question
Arduino Mega Firmware
I downloaded the firmware for the Arduino Mega and unzipped it. I double clicked on the EZ- MEGA - V1 but it did not load into my Arduino IDE. It just asked what app I wanted to open it with. The file I downloaded was dated 10/11/2021. If you have any ideas about what I am doing wrong I would appreciate it?

I would like to read the signal incoming from an RC receiver. How do I do that? Use-case: I drive my robot with radio-control, animations are automatic and controlled by EZ-B. Still want to pass on radio signals to EZ-B to trigger certain animation scripts. How can I read the radio signal I get in the receiver. From a receiver I can steer a servo...

When I connect my Rock PiX to a computer monitor via HDMI, the project loads quickly. The full screen interface appears in about 2 seconds. However, when I connect the Rock PiX to...

I ran across a G Cloud from Logitech which is basically a android 11 tablet with buttons, triggers and joy sticks. Does Synthiam mobile allow you to use built in controller buttons or map them to...

I transferred all of my electronics to a new robot platform and now, none of the servos will move. The PCA9685 board has power, the servo rail on the PCA9685 has...
