I was configuring a project last night and at one point the camera in the brookstone rover quit being read in the ARC panel. Previously I had it chasing a ball,etc and it worked fine. I double checked the camera with the IPAD and it works fine. I have changed batteries in the rover and rebooted my PC, etc. The ARC panel is setup for brookstone rover, but all I get is a black screen.
I boot the s/w in this order...
- make sure I am connected via bluetooth to the ez B
- connect wireless to the brookstone rover
- boot the ez B software
- connect to the ez B
- open the brookstone rover Movement Panel and connect
- open the camera panel and change to brookstone rover
At this point, the camera feedback stays black.
I am at a loss as to why its not connecting. Help!
I develop the software on 64 bit windows. I'm using the rover again yesterday with no trouble. Perhaps there is wifi inference or a third party application affecting it. Also ensure you have the latest ARC
I so I installed ARC again in a virtual machine and it works Windows 7 so I guess I will just use it there for now. Not sure why it would not show the video in the regular OS since it works with webcams etc.. just not with the rover
i have my working perfect in windows xp pro,i see there are some problems others are having with WINDOWS 7 i started a project called MY ROVER project,stopped awhile on it.for parts but also want badle to get my omnibot project made
glad to hear you solved the problem!
There are no known issues with Windows 7, as it is the recommended OS to be supported. @RobotMaker is providing inaccurate information, please dismiss his response. The only platform dependent feature within the ARC application is the Speech Recognition.
DJ i dont thats very fair,i didnt say windows 7 has problems with EZB ,i only said that others are having problems with windows 7 ,doesnt meen its on this forum
Okay good to know. I read your response in regards to ARC having issues with windows 7. Thanks for the clarification.
most of problem people have in windows 7,and not talking about people in EZ FORUM ,is where to place the files,there is 32 bit windows 7 and 64 bit windows 7 and have different folders is use then windows xp pro only one folder ,like one main folder is called the WOW folder and another folder is called something else I NEVER use windows 7 with EZB so dont know if any problems if any there is
i like mostly WINDOWS XP PRO for a lot of reasons ,mostly found out it faster,but to compare it to WINDOWS 7 you need the same cpu ,same memory ,same 32 bit software now on windows 64 bits it a lot faster there are tweaks you can do to windows 7 or xp pro to make it faster,mostly setting resources i have windows 7 used at home for programming ,and another one for video
