I am trying to use my ps3 controller to control my robot. I can get the joystick#1 to move forward/backward and left/right. But when I try to add some buttons everything goes nuts. This what I have set up.
Robot dragon..
Joystick#1 up/down controls head up/down.
Joystick#1 left/right controls head left/right
Then I wanted two buttons to control left and right wings.
I tried the L1 and L2 buttons and then I tried the Square and Circle buttons. They both worked seperatly, but then when I try to move the head and press the buttons all the servos start acting crazy and I get the error message 'Disgard incoming buffer (This should never happen)' and then I lose connection with the EZ board. Any help?
I would suggest upgrading to the most recent ARC first.
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.

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