I have an ezb4 that has worked fine for a while. I had took the robot apart and then put it back together using the V4 instead of V3.
My problem is: I go to find the ezb in the internet access window. I have reset it many times.
I have to give it a code 1234 to hook up to bluetooth. well, I found that I lost ports for Com3, and Com4. So I added them back. My device shows up, but I have a hard time getting to the part that says are you ready to pair?
If I enter in the correct number, it goes out a trys to pair it, it times out and I have to start all over again.
The green light is on and it continuously blinks. There is no red, or whatever. Just a blinking green light.
I have taken everything apart and now my time has run out. I will be back Tues CST to work on it again. I have the unit hooked to a separate 12vdc battery so it will have plenty of juice. There is a constant blinking green light.
Also, there is no sound at all.
thanks in advance.
I don't understand, are you trying to connect the V4? V4 is wifi not Bluetooth
The EZ-B V4 uses WiFi. It connects to your network over wifi. Your initial connection to the ez-b V4 will be direct using your computer. You will then type in your browser 192.168.1.1.
Go to the client mode tab, and enter the information for your Routers wifi address(if you have a wifi network in your house). Then press connect and the ez-b will try to connect to your router and DISCONNECT from your computer.
If it worked, your ez-b should be green or blue, or both. Then connect your COMPUTER to the routers wifi network and open ARC. go to the connection control, and press the scan button to scan for the EZ-B which will now be on your network. Once found, click it, and press connect. Done.

NO IP shows up in the wifi section.
and NO sound or bootup. Just a flashing Green light.
Dude I don't have any medical condition going on, but I have terrible memory. I make up for it by making notes. I find that writing something over and over again is how I memorize stuff...I remember and understand better when I see myself writing the words in my head. It may work for you. My 2 cents.
scan turns up blank.
I think the firmware has gotten messed up. It has no sound.
About the sound, do make sure your speaker is properly seated in there...it has happened to me, when I opened the case and put it back together the speaker just stopped working. Just make sure the springs on the speaker are touching the leads on the board.
If this work,et us know.
No effect . Same.
then pc
. . . . . . Nope. I don't see the device in the list. same way one the desktop. It used to show up as EZB .....something, something, something.
I believe the wifi part of the V4 has gone bad. Or possibly the firmware. I don't have a proper flasher or image.
OK, cache is cleared. Now what?
I do believe he is correct that the EZ-B WiFi may be broken.
Mel,
Try opening the case, and carefully separate the two boards and push them back together. Sometimes re-seating the boards can help.
I have a firmware flasher if you want to send the board to me for troubleshooting. I think you still have my address. Email me if not.
Alan
i had a problem long time ago,it also didn connect.some one told me to do this,
and he did connect.thats why i ask to try connect with a phone,first steps i believe.
Thanks! Alan, you are such a nice guy. I already took it apart. But, I did not separate the two boards.
If you do send me the board, also send me your router's SSID and password, and I'll pre-configure it to connect to your network so you don't need to go through that again. Only think we may need to do is log into the router to reserve the IP address because if I determine it is the WiFi and not the main processor board, I will send you one of my other EZ-Bs and when EZ-Robot releases the 4.x/2 com board upgrade I'll replace the WiFi board with that.
Alan
That could cause problems connecting to the EZ-B's web page, but would not prevent you from connecting the the WiFi network. Similar problem, but different.
Alan
No, they won't matter.
Alan
Thank You , my friend!
Should be on its way tomorrow.
Alan
See the email I sent you for some information I need to pre-program the EZ-B.
Alan
thanks!
GOD BLESS YOU!
God Bless You! You have Blessed me and YOU have become the Blessing to me.'
:-)
thats service at higest level.
superduo alan&merne then.
Anyway, your contribution was appreciated.
Alan
BuggyEZB is doing fine.
But, my question was not answered. I asked "How do you know it is in the Client mode?
I have two concerns.
a. My Router usually uses 10.0.0.1. But now , it is using 192.168.x.x
b. The EZB4 did not show up in the scan.
But it is hooked up and works.
I was looking for an answer like: Solid Blue = Client mode.
Solid Red = AP mode.
Thank You , richr
One last time... This is not hard and as usual you over analyzing everything... Forget about what your router is doing or not doing...
If your ezb4 is connected through your router you are in "client mode" (Green LED)... if your ezb4 is connected directly to your PC you are in "WP mode" (Blue LED)...
Write this Down and stick it on the wall in front of you..
Flashing blue = WP mode... NOT connected to ARC
Solid blue = WP mode... connected to ARC
Flashing green = Client mode... NOT connected to ARC
Solid green = Client mode... connected to ARC
Sorry man, not trying to be rude here,.... but this has to stop at some point... We keep going around and around here like the movie Ground Hog Day...
client mode on the web page is just under ap mode.
Now I need to get to client mode. I just have to play with it because I know where to change it. I went through the procedure earlier and it did not change from blue. I just need to go over it again.
richr, thanks for your help.
and connect,you will see message conention will be lost but the led goes to green.
blinking.you also hear message am sucsesfull connected to your network.
then op ARC and use the scanner,when connected save in cloud.
Turn on the ebz4 you Will hear a chime and it should be blinking blue. Open up your Wi-Fi icon on your computer you will see the ezb inside there. Click on connect and you should be connected to it now.
wait let's do it this way can you post your email address and I will email you later today with my phone number and I can walk you through on the phone
I will not be back until tomorrow because I have a lot of honeydos to do. I will be back from 4-7 am CST.
My email is yhmmc<at>yahoo,dot<dot>com
Here is my status. I have it all hooked and it is working fine. I can control the EZB from my desktop. It is hooked to the router which is hooked to the net.
The only thing, once it is operational, I want to hook it to my desktop and save the program and then install it on my notebook. Once it is there, I want to control the notebook through Teamviewer or such from my desktop and also hook to the net. But, I want to do it all at the same time. I have done this before. But, I believe in order to do both of them at once, I need to be in Client Mode.
Correct me if I am wrong.
oh, BTW, @nomad, Thanks for trying to help me. I forgot to thank you when I thanked the others.
@merne, so, I am not in a rush. I have to wire all the other stuff up first.
If it is hooked to the router, and you can see it from your desktop, you are already in client mode (I shipped it to you in client mode with your router credentials, so if you didn't hit the reset button, that is how it would have come up - assuming you provided the correct SSID and password).
You don't need to do anything additional except save your project to the notebook and start teamviewer. You can either move the project through file sharing on your network, with a thumb drive, or save it to EZ-Cloud from the desktop and download from EZ-Cloud on the notebook.
Alan
The EZB is working perfect and connecting up automatically. I think I gave it the wrong password and that is why I am not in client mode. But, I have everything but the Hbridge tested. But, I have wired them all up on the robot. So, wish me luck. I will keep you enformed. New Life is brewed into sally.
:-)
great work bolt of you.
