I'm new to EZ and have built other projects, mainly Arduino based. I was finally able to add the device and update the firmware on com 6. When I try to connect to com 6 in the EZ builder the red led stays lit and after a few moments it goes back to blinking and the message "could not connect to the EZ-B" and offers to send me to a tutorial. Fresh batteries, windows 7 home, service pack 1. What to do confused Any and all help would be welcomed as I can't even get started.
I got the following diagnostic after I tried to connect "Received: Disconnected Connection Failed: System.Exception: Controller Not Responding at EZ_B.EZB.Connect(String hostname, String tcpPassword, Int32 baudRate) Disconnected" does that help? UncleMike
Hello and welcome, Someone may have a better answer but, I'll offer my $.02.
What version of the dot net (.net) framework do you have installed? Try updating it. Let us know how it goes. Someone will get you up and running if that isn't it. I just know that was one of the issues I had at one point. Hope it helps
Disconnect the power and reconnect right before you try to connect to ARC. The ezb has a brief window it can connect. Depending on your computer you may try a few times. Usually after the initial connection things are smoother from there. Second be sure to use Microsoft native Bluetooth stack.
@jstarne1 Would he have been able to update the firmware if he wasn't using the MS BT stack?
He could. I was able to using Asus drivers but not connect to ezb.
Thanks for the info J
You say fresh batteries, have you tried another set of fresh batteries or better yet a different power source?
What is plugged in to the EZ-B (if anything)?
From the description it's connecting but near immediately dropping the connection. I had this happen on one of mine the other day. The solution for me was to remove the power, reboot the PC and try again.
Yes fresh batteries voltage verified. Nothing else plugged in to the EZ-B, @jstarne1 yes tried many restarts with off time vareying from a from sec to many min. @Antron007 not sure which ver. EZ Build ver 2013.07.10. On rebooting this morning I get "Invalid OS version. Please upgrade EZ-B reports v.15.7. Thos copy of ARC requires v16" I have checked for updates and it reports that I have the most recent ver. I will uninstall EZ-Build and do a fresh reinstall. Later Reinstalled ver (2013.07,10) same message.
Check for cold solder points on the board and also check the bluetooth module is firmly connected.
