Speech Commands In Vb
Hi, I tried a few lines of code that go like this: EzB_Connect1.EZB.SpeechSynth.ListenForSpeechCommand(10000) EzB_Connect1.EZB.SpeechSynth.StartListening() and some other try outs, however I don't get very far. The idea is to assign voice commands in a string and/or array. I want the robot to react to voice commands that are prédefined. Any...

Software/Firmware Update Broke My Scripts?
Hey guys, I just updated from v 15.8 to v16 and have a small problem. My Wall-E's scripts for following colour or motion don't work quite right anymore.

Can You Init Roomba From EZ-Script?
Is it possible to click the init button on the Roomba movement panel through a software function? This way, I could just power up the notebook and then the EZB and have it call the start-up script and then do the number to the Roomba so I could control the Roomba without having to hit that button. Everything done in one swift step. Also, I am...

Connection Failures With The Ez-B
I bought an ez-b about 4-5 months back and only used it three to four times the thing is that i used it for a robot and so i used up about 7-8 ports (6 of them were for servos) i realized that i got connection failures for that because i was only using 5 double A batteries so then again tried it with a 6 volt battery and then a nine volt battery,...

An Evening Of Sushi And Sensors...
SO I had a bad Ping sensor in my kit, the guys at EZ-R were having a hell of a time convincing their distributor that it was really bad and were demanding that EZ-R PROVE IT before they would replace it. What a drag (and poor customer support on the Dist.'s side.) In the meantime, Alan (the other 50% of EZ-R) is hanging out in Sunnyvale, CA. Get's...

Twitching Servo
Heya, Today I played around with my robot, and one of the servos started "twitching", and I mean really twitching. It responds when I change its position, but it wont hold it and starts going crazy instead twitching back and forth. I've tried different ports on the EZ-B so I know it's the servo. Is there anything I can do about it, or is...
