I have an older V4 camera that I got when V4 Revolution started shipping (years and years ago. LOL) and do see a few differences. Mostly only text printing on the little boards though. DJ did...

Servo Rotation

Does anyone have any code they could share that would turn a servo from side to side. I need it to move the servo from position 50 to position 80 and back again not exceeding those positions but I cant seem to figure out the logic to make it happen. Any examples?

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...

New V4 Camera Fuzzy Image Compared To The Old V4 Camera?

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 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. I connected the wires incorrectly to begin with so that when I told the tracks to move forward they actually went backwards. I then reversed the wires and backward and forward commands worked correctly, but now...
