Cognitive Face Question

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there is a way to delete one's face after it has been learned by the Cognitive Face program. The reason is, I was testing it out, getting the hang of it, but during testing it out, I used a test name for my face, because I was just seeing out it works. I then had it Learn my face again with my name. Now it recognize...

Looking For Input For Relays?

I need to find a source for relays that folks have used. I looked up a few of the posts but unsure of a source for tested and working relays from say, Amazon. If anyone is using a relay and can chime in with a particular make and model would be great. I'm using an ezb to turn on and off 12v motors?

JD Robot Occasionally Spasms When Closing ARC Without Disconnecting First

Sometimes, when closing ARC, JD's servos violently spasm and rush towards their limits. However, I noticed this doesn't happen when it's disconnected first before closing. I don't know how to replicate this problem nor do I know why it occurs. Has anyone else seen something similar to this before? Or have any suggestions on how to go about fixing...

Been Out Of The Loop For Years, Have Questions

I've been out of the EZ Robot loop for several years.  Recently, someone followed up on a forum post I made, and it reminded me that I still have one of these things.  It seems that a few things have changed, so I have some questions to get up to speed. 1.
