Hi I would like to know if it s possible to use app mobile to control ezb from my iphone without using wifi.? I would like to use web browser( app mobile) from my iphone to launch camera. I found a tutorial to do that from my ipad or iphone but the phone have to be connected to the ezb by wifi. Is it possible to do that without using the wifi and use directly the box to access to the ezb. Is it clear? If it s possible, does it exist a tutorial? Christophe
So the EZ-B is working on the network. Is the cell phone on your network via wifi? You should now have the IP address of the robot as it shouldn't change. If you disconnect from the EZ-B on the PC now, and if you cell phone is on the network, you should be able to connect to the robot from the phone using the same IP address that the ARC software on the PC used to connect to the EZ-B.
If this doesn't work, then check your IP address on your phone. It is possible that the phone is getting an IP address that is outside of the normal DHCP scope and that the router isn't allowing traffic to communicate from that ip to the DHCP range of addresses. This would be a very rare situation, but I suppose it is possible.
if you are you using :
then: >Scan
Only works with EZB4 V2 you have an EZBV4 V1.
Right, but he knows the IP address so he should be able to enter it and have it connect without any issue
**EDIT, but good point. The scanner on the phone software only works with the 4 x/2 now. I hadn't realized this because all of my EZ-B's have been upgraded.
if you tried Alan's tip:
you will have a screen like this:
Red: EZB4 (v1) listed as Bluegiga Technologies (wifi v1 chipset maker)
Green: EZB4 (v2) listed as Shangai MXChip (wifi v2 chipset maker)
hi ptp i followed exactly your recommandation and i can see on my iPhone the : generic bluegigatech with 1- IP address 2- mac addres so i retuned on the app mobile on my iPhone without wifi and fill the ip adress and clicked directly on connect.
and... Connection error. unable to connect to ez-b.....
so....i rebboot the ez-b again activate the wifi on my iphone perform fing to see the IP and the line Generic was there but desable.....
So.... i closed all my iPhone app. i rebooted the ezb i perform fing to get the ip address ok ( (bluegiga activate) i performed app mobile on the iPhone i inputed the ip and clicked on connected
and... Connection error. unable to connect to ez-b.....
it's incredible this story.....
looking to your picture: Connected Wifi SSID n/a/ ?
What's the name of your wifi SSID ?
This user has the original EZ-B v4 which does not work with scanning as defined in the Device Discovery window. The original user should upgrade with the newer EZ-B v4/2 Comm Upgrade
