Has Anyone Ever Hacked A Furby With Ez-Robot?

I've always been interested in hacking a furby, 1998-2013, has anyone ever done this? if so, how?

Automatic Load And Unload Scripts

@DJSures As my projects get larger I am thinking it would be easier if I could automatically close one project file and load another from within a EZ-Script. We can already auto start a script at application start-up but could this functionality be extended to load and execute a preselected project from within a script? My thinking is this... While...

What Kind Of Other Wall-E Robots May I Use?

Hi guys, I'm Çhåøs. (short for Çhåøtìç_Røbøtïx) and I was just wondering what other wall-e robotic toys could be used to make the wall-e autonomous robot using your delightful and EZ kit. I see you guys used the "U-command Wall-E" but finding that on my budget is being difficult. Are there any other wall-e robots I can use? Thanks!

Gyro Sensor

Has anyone used a gyro with the EZ-B? If so, does one work better than the other? I'm looking at either, the NXT gyro sensor from https://www.hitechnic.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=NGY1044 or the triple axis from https://www.trossenrobotics.com/p/Triple-Axis-Digital-Output-Gyro-ITG-3200.aspx Any ideas are appreciated

Digital On Off Timing Control Signal Delay

Can any one answer why when I connect the D2 5V to the D2 Signal the read digital control turns green indicating an on position. I immediately break the connection disconnecting the D2 5V and D2 Signal and the control stays green/on for an unknown period(approx 18 seconds) of time then goes red? Interval is set to 100 milliseconds... Why doesn't it...

Ultrasonic Displaying 20 Or 255?

I was using the ultrasonic sensor provided with the kit (HC-SR04) and all was working fine. The sensor only displays 20 now I have power cycled the ez-b, restarted the software, and checked the wiring. Looks like there was a single strand coming off the Ground pin going to the Echo pin. Would this cause the sensor to break?

Scrolling Glitch

I still have the scroll glitch that has been moving around that hides half of my project.
