ARC And Autonomous Robots

Hello All! I recently ordered my EZ-B Complete Kit and can't wait to receive it. One of my main interests is writing various programs for the robot so it can act on it's own (autonomous) without me having to control it's every move. I just want a clarification on how you do this with ARC? Is this done with scripts? Something like this:...

Modified Servo Positioning

After looking over the vast amount of Forum threads on modified servo positioning it seems that good ole resistance pots are very popular. I am using many modified servos with DIY gears with my project and would really like a good easy positioning fix. Has anyone tried using "hall effect" solutions? Cheap! Small!.....I am thinking of...

Camera Tracking Question

Hello, I am having an issue with the Camera tracking. The x axis tracking works correctly but the y axis is reversed. When tracking a color and the color moves down the camera head moves up. In the settings though when I click inverse direction for the y axis, it causes the servo to go haywire, literally just jumps all over the place. Any idea?

Can ARC Receive Sensor Feedback From A Roomba

My big robot project is set aside for the summer while I'm on my summer hobby of tractors. So for a rainy day small project I have a Roomba 560 I'm going to put the EZ-B on, but I was wondering if I can get the EZ-B to see the output of the sensors of the roomba?

Horizontal Servo Centering Bug

I only just opened my EZ-Robot Package tonight, but it seems the centering button on the horizontal servo control is not working correctly. I think the center position should be the maximum value minus the minimum divided by two then added to the min. OR, CENTER = (MAX-MIN)/2+MIN It appears to be simply (MAX-MIN)/2. For example if you set the MAX...
