Ez-B In Wall-E Still Failing.

once again, I have tried to run wall-e and the ez-b turned its light off again, disconnected from my laptop, and sent the servos berserk. How ever, the software did not freeze up this time. this time it failed when I tried to drive forwards. Custom Movement Panel configured to work with him right. I pressed forward, he went backward, and I pressed stop. bam. the ez-b disconnects, and goes berserk.

This is deeply bugging me as I really want to have wall-e up and running again. could we please take a look into this issue? Dj sort of dodged it last time.

Here is the debug:

and if the +5 is reading 0 volts its either a battery or ez-b issue.

VCC should always read 5v when the board is powered up, even if not connected to a PC.

Go through the diagnostics tutorial and check the board out properly before assuming it dead. It's probably best to do that when relaxed and with a clear head.

It appears that the ez-b is not dead. After unplugging everything it powered on fine. I will see if just running it is causing the failure.(not likely) then I will see if one of the servos is causing the glitch. Unfortunaty my other computer is too slow for Bluetooth. We will see if the problem involves just the ez-b tomorrow.
