ARC Client Connection Question

Hi,

I'm having trouble talking to my JD in client mode. When I power him up he says "connected to network" When I connect through my browser I can connect and the buttons work When I connect in ARC I get

"Attempting connection on 192.168.0.10:23 Connected to 192.168.0.10:23 Reports EZB v4 OS With Comm 1 EZ-B v4 ID: 31-50-0-0-46-255-61-57-59-37-37-38 Setting battery monitor voltage: 7 Setting battery protection: True Setting i2c rate: 100000 Connected"

But that's as far as it goes. I can't do anything with JD, nothing works, Auto Position, RGB animator, I can even get a connection to the camera.

I've disabled my Virus software, rebooted everything, laptop, router EZ-B but still nothing

Am I missing something?

Try the JD no animator project (that may not be its name, but it is similar). If the RGB animator (or any other I2C device) cable is not plugged in fully, or there is anything wrong with the device or cable, it will lock up the EZ-B when the software tries to talk to it.

Thanks for the reply but still nothing.

Tried the cables but still nothing. If i connect in Ad hoc mode everything works fine, but nothing works in client mode

If I try to run 'init' I get

Error on line 9: Not connected to EZ_B 0

Oh. If it works in adhoc, not the i2c issue.

You are using the connection 0 slot in the connection object (top slot)?

I was connecting using slot 1, swapped to slot 0 and now everything works.

Thanks for that

I have been troubleshooting telephone and computer systems and networks for 25 years. I learned early to always start from the beginning to cover the basics before getting into the complex possibilities.

I don't always remember to do it, but often enough.
