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. Perhaps there is a way to emulate the Bluetooth connection thru hardwire/software? I know there is a Type2 with a stronger signal but that is only one part of the...

More Robosapian Commands

I think @DJ will have the answer for this question... I want to create more commands for the Robosapian then the 26 listed in the ARC Script Commands. Can the for instance, SendSerial(d1,9600,0x04) be sent to the Robosapians IR connection points ? I understand the clock speed is 1/1200 of a sec and 4/1200 of a sec as per AiboHack-Bonyard.. The IR...

Unintelligent Voice Recognition Response

Tired of yelling at your robot? Getting the silent treatment and dumb stare? Windows VR to my knowledge does not have a verbal that was unintelligent response for garbled/low volume/high volume speak . It does try or guess what we want it to say when accepting dictation or commands but I want something better! With the help of a few cheap parts and...

Adding D Or V Entries Into Port Summary Control

Adding a D10 or V10, the entry is placed in the Port summary list after D1 or V1 as in D0 D1 D10 D11 D2 .....etc same for V entries These entries should/could be listed in order ie D10 following D9 etc I could very well live with this as I know your time is well used for bigger issues. Perhaps one of your...

ARC And Scripting Time Management

As robots become more elaborate mechanically the software must keep up. As the monitoring of sensors, particularly, increases, I would like to know what the experianced robot builders opinions are of how to keep the software from hanging up, bogging down etc What is the most time intensive ARC commands and scripts? Also what time limitation does...

Modified Servo Positioning

After looking over the vast amount of Forum threads on modified servo positioning it seems that good ole resistance pots are very popular. I am using many modified servos with DIY gears with my project and would really like a good easy positioning fix. Has anyone tried using hall effect solutions? Cheap! Small!.....I am thinking of mounting/gluing...

Any one can play who has an inprogress/complete robot speaking, whistling, dancing or...

Adc Sound Wave Vr Script

Greetings Forum, I would like to incorporate an ADC Electret to assist with the windows 7 VR for my talking head FRED. We know that Windows 7 VR is really only good for one person, so it would be nice to differentiate 2 different voices and the robot responds accordingly. Please Guest of Master (DJ Sures) may i have your name and the purpose of...

Multiple Servo Control

I had added the multiple servo control way back prior to Version 2013,01,16 to allow testing of multiple servos, a great addition. I then discovered that the following Versions were not allowing the multiple servo control to load all 14 of my unique saved files! ARC spit out an error window proclaiming it could not load my file because of an issue...

Load Torque Gauge

I think it is really important to know how much load there is moving/pushing something , whether it is a robot head or arm before throwing on a servo. Is there something like a force gauge to test whatever it is your moving before placing a servo? I hate crossing my fingers and tuning for dense smoke! Your thoughts/suggestions greatly appreciated....

Keyboard Control Not Working Until Config

I really like how DJ has provided so many ways to interact with our robots like VR, Camera and keyboard..did I miss any others?...anyways ,I have found that the Keyboard Script with a letter and command will not work after opening your EZBfile until its config and save(without any edits) .Would there be a way to have a Start button to enable it?...

Random Scriptstart Using Ez-Script

The Program Generator does not always functions when the pause is lifted,? After many variations using the interval seconds high low there doesnt seem to be a consistent start of CC(script1,ScriptStart).

Rss Feed Unstopable

It seems an Rss feed is unstopable until it reaches the end. A ScriptStop will try to stop it, but will only lock it up with (highlighted in green) Stopping. I would like to stop the SpeakRSS whenever I wanted rather then wait until it normally ends, with a Script command or an EXEC. Any leads/suggestions would be appreciated! Glen from Salt Spring...
