Have you tried upgrading? That error message is from a very old version. Usually when that message appears it is due to a loss of power. Or, it is from radio interference with the EZ-B. Those are the only two reasons for that message.

I would suggest upgrading to the most recent ARC first.

Thanks man!, While downloading the newer version, I did some reading through the boards and was wondering if it was a power problem. I have only had the EZB for a few months and figured I had the updated version of the software. I downloaded a slightly newer one. The same thing happens but this time instead of the previous error message I got a report saying something along the lines of the EZB needs more power. I really don't want to have to keep replacing 6 AA's every day, Can you or someone else suggest a power pack?. I am not very electrically minded and do not want to burn out the board. I will be doing a search as I am sure this has been answered before, but in case I can't find it I would be very grateful if someone could tell me what voltage the board runs off. I am sure I have a power supply somewhere that will work. Thanks.

The EZ-B can run on anything from 5v to 17v, most common voltages are 6v, 7.4v and 12v.

Ooops, didn't see this post, but I added a bit of info to @familyman's other post here.

I use a 7.2v 2800mah battery....tons of power

also just noticed the new EZB used a Deans power connector.....that's awesome.

And there's a LiPo battery in the store too

@ Familyman - Awesome , looks like you got some great answers. Do you mind marking this thread as answered? This way we can clean out some of the unanswered threads. Thanks in advance! - Josh

sorry man, I totally forgot to do that. Doing it now.
