Also does it run scripts in an automated fashion. I do have a few tablets but before I break them open I need to know if they are suitable to automated tasks rather...

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...

Ez-Robot Has Become A Great Sucess
Hello D.J. EZ-Robot has really grown since I was a member/user back in the beginning. You deserve the success my friend. I've been extremely busy with my Paranormal Investigation Team (Ghost Quest) and it has delayed my return to the fold. I'm ready to incorporate robotics into the team. I saw (somewhere) that you may be buying back some of the...
