Ez Robot Standard Servos

Hello I have a question about the standard servos in the EZ Robot Kit. I received the replacement servos that were originally bad. I understand that problems happen in every business, no fault here on EZ Robot side, and would just like to say, very impressed with how it was handled. Back to my question ... lol No sense in throwing a servo away so I...

Integrate Ez-B Dlls Into C++/Qt Application ?

Hi, I would like to use Qt, which is C++ based, to write an application for controlling our little robot. Does anyone have any experience, how to integrate the EZ-B .NET DLLs into Qt ? Or is there any other way how to do it (except changing the programming language, because we have a lot of tested/verified modules, which we would like to reuse) ?...

Ping Sensor Pegged At 255

OK, sorry to be such a numb nut here, but things haven't gone quite a smoothly as I had expected. No matter, I'm patient. So board, works, servos now work, however... I wired up the ping sensor, double and triple checked my wiring, however, under ping or radar, I get a pegged signal @ 255. Any ideas?

Suggestion: Add Text Search Box In Script Help Window

I want to suggest adding a text search box at the top right of the Script Help window or add support for Control + F for text search. This will make it a lot easier to find the function you're looking for by entering a search term and press enter, much better than scrolling thru the list if you already know what you want and just need the command...
