Hi There DJ sures,
I'd gave myself a present the Wifi module TLG10UA03.
Yesterday it came with the postal
I just configured it gave it my wifi ssid and password and a static ip. Tested it and connected it to the EZ-B.
Powered up the EZ-B and wanted to connect the ARC.
But ehm.... ehm... ohh.
How can I connect
You will have to remove the bluetooth module from the EZ-B and solder the TLG to a 4 pin connector. Make sure you notice the RX and TX on the EZ-B so they match the TLG.
The baud rate should be set for 9600 (which is what the TLG default is i think)
The TLG drivers on your PC will install a virtual COM port. You'll connect to that COM port, and everything should work great
Shoot, call me Dum. now your writing that, i noticed that i installed a bunch of software, including the virtual driver, com 11.
If i only had restarted the ARC i had noticed it. grrr
Problem now is that every time i drive forward the connection gets lost.
i think i need an pudding or a chucky
lol
Brown out!
That's because the wifi adapter must be drawing too much current for the voltage regulator. There are two voltage regulators on the ez-b. One is for the micro and bluetooth, the other is for i/o ... I seperate them so the i/o can't brownout the micro. When using many servos, there can be crazy nonsense if using the same regulator.
You can monitor the i/o voltage by putting a jumper on an ADC port between Signal and +5 ... That will show you the i/o voltage when you log the ADC voltage.
I suspect you'll need more power for the wifi than the 5 aa batteries. You can probably get away with continueing to use the micro/bluetooth regulator if your battery source has enough amperage.
I'd suggest a 6 volt 4 amp battery if you have enough room.
If not, look into lithium or poly batteries.
hi, is there a Tutorial on how to do this.
Hi again Leory
I thought Pabi!o had put a schematic up. I guess not. If you disconnect the bluetooth module from the EZ-B, it will expose the communication header. The communication header is what the bluetooth module is currently connected to. You can remove the bluetooth module slowly and carefully, because it is tacked on with double sided tape. Do not pull on the antenna back part or you'll chance damaging the module. Grab it from the sides and slowly rock it back and forth, or use a small flathead screw driver and carefully seperate it from the IC.
Once you have the bluetooth module removed, you can see the communication header. that's the 4 pin female plug that the bluetooth module was plugged in.
The pins are labelled +5, Gnd, RX, TX.
You will connect the TLG10UA03 to the appropiate pins on the communication header.
TLG10UA03 TX connects to EZ-B RX TLG10UA03 RX connects to EZ-B TX TLG10UA03 Power connects to EZ-B +5 TLG10UA03 Gnd connects to EZ-B GND
Then next is configuring the device with its software. I'm not sure what speed it was tested with. I assume it was 9600. It may have also been 115,200. I would try 9600 first.
You'll need the virtual COM driver installed
ohh idd forgot it.
But you said it right.
The only thing you have to take in mind is that, if you use a wireless cam the range isn't the same as the wifi
The range is probably better than wifi, or as good. The wireless 2.4ghz cam is awesome for range
Alright I've been trying to configure the Wifi so I can use it with the EZ-B
I have yet to be able to connect to the TLG10UA03 just to set it up with the specified WIFI settings from my router, following the instruction from elechouse and the manual. It installs the virtual com port but the device is never found. I've gone through all my settings and rechecked I am stumped as to whats not going on, I'd hope it wouldn't be the card.
Using the manual I have the USB/TTL connected to the WIFI modula as such: USB/TTL.........WIFI GND>>>>>>>>Gnd(pin8) RXD>>>>>>>>TXD(pin7) TXD>>>>>>>>RXD(pin6) VDD>>>>>>>>3.3V(pin5)
While power is connected to the Wifi card LED3 is light/blinking for wireless transfer signal and LED1 is light which is RTS signal.
Manual
Any ideas, I've tryed every baud rate?
