question

More Servos

I understand the EZ-B allows you to connect up to 24 standard RC servos directly onto the PCB. Is there a way to expand the number of connected standard RC servos to 32 or more?
question

Indoor Navigation ?

Many members are waiting for indoor navigation. Some discussions have been posted about other software which is able to do this, but is a heavy duty learning curve, even though it can interface with the EZB. Dj had been developing a concept to take on this difficult task. Time has gone by and no true navigation system has developed. I am looking...

Ability To Print A Script

Hey DJ, How hard would it be to add in the ability to print out script files created from each program? I am trying to take bits from different script programs to combine into another program ( or being able to cut, copy, and paste from one script file to another would be great). Certainly being able to print a script out to use a reference would...

Parrot Sumo Jumping Integration

There is already an AR Drone component - meant for the flying Parrot drone - but I suspect that the same protocols will with the Sumo drone as well. One small problem: the component appears to be hard coded to look for the drone...
question

Hovis Eco Control

I am thinking of trying to hack a Hovis Eco and control it with an EZB4. The guestion I have is would it be possible to unplug the Ecos IR receiver from its CPUs port and plug in a cable from the EZB4 to take over the IR commands to the Eco. This would let the Eco controller handle servo control, LED control, sensors and movement control. The EZB4...

Ezb V4 Camera Replacement

Hi I found a secondhand ezb v4 kit on ebay, user had problems with the camera. I got it very cheap. The ezb works great but the camera doesnt. The Arm chip gets to hot to touch and theres no Picture. It also raises current draw from around 180 mAh to 900mAh when plugged in to the ezb. So the camera is broken and its out of stock here in the store....
