Dj Another Good Question About Sonars

is there a way to adjust the offset on sonars in EZB ,like i can do easy in LEAF project most sonars start at 3 inches,so if you are 1 foot from the robot it reads 9 inches so it needs a offset of +3 inches,same goes with mounting a camera in the center of 12 inch disk it will be off by 3 inches,center is 6 inches -3 inch = -3 inch offset it will...

Yet Another Question 4-D.J. Or Anyone Else That Knows

OK, I haven't actually hooked my EZ-board up to any of my robots yet. But, I am curious about something. Ok, so we have told our robot Exactly what we want it to do. We have all of these windows up now all over the screen. How do we actually run the Entire group of programs? Do we have to hit start in all of the windows individually? or do we have...

Sendserial Command Not Working

Hi, I am trying to have the EZ-B send commands to my Roomba. I have tried the Roomba Control in ARC. I have also tried using the SendSerial Command via the script console. In fact, I see no output at all from something like SendSerial(DX,115200,"hello") I can command my roomba via a serial cable, so I know that this is not on the roomba...

Ez-B Input Voltage Range?

I can't find this information on the site. DJ Sures, what is the acceptable input voltage range for the EZ-B? I'd love to run it off a gel cell. I noticed that there are 4 and 6 cell AA battery holders shipped with the EZ-B so I assume the voltage is regulated onboard. Can it handle 12V input? Thanks!

Greetings Fellow Robot Builders

Just a quick intro - my name is William and I'm eagerly awaiting my ez-b kit. I have a couple of robot projects in the works that I want to incorporate the ez-b into. Up until now I've been using some Phidgets and Sabertooth motor controllers, tied together with custom code and Roborealm. I think ez-b should make this whole process a lot, well,...

Ez-Mini

Hey DJ, I've got a cool idea assuming the IC on the EZ-B is a Pic18F97j60: Could i design a EZ-Mini that uses the SMD version of the IC? If you could provide me with the schematic (don't need the PIC code) i could design a example. What do you think?
