Servo Resolution Of Movement Question

@DJ_Sures I know that you can send a fractional degree to a servo via the Servo() instruction, for example 60.379. But, does the servo really move to 60.379 degrees or is the actual movement rounded down to 60? If it does move to a fractional degree, what is the resolution to which it can be set? Thanks.

Store Credit

All of the EZ-Robot purchases made for my were by my GF who set up an account to order my Roli kit last Christmas. So, I've had no transactions with this account. I was on the shop page the other day and notice I have some store credit. I'm just wondering how and how long I have to use it? Thanks

I've connected the controller, set it on D Input and Windows is seeing it fine. I'm using a modified Roli plan and added a joystick as shown in DJ's tutorial video. As I understand it, Joystick one should...

Any News For Indoor Navigation?

I opened a new discussion named "floor maps, what's for ?". I was asking what I might do with that control, but nobody replied . I thought it might help to perform autonomous indoor navigation. I saw many old (3 years) community discussions asking for the same issue, but floor maps could't help, and there was no ezb solution for that. Dj...
