Myo Gesture Armband Discontinued

After reading about DJ using these, it piqued my curiousity so I went looking to see how much they cost, and where to buy. Evidently they ceased production/sales last month. They don't seem to be showing up on eBay (yet); considering they are a niche product I doubt we'll see many come up. I found a similar product: gForce Gesture Armband...

Ezb Rebooting With Tight Timed Loops

I am having problems with my ezb rebooting occasionally. I suspected a brownout, so I replaced my lipo with an industrial 60A power supply running at 7v. It still happens.

I use auto position all the time to accomplish actions when called upon. Auto-Position works like magic. What I want to do is physically take my robot arm and hold it in the position I want and save that position as...
