Buttons Not Working In The ARC Gui

In the course he says a fast way to prototype machine learning algorithms is to use Matlab. So I read about other connecting the EZ-B with Matlab and think it's great to see it is possible.

Keyboard Control Questions.

Hey everybody, I have my cameras pan and tilt servos set to be controlled by 'w,a,s,d' and I have 'x' set to a "snap to" position and then return to the previous position on release of the 'x' key.

Creating A Complete Application For Ez-Robot

I am trying to learn to program EZ-Robot (https://synthiam.com/shop/) using VB.NET. I have downloaded the SDK, but the examples it included didn't really look like they did much, and the SDK documentation (https://synthiam.com/SDK/) didn't seem very helpful. I would like to see a complete example that includes input from several of the servos as...

Open House Party On Youtube Idea(Dj!)

Dj, may I suggest for the people who can't make it that you post a live video stream on YouTube. You can using the google hangout trick. That will allow us to hear and see fairly fluently. The live stream cameras don't have audio and lag a fair bit. Set up a webcam and start a live stream on YouTube!
