Adc Ports

Just for your info. This may or may not be a BUG. I tried to hook a sharp IR and a Maxbotix Ultrasound sensors to the EZB 3. Every single time I did that it stopped and had an exception error when I selected the name. I got them somewhat working by just using it as an analog port and not the sharp or Maxbotix.

New Member Intro

Just a quick introduction and 'hello' from Belgium. I have bought the DIY kit last week (it is still in the post) and intend to convert a U-Command Wall-E and make it as autonomous as possible.
