Robot Building Questions

Rotate Camera Input

Is it possible to rotate the camera input feed by 180 degrees? The camera circuit board will fit better on my robots face if it can be mounted upside down.

Iphone 6 And Ipad 2

I have the Galapagos bot and I have loaded the iPhone app, when I use the iPhone app everything connects to the robot but the control all go crazy and the diamond arrow controller does not work. When I use the iPad 2 with iOS 7 the app works better. The bot will walk but only if I go to the controller tab. All the tabs respond correctly. But on the...

Ez-Face Recognition Questions With Multiple Cameras

@JustinRatliff In a previous thread you mentioned that EZ-Face would need to be retrained when a camera is replaced. If my development project goes as planned, I will have several humanoid heads interacting with multiple persons, not necessarily paired up the same way, from day-to-day. So, my plan is, in a few months, to investigate the algorithm...

Evangelist Team Feedback

Say, DJ, as a member of the evangelist team, I would like some (candid) feedback on how I can improve my postings in support of EZ-Robot. I have a thick skin, so if you have a chance to review my evangelistic postings, I'd like to know how I can improve to offer better support

New Balance Battery Charger Vs. The Blue Charger

I received my JD robot kit about 1.5 weeks ago and it came with the blue battery charger. Today I got an email directing me to new info on the batter charger lesson. On the lesson it talks about the new balance charger and refers to mine as the "deprecated blue ez-robot charger". The word "deprecated" obviously got my attention...

Can I Put A Ez-B V3 On My Roboquad Or A Different Microprocessor?

I have a old WowWee Roboquad that I really want to mod. I was wondering if I can put a EZ-B V4 on it and flash a EZ-B V3 firmware to if? And if i can't is there a different microprocessor like an Arduino or something that I could flash a EZ-B V3 firmware to? Please help.

Script Manager

I have been through the tutorial on using the Script Manager module a few times now but still don't understand how to get existing scripts into it. The video just glosses over that and goes so fast when it shows that being done I can't really see what's going on. I've also searched the forum for answers but none of the posts seem to address that...

Ssc-32 Servo Control Via Script

Someone on the forum contacted me via email and wanted a sample script of how to control the Lynxmotion ssc-32 servo board via a script.... I am posting it here in case anyone else might be interested... FYI ... ARC now has an SSC-32 control which is also supported in the auto-positioner.... #This is an example of controlling servos on the ssc-32...

New Roli Wired Per Instructions But Forward And Backward Are Reversed In Control

I have a new roli. This one for prototyping at work. When I added movement controls in the ARC, forward it backward and backward is forward. What is wrong?

Programming Architecture

I have yet to buy my first one and am curious about the programming model. I can't tell if you write programs that run on the device, or run on a host that talks to the device, or both. And I'm not sure what the platform is. It looks like a lot more powerful than an Arduino (which is slow and low memory), but I saw some post that made me think...
