USB, etc) for those builders who have room for an onboard PC.
