Hey DJ ( or anyone else that may have the answer) I'm having a problem that is driving me crazy!!!!!!

I've tried disabling my built in mic so I can record with just the line in mic; however when I do that I get nothing with the...

Servo Accuracy (70 Positions), More?

With Firmware V13 came "70 Servo Positions (double resolution!)", from DJ's announcement, and this is mentioned on the "Step 7 Standard Servo" tutorial. I would like to ask if the EZ-B can do better than 70 positions? If I use my 12 bit servo, can I get better accuracy in position control? Or with my 10 bit servo? 70 seems like...

Interface To Ez-Robot

I have used Roboduino boards and they have a cable that connects to the USB port to load the IC chip. Why doesn't EZ-Robot allow the same interface? I am now sitting here with a new toy and can't play with it because there is no interface between it and my computer. Now I find I need an "Bluetooth Dongle" and I don't see it listed as an...

Voice Recognition

Hello All- My kids and I have had fun playing around with the EZ-Robot kit. We've built a simple platform that rolls around, uses the video camera and ping sensor, chases the cat, etc. The kids love it, but are frustrated with the Voice Recognition. When I speak to the computer (such as "Robot Stop"), it works fine. However, when my 8...

Test With Meter, Amps Is Your Ez Board Using With No Servos Running

Hi I plan to use every servo just about from seperate power supply. So how much does ezb draw just providing signals , video feed and ultrasonic sensor running? Just looking for averages so I can figure if I can go with a smaller battery. Right now I have three 7ah batterys that happily fit inside the torso if omnibot. They are 12v and current plan...
