Why Won't Rolli Follow The Arrows On The Controller?

Why Won't Rolli follow the arrows or obey the controller? When you press the arrows on the controller, Rolli will go forward or backward while slightly turning. Then when you press the up arrow he will roll forward a bit then make a clink sound like something broke. I have checked his battery but there's no signs of damage. ARC is not working on my...

Any One Used A Stabilizing Cap On Ezb?

I'm trouble shooting an issue I have, and wanted to see if there is any benifit to adding a stabilizing cap to the EZB?! I have a mix and match of servo types and voltages.

Can A Single Fisher Price Motor Be Controlled With An Ez B?

I am very new to EZ Robot. I have an EZ Robot kit. I'd like to hack an old toy a Fisher price ride on car that is powered by a single motor. I think 6 v. Would I need an Hbridge for this? If so which one? Or is there another way to connect and control this motor? I'm considering taking the handle bars off and glue/screw a servo to the steering...

Jd Robot Servo Failures

Having received a JD Humanoid Robot (in U.K, via RobotShop, Paris, France) in August 2017 I have had two complete servo failures and I am suspicious of the design of other servos in this JD. Both the Left Ankle and the Left Knee servo failed, by "jittering" backwards & forward uncontrollably. Obviously JD could not stand up with this...

4-1 Sensor Noise

Hi Everyone, I am attempting to use the 4-1 Sensor in my Roli project. The 4-1 like all similar sensors I am familiar with outputs a lot of noise. I am using a script that gets multiple samples and then averages the results. This cuts down the erratic nature of the data but degrades the ability to sense a deviation in the process. Any help here?...

Speech Recognition Database

I tried to get an answer to this question in the past but I think I never clarified what I wanted to do properly. I will try to explain with a simple example. 1. There are 10 objects or faces programed to be recognized by a camera. (a specific variable) One face is recognized. (x variable) This opens a specific database so the speech recognition...
