I'm sorry you didn't get a response from your email. Are you downloading the library from www.pitsco.com/prizm/TETRIX-PRIZM-Robotics-Controller#downloads? I tested the TETRIX PRIZM Arduino Library Download Now button, and it worked correctly. Your browser settings can affect your downloads. Have you tried right clicking on the Download Now button and selecting Save Link As...? If this still doesn't work, please email pitscoed@pitsco.com with your request, and I'll email you the ZIP file.

There are many factors that can affect a build, so please email support@pitsco.com with the details you mentioned here. Support will probably have more questions for you, so it might take a few emails back and forth to gain enough information to give you any suggestions.

Thanks for contacting us! We're sorry you’re experiencing difficulty with the EV3 Blocks in this particular instance. If you’re currently using the new EV3 module for TETRIX® PRIME (which makes these systems completely compatible), the instructions in the video won't work. If you’re using the products featured in the video, unfortunately, this webinar is a little older and we no long carry this HiTechnic product as a controller for EV3 and TETRIX. As such, we cannot replicate this error, which limits our ability to troubleshoot. But we want to do our best to help. Can you email us with more information about this error at pitscoed@pitsco.com? If you’re interested in alternatives at some point, you might consider the EV3 module we mentioned, or we have the PULSE™ and PRIZM® robotics controllers, and the TETRIX MAX DC Motor (or Servo) Expansion Controller.

useing PRIZM

You can program PRIZM via Arduino (IDE) software. All the available Resources and Downloads can be found at www.pitsco.com/TETRIX-PRIZM-Robotics-Controller, including the programming guide and the software download. Let us know if there's anything else we can do to help.:)

We're currently working on updating info for TETRIX and EV3 connectivity, and will post it soon!

We have a video showing the gamepad setup with our controller at czcams.com/video/VxvaUgfNoFQ/video.html. Hope that helps.:)

He probably 3D printed it. It looks custom just like the rest of the robot

We have more videos coming your way!

Thanks for asking Mike. We did some searching, but couldn't identify what servo you're using for sure. If you provide a VEX part number, we can be more specific, but in general, any off the shelf 3-wire standard servo motor can connect to PRIZM®.

That piece is the aluminum servo shaft to 4.7 mm steel D-shaft axle adapter that's included in the TETRIX MAX Standard Servo Mounting Kit (www.tetrixrobotics.com/TETRIX-MAX-Standard-Servo-Mounting-Kit). It's a specialty servo horn that connects the axle directly to the servo.

I passed your question to one of our robot specialist and asked him to email you.

Which motor? We have a few.:) If it's a TETRIX® MAC DC Motor, they are rated at 12 volts. PRIME is a six volt system.

Sorry for the delay in replying. We didn't receive notification for this comment from CZcams. Have you already contacted us another way or are you still needing help? Are you referring to the TETRIX PRIME Arduino Hardware Kit? If so, we do have some downloadable resources at www.tetrixrobotics.com/TETRIX-PRIME-Arduino-Hardware-kit. If you're in the US and there is something else you're looking for, please call 800-358-4983. Otherwise, a reseller in your area can be found at www.tetrixrobotics.com/Support/?art=8075.

The key is to use the correct sized, #1, Phillips screwdriver. This will make it much easier to remove. If the screw head is stripped, please take a look at this troubleshooting video, video.tetrixrobotics.com/default.aspx?vID=623&gID=47.

Glad we could help.:)

before you go, i have a question. Am i allowed to use arduino?

Please refer to wro2017.org/advancedCategory.html for the official rules. Or there is contact info to reach WRO at www.wroboto.org/about-wro/contact-us.

Thank you so much for the assistance

You're welcome. Good luck at the competition!

Nicely done Carol! Thanks for sharing. Do you have any tips for others?

I will soon be posting my code on Github with the path finding behavior and the arms will move slowly back and forth as it rolls forward to simulate walking. When the robot sees an open path the arm on that side rises up and points the way. It is a very simple form of behavior but makes the robot look almost sentient! Right now I am trying to simulate multitasking on the Arduino to make the arms move while the robot rolls forward.

Keep us posted. We're interested to see your results!

Glad this video was helpful:) I asked our TETRIX team about the stepper motor, and they said there is a good explanation at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor. Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help!

+Gabriel Mellace - Thanks for contacting us! Your rack and pinion slide should have come with an instruction card that noted other components not included, and the socket head cap screws that can be used (6-32x5/16, and 6-32x1/2). These screws can be found at www.tetrixrobotics.com/Socket_Head_Cap_Screws. We have other hardware that can be used to connect your parts at www.tetrixrobotics.com/Fasteners_and_Hardware/TETRIX_MAX. If the selection is confusing, please visit www.tetrixrobotics.com/Support/ for support options.

+Max Joos I'd like to pass on this request and see what we can do to help. Can you please email me at socialmedia@pitsco.com, so we can contact you if we need more information? Also, please try the link again that was unavailable, it should work for you now:)

+Max Joos "EV3 Workshop bot” is what we refer to it as, but it doesn’t have an official name yet. Check back at www.TETRIXrobotics.com/builds periodically, we're looking at  adding this bot in the future under an official name.
