Adding Wifi To One Of My Existing Ez-B'S

Wednesday, 20 February 2013

Good Morning EZ-B Robot Builders !

How much Code would be required to add WiFi to one of my existing EZ-B's ?

I still want to Maintain ALL the ARC Features, other than BlueTooth !

A most reliable friend guided me to the following Modules :

Roving Networks' RN-XV Wi-Fi Module 30025, https://solarbotics.com/product/30025/

SparkFun XBee Explorer Regulated 50828, https://solarbotics.com/product/50828/

Thank You All For The Consulting Services,

Also i am about a hour away from the elechouse company where they make them in china So i guess i can call them for help.

BUT i can also solve anything and WIFI is easy for me.

@robotmaker i get wifi to connect but if my hole program is up ezb locks up until i disconnect ezb(robot) then computer is unlocked.

BUT if i have 2 battery monitors up on ezb it does not lockup pc.

this is the error i get when main program is up

Attempting connection on COM7 Connected to COM7 at 9600 EZ-B reports EZ-B Firmware V25.5 Connected Disgard incoming buffer (This should never happen)

my pc is 10 inch aspire one 1.60ghz 2gb of ram

Firmware v25.5? Current firmware is v16.

I think because you have a slow computer,i have at home a ASUS laptop with 1.6 mhz and 2 gig ram and it did lock up on other programs

I dont have EZB builder installed in it ,but in 7 days to 8 days when i return will try it for you.
