Microphone Connection Question

Hello. I am making a Wall-e similar to DJ Sures, the only problem is, the microphone is not working. Everytime I try talking to it, it says something about: [delay]. If I go to the speech recognition window in ARC, there is a button that says I can setup my microphone. It says that there is none on the EZB v4, so I had to connect to the one on my...

I just received 4 of the new V4 one piece cameras... To be honest the image is way fuzzy and dark compared to the old camera... I have adjusted the focus on all 4 of them but the image is no where near the quality of the old V4 camera.... Did I just get the prototype batch or is there something I am missing? I can't really complain much as I did...

Wiring For Roli

I got my Roli a few days ago and right track didn't work. I pulled apart the body and found the 2 wires for the track were not connected.

Biggest misconceptions/diffences: (I'll update this list as we go.) 1. Ez-b does not get programmed, everything is done in ARC 2. The ez-b is not a micro controller, it is a robot controller, sort of like a...

Ez Hud / Plug In Question For Dj Or/And James Graham Hu

DJ, So the EZ Hud display is moving along and I'm moving into the ARC control of the HUD and my brain is going in all different directions. I think I might need a little guidance here. So there will be at least 15-20 control commands for setting values of the various HUD charts and graphics. The HUD plugin is very monolithic, being that it has a...

Telepresence

I have been building robots for a long time, PIC, Basic stamp, Arduino and even the Evolution Robotics ER1. And Always wanted to build a good robot that i could drive across my house and interact with my wife and kid while I'm on businesstrips. So my suggestion to DJ is like this. Maybe some kind of webserver inside of ARC. Then you or your friends...
