Robot Batteries should not affect ARC. Most probably , issue with the software installation . You need to provide more details about the setup , version . New installation or old one? Any new update before the problem start ? This will help others to help you out .

yep it s weird it make all the servo go beserk and brown out occurs. then ARC freezes. ever since the update on 6/8.

Fixing the problem will most likely be easier then figuring out why it happened. Try uninstalling ARC and framework. The install framework 4.0 and the latest version of ARC. Then connect with ARC to EZB as board 1 but do NOT load your project and open a digital switch panel and toggle it on and off. Check the pin to see if its turning on and off with a led or volt meter. If its turning on and off then ARC.is working.

Step two- load your project and then test , if your problem starts when loading the project I would suggest rebuilding the project newly.

this is what happened to me. check your wiring and make sure the battery is correct. i had 2 batteries fully charged and 4 dead ones in the battery pack and this caused a big problem. plus check to make sure your not plugged into the Gnd port in between d13 and d14. after I did this ARC oddly stopped having issues.

  • wait you said brown out - that means power drops off and connection drops. How do you know it was a brown out? Just asking. Low batteries? I was troubleshooting based on the info the ARC just froze but if your board is disconnecting then the first culprit is low power, dead batteries or otherwise insufficient power supply.

Sounds like a brownout issue, use a better power source.

Yup ...the batteries drain fast when using servos and the EZ-Board...I am thinking the trouble was coincidental when the new version was loaded. there are Tons of good threads here on the Forum regarding separate/better power sources.:)

Yup a new set of batteries and we re good to go again!
