Bluetooth Range

Hi DJSures, I have ordered EZB and eagerly waiting for it. I am planning on creating something like your Omnibot. Since you have been using it extensively could you please give me an idea of the range of Bluetooth communication? i.e. how far does the Omnibot goes before losing comm with the laptop. I am assuming Omnibot is an indoor bot where it...

PC?

Converting C# To VB

is the VB implementation as "complete" as the C# implementation? For instance, the following is a line in C#: _ezb.ADC.GetADCValue(ADC.ADCEnum.ADC_0);. I can not find a VB equivalent, all I find for VB is: EZ_B.ADC.ADCPortEnum EZ_B.ADC.Equals and EZ_B.ADC.ReferenceEquals How do I get the ADC value? jms

At work we are setting up a video conference...
