Uart Baud Rate Speed

I'm not really up to speed on Uart ports and how fast to expect them to pass info back and fourth. I'm sending and receiving to a Kangaroo X2 at 9600 baud and when I ask for postion feedback the response seems a little slow. Can I raise the baud rate and speed this up? Can I even do this?

Mpu9150 And Ezsdk In C#

I am trying to use the 4 in 1 sensor from the ezb and get the information in C# through the use of the SDK. I had hopes that there would be a sample project for this sensor but I couldn't find one. I know you have to first initialize the sensor. Does anyone know the command to initialize the sensor? I assume once it initialized, I will be able to...

Pixy Vision Sensor

Accessing Engenius Eap350 With More Then One Ezb

On the advice of fellow members of this forum I bought an EnGenius EAP350 a while back. The thinking was to give my EZB an access point with a stronger signal to access then my network's wireless router. It worked like a charm. Here's my question; I now have 3 EZB's in my robot and have noticed that only one is using the EnGenius EAP350 as an...

Digital Pins Not Working

All the digital pins on one of my 3 EZB V4's stopped working. I rebooted and reset the unit and still can't get the 3 volts at any of the digital pins when I try to turn them on through ARC. I probably burned something up on the EZB but was wondering what type of mishap would cause them all to stop responding? I'm a little leary to just swap out...
