@Nomad... you should answer Rich's question.... You said the servos are new... but....

  1. Have you actually tested them to make sure they work properly?
  2. What brand are they? Digital or analog?
  3. What are their power rating?
  4. Can you open a new ARC project without the servos? Brand new project with no controls added yet?

  1. How did you check the fuse? It's a self resetting fuse on the EZ-B!
  2. What did you test the servos using?
  3. How did you calibrate them? Calibrate them to what exactly? Your video shows no arms on the robot...
  4. Are the servos connected to the EZ-B correctly?

If the battery is draining it's being used. If it's draining rapidly it's being used more. Check for any shorts, any other devices which may be draining it. If in doubt put your multimeter inline between the battery Vcc and the EZ-B Vcc and check the current draw while everything is idle.

@Nomad... Rich is not talking about the 20amp main fuse in the ezb base... Mine did the same thing... had 6 servos lock up until the 14A (Resettable) Polyfuse (not the 20amp fuse in the ezb base) must have tripped. The ezb would not respond to any servo movement commands until I powered off the ezb for a while and let the poly fuse reset itself...

My guess is those new servos of yours are drawing too much power (either faulty or driving too big of a load) and causing the poly fuse to trip...

i use rechargebles batt eneloop AA today the ezb is not chowing up ,not even whit the radar surh. i got mail from my intenet provider they disconnect something, about a tunneling.dont know what that is. do you have any idea why the calli fine tune not show up first like normal?

The scan tool will only work if your ezb4 is in Client mode (green LED on the ezb). If it is in WP (Blue LED) you'll need to locate your ezb in your wifi list...

It's not ARC causing the problem, that's for sure....

Nomad, how many more times do I need to tell you that the servo profile is not always requested when you open a project? Your project does not require a servo profile therefore it does not ask for one.

AA batteries are likely to be under powered for driving large servos. Use a LiPo battery.

If the EZ-B isn't showing up then it's not on the same network as your PC is on. Connect to the same network. If it's client mode you will need to reset the EZ-B, log in to the admin pages and set up client mode again. If it's in AP mode then you shouldn't need to scan for it.

Your ISP and anything they do will not affect your EZ-B or your LAN, they can only affect your WAN. Your WAN is not important when looking at the EZ-B and PC connection.
