Control Ubtech Alpha Servos With The Ez-B V4?

Hello, I have a question .

I have these servos in my robot and have now bought the EZ-B V4.

But if it does not get to work, can the Ez b control these servos?

The servos are all connected and the controller only has 1 cable

greetings

hi raullapeira

Do you have any video about this project with the ubt robot?

Hi all guys ! I see that the alpha 1S issue is intriguing many people . I have it  and of  course I'd like to control it by ezb v4.  I need to know more about interfacing its servos. I saw there's a plug-in and some hardware information. I need to know, (I hope somebody in the forum has experienced these matters) :

Hardware : I'm attaching a photo, where 4  3-pin JST plugs can be seen. I think each of them drives  , by 4 independent serial buses, some  of the servos . Which  pins are  +,-, rx/tx pin ? how to connect these 4 buses to ezb ? I saw in the forum a simple scheme, but more detail is needed.

Software: the plug-in I found in this  forum is designed for  such 4-bus hardware , so to control , by ezb, each servo separately ?

I downloaded the plug in. It's an old PC, with win 7, non recent ezb version. I got this error.

Update the ARC.

What's going on?

It looks like the plugin uses a more recent or non existent class/object in an older ARC version.

Keep your ARC updated, is a good recipe to avoid trivial issues.

Is the last ezb release (jan 2019) compatible with win 7 ? if not, I might have a problem with this old PC.

Ptp is correct. In order to add new features, the software continues to grow.

The latest ARC beta will technically run on Windows 7 but it’ll give a warning because it’s not recommended. Windows 7 was discontinued by Microsoft and no longer supported. This means new features of ARC are absolutely impossible to be supported in Windows 7 because Microsoft doesn’t support it.
