Communications Error Ez-B V4/2 Wi-Fi Robot Controller

When my new EZ-B v4/2 Wi-Fi Robot Controller is powered up the on board voice says "Communication Error" over and over, Pushing the reset does not reset the controller. "No Wi-Fi" signal, no connection to router. Anyone else have this problem and fix or should I file a return claim?

It's in the terms of use - however, you can disable it in preferences. If you disable it, ez-robot support cannot assist your issues.

@DJ... It doesn't really bother me... However it is my problem for not reading the "terms of use" thoroughly... Sorry man...

It's not like i can see any personal information. all i see is the ARC log info. So it's errors, connection status stuff, etc... Helps us understand

  1. crashes

  2. bugs

  3. user behavior

Hi,

I am also having the same issue. I bought mine a bout a month ago and it was working fine. Then suddenly, nothing. Plugged in the battery, no LED's. It just says Communication error. Opened it up to check on the connections but nothing. All OK. However, I did notice that the bottom board became very hot, so I quickly removed the battery. I bought my EZB from a reseller in Malaysia and of course I trusted EZB to be more sturdy and reliable so I threw away the receipt. Not sure if I am able to get a replacement now. Just wasted my money.....

The EZ-B has current limiting resistors on all data i/o and a power fuse, making it the most robust of all robot controllers available. Please provide more information, such as what it was connected to. What motors or hbridge or sensors it has been driving, etc.. and someone on here will assist with your circuit.

I connected the Battery to my EZB for power.. 6 x AA battery. 5 x Servos are using external supply.. 4 x AA Battery. Connected wires from the servos are just signal and ground. No other stuff like sensors or camera or anything.

So far, it is just to learn how to use the EZB. Bought this cos I had trouble with MyRobotLab. It shouldn't burn if I connected only the ground and signal, right?
