Maxsonar

EZ-B V4/2 Too Slow In Wifi Client Mode

Hello, I've successfully connected to my EZ-B in Ad Hoc WiFi mode and configured it to connect to my home WiFi network.  It boots up and tells me it's connected and has a green flashing light.  In the ARC app, I can scan and see it's address (192.168.1.63 in my case).  When I try to connect to it, in ARC, the connection fails due to the operation...

Interacting With The JD Robot Via Flashcards And/Or Objects

Would anyone have suggestions on how best way to go about interacting with the JD robot via flashcards and/or objects? The aim would be for the user to give some sort of meaningful visual response that JD can interpret and process. QR codes are nice but they can be quite large particularly if the robot is further away. The only way I can think of...
