Voice Recognition

Hi, I'm using the voice recognition control and it is working quite well. I do a lot of presentations and show this feature often. Just before moving on to another control, I pause the VR (checkbox) but for reasons unknown the setting does not hold. I works initially. While I'm presenting, the robot responds to my voice and performs actions (sit,...

Wiimote Question

Hi, I ordered a WiiMote Motion Plus and found out after the fact that it is incompatible with ARC. This is stated in the tutorial. Is there a work-around? From what I see on Amazon all of the WiiMotes are Motion Plus except for a couple of used ones. Tom

Stopping An Action

Hi, This is a basic scripting question. I figured out how to do QR code tracking. It's pretty straight forward. I entered a word into the QR code generator and then created a script to speak the word in the Camera config. Then I figured out that a QR code could also trigger an action: Format Code 1: ControlCommand("Auto Position",...

Continuously Running Servos

Hi, I have two different projects where Roli is set to respond to the color red. One file works perfectly well. When I load the other, Roli's right servos start running immediately - no red ball visible anywhere. I deselected color tracking but the tread still runs. It's obviously getting a signal from somewhere but the settings between the two...

Defective Servo?

Hi, I have Six and it was working perfectly until just recently. One of the servos doesn't seem to be getting a signal or isn't responding. It was on port D1 so I swapped it for the servo on port D4. No luck. I opened it up to see if there was an obvious issue. All of the wires are soldered to the board. Any suggestions?

Can't Download Andriod App

Hi, I'm a newbie... I'm having trouble downloading the Android version of ARC from the EZ Robot website. I'm getting a message on my tablet that says "For security, your tablet is set to block installation of apps obtained from unknown sources." There's a "Settings" button just below the message which I would assume leads you to...

Wifi Connection Question

Hi, I just got my Six robot and assembled it. I can't get it to connect to my PC. I've been through the tutorials. Here's the basic info: EZ-B v4 0684 is showing up in my list of available networks. I can connect to it but there's an exclamation point over the signal strength icon. I've been through the tutorial and have followed the instructions....

3D Printing Question

Hi, I wanted to know if anyone has has experience printing EZ bits. I downloaded the STL files. I found that they require supports. Then of course, you have to remove the supports. This leaves a messy surface. Without supports my Replicator 2 (using PLA) just spews filament out. I have leveled the build plate. Has anyone had experience with this?...

New To Robotics

Hi, I'm new to robotics and have an EZ robot on order. It won't ship for a few weeks so in the meantime I figured I would learn to use the EB software. I get the basic idea from watching the tutorials online. Is there a better way to get a head start? Any advice would be appreciated. On another note, I am especially interested in educational...
