question

Servos Vs Motors

I recently gutted my daughters Hot Wheels Barbie chopper. I ended up with two 12 volt motor/gearboxes, wheels and a battery. The gearing is rather tight, as the chopper was designed to haul around a 35-40 lb child. When you speak of servos, is the term "motors" interchangeable with that? Will the EZ Board allow for direct hookup, or will...

Bluetooth Connection Problems

I was testing the EZ-B with my joystick and everything was working brilliantly. I then needed to leave the room and without thinking I removed a battery from the battery pack without disconnecting the EZ-B. When I returned and placed the battery in the battery pack the bluetooth light (which is on top I think) wasn't flashing. I am now unable to...

I'm not entirely sure what each of the 2 wires does, but they are definitely connected to servos. I think they are grounded already. I attempted to connect them in...

Now i powered it up but the Bluetooth module light won't come on, then it finally came on and everything works as normal but the status led doesn't...

Max # Of Servos Without Jitter

I am new to this and I havent my ez-b yet to test it. Ive researched online and discovered that some boards are capable of many servo connections, there is a problem with efficient software routines to prevent jitter due to # of servos and other processes in the programming. I intend to use 14 servos and prob all the DIO. DJ, do you think this will...

This is my first time using ARC. Received the error above when trying to add a wireless joystick to control two modified servos for Wall-e project. I thought I followed exact steps as depicted in joystick tutorial video. ARC recognizes joystick because the various rows highlight in configuration window when I press joystick buttons. When I try to...
