The problem is you have selected "Brookstone Rover v1" as the camera, this is incorrect.

The camera, as Richard said, uses the IP of the EZ-B. In your case it needs to be 192.168.1.1 which is what it should be by default anyway.

Change the camera to 192.168.1.1 (you may need to type it in manually) and you will find it works. If the camera is already started (as your screenshot indicates) you will need to stop it.

Alternately, you could just open the example Roli project, the camera is set up and saved for the default IP address and it should work without any modification (i.e. it should work out of the box).

I'd just like to point out, saying 'dude' in a threatening way and instantly assuming it's a problem on EZ-Robot's end is not going to help anyone. Explain your problem and someone will help you, no need to get nasty:D

but, as rich and richard r said, you have to use the EZ-B's camera, not the rover's camera. It'll be listed as EZB//192.168.1.1 if the camera is working and should show up in the camera drop down. Make sure everything is plugged in snug and you should see a steady blue light in the corner of the camera shell itself when its on as well.

@Sudo, I think @DN was reacting to Richard calling him dude and suggesting he wanted everything for free. Sounds like he was a little insulted and upset by Richards statement. I don't really blame DN's reaction. People who don't come around these parts often don't know that Richard is harmless, means well and does lots of good. He just get's that way from time to time. First impressions are hard to shake and understand when you don't know and love someone like we do with our Richard. ;)

@DN, hope this doesn't keep you from coming back. We really do like to help lost souls. Follow Rich's suggestion about manually typing in the IP address and I but you'll connect just fine. If not please come back for more help. :)

@DN Looking at your screen shot.. You will need to hit the STOP button next to the camera to activate the drop down. Then, before hitting dropdown, hit the refresh button. Then when you hit dropdown it should look similar to the screenshot below. It will include any web cam on your computer, Brookstone Rover, AR Drone, and should have a listing for EZB://192.168.1.1

If your Roli is in client mode, you can change the EZB entry to the IP address of your Roli, or just type a new entry.

Sorry everyone, I didn't mean to be offensive. Dave has described perfectly what I was thinking so I'll leave it at that.

I'm an older guy & when someone calls me 'dude', I immediately picture him as Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and find it difficult to value his suggestions. So Richard, sorry, not your fault.

Also to Richard and others, I probably mislead most of you by latching on to this thread about the Brookstone Rover. I assumed that it was the camera I got from EZ-Robot. Now I know it is not and I understand your suggestions since you probably thought I bought it from a third party & was trying to get it to work with ezb.

I think in trying to get the camera to work, I tried a number of things, one of them was setting the device to Brookstone Rover v1 (in the beginning I could change the device). I was using the Roli Example file, making changes and saving the example. Not the best plan.

So what happened? Once I saved the example with the camera set for Brookstone Rover, I could not change it. And I guess I wasn't clear enough, but the text box for the device was Read-Only. I couldn't type into it, it didn't offer a drop down list, nothing. Clicking the Start/Stop and Refresh buttons, closing the Builder and restarting it didn't help. This added fuel to my belief that the Rover was the only camera supported and it couldn't be changed. I was also pretty sure that I had the WiFi connection working since all the servos were working, doing the dances, etc.

Solution? I saw that there was a new build (12/20) so I downloaded it. Now the camera device can be changed. I tried saving it with both the Rover selected and the ezb camera. I tried to repeat the problem but couldn't. So my only conclusions are that there was a bug in the Builder(12/19) that got fixed in 12/20 or that somehow I found a sequence of settings that caused the camera device to be stuck at the Rover setting.

I'm charging my battery & will try the camera in the morning.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and I appreciate that you are all spending your time trying to help me and others.

Best regards, Dennis

"Dude" must mean something different in Canada, because I don't know anyone who would get offended by it... My friends frequently refer to me as dude almost like a second name... Unfortunately you can't convey tone in posts.... In my post, I had no tone... If anything I was shooting for ironic.... Either way if you took my comment as a "shot" at you I can honestly say no malice was indented so I apologise if you felt there was....

Just so you understand I am the type of person who is not easily offended so I assume other people are them same.... Have to stop assuming that....

I'm forever calling people dude...it doesn't mean my help isn't right by any means;)

Glad you sorted it out though however would suggest going through all of the lessons in the Learn section to get to know your robot, your EZB and the software.

@Dave, spot on dude! That rug ties the whole room together.
