Still the same thing.

Is there a way to hook up the ez-b to the PC over sireal cable to the com port just to see if it is the ez-b or Bluetooth?

If you have a comm program like Realterm or Teraterm you can test the connection to the bluetooth that is powered by your EZ-B without using the EZ-B program. Just make sure the bluetooth led is flashing red, attempt a connection and watch for the led to switch to steady green.

I used Realterm and the light on the Bluetooth will stay on. so. any ideas? and thanks the everyone for the help

There is evidently something failing on the EZ-B itself since the bluetooth works. You might try removing the bluetooth then carefully remove the dual inline chip and check for debris between the pins or even bent pins. If nothing is found I'm sure you can get a replacement board.

I hope so. But I will check and see. Thanks... I set a letter to support. Just have to see what they say. I have placed a order for another ez-robot kit. Maybe that would send out a replacement ez-b too. Any one have any more ideas? Or have we hit the end?

You might flip your board over and look for a cold solder joint (poor connection) on one of the pins that the bluetooth plugs into. Looking closely at the Tx Rx pins, maybe use a flashlight and look down into the 4 pin header that the bluetooth plugs into for a damaged connector.

I can't seem to see any. I'll hit every spot with my iron just to make sure.
