ESP32 Tank Track AI Control

Hello, I have an ESP32 running tank tracks and a waist swivel, but I'm having trouble getting the autonomous AI to control them. Can anyone help?

ADC Skill Resource Usage Inquiry

I understand that constantly running the ADC Robot Skill in an ARC project, especially when assigned to an EZB ADC port, can consume significant resources. Additionally, increasing the polling frequency for an EZB ADC port further intensifies resource usage. However, I'm curious, if this same ADC Robot Skill is installed and assigned to an EZB...

Arduino Firmware Modifications For OV3660

Hello , what modifications to the Arduino firmware are necessary to utilize the OV3660 camera in place of the OV2640 camera? I haven't attempted this change on my own, as I believe you might have the answer since the OV3660 camera is employed in the ESP32 Cam EZ-B firmware. This inquiry specifically pertains to the ESP32 Cam UART Firmware and is...

Iotiny LED Blinking Issue

I have an IoTiny that begins with a fast, continuous blue blinking LED and does not display the initial aqua blue color. Additionally, there is no startup sound, and the reset button seems unresponsive. The power supply has been verified as stable, and I also connected another IoTiny with the same power supply, which functioned normally. Therefore,...

DSSERVO 3225 Servo Compatibility Inquiry

Hi @Athena, I am curious about the compatibility of a 25 kg DSSERVO 3225 digital servo, which operates at 4.8 to 6.8 volts DC, with my EZBv4. Additionally, I'm considering placing a 10F capacitor between the positive and negative wires. Would this assist or interfere with the servo's operation when using the EZBv4? Thank you, Jack

ARC Event Notification Capabilities

Does ARC have the capability to notify me when a specific event occurs, such as sending a text message, an email through Gmail, or a Facebook Messenger notification? For instance, I currently have a script in ARC that runs in a loop every 30 seconds to check its connection to the EZ-Robot EZ-B controllers. It would be beneficial if ARC could notify...

Managing Servo Commands Without TCP Server

How can I manage ports that exceed 23 using ARC @Athena? My ESP module currently supports ports higher than 23 with the integration of two PCA9685 PWM controllers, each controlling a set of servos. All connected ports have servos attached. My aim is to creatively utilize existing ARC skills and script commands to facilitate communication with the...

Troubleshooting Rovers IR Sensor Issue

Hi @Athena, I need some assistance troubleshooting an issue I've encountered with my robot. The setup involves a rover powered by four stepper motors, each controlled by a motor driver board connected to an Arduino Mega 2560. The Arduino handles motor control using PWM, while an EZ-B v4 is tasked with executing scripts to synchronize an IR sensor...

UART Communication Between EZ-B And Arduino

Hi @Athena, I am seeking assistance for a project where I need to establish UART communication between an EZ-Robot EZ-B v4 controller and an Arduino Mega 2560. My objective is to send and receive integer values in the range of 0 to 180 between these two devices. On the EZ-B v4 side, I will be utilizing JavaScript within the Synthiam ARC...

Troubleshooting EZ-Robot HDD Servo Issue

@Jeremie, @DJ, I am encountering an issue with an EZ-Robot HDD Servo in my robot and am seeking some advice. Although I realize this is a part manufactured by EZ-Robot, I'm aware that @Jeremie designed these servos and has invested years in improving their quality and performance. I'm hopeful you might have some insights into what is happening with...
