After realizing that wall-e was being neglected I decided to pull him out. I realized that I had an alternative battery so I unscrewed the battery pack from the adapter and screwed in the new pack. I plugged it in and...
It didn't turn on...
I played with the wiring.
Nothing...
I switched back to the original pack.
Still nothing.
I thought it might be an adapter problem. So I took my dads multi meter and discovered...
I don't know how to use a multi meter.
I turned the multimeter off and then inserted the probes into the jack on the adapter and found arcing. It was making sparks as current travelled through the multimeter.
This tells me that the adapter is getting current. So now I'm wondering that maybe my ez-b is pooched? Its not getting hot and nothing is abnormal on the board, so im left wondering.
How to perform a test to see the problem?
How to use a multimeter.
EDIT: I did the first part of the ez-b diagnostic check and it checked out. Now i'm at the part where it should plug in and flash the lights and it doesn't.
Part 2 shows that theres .01-.03v going through the ez-b. It sits at 0 when not touching.
If you had the power input wiring reversed to start with then you surly have blown something in the board. Perhaps the regulator. If you have reversed the wireing and tried to power the board again then you have done damage. I remember several people doing this on the EZB and causing damage. I could be wrong but EZB doesnt seem to have reverse voltage protection.
No the V3 doesn't have reverse polarity protection and it will cause the regulator to blow.
Check the voltage at the regulators and report what voltages you have. This is something which has been discussed recently a few times that I'm aware of (Pravnav and Mel had regulator problems).
I believe the centre pin is ground (check this with other members, posts and even staff before you do it, I am not 100% sure myself and don't want you blowing anything that was OK before hand).
Also, another thing to look at is the GREEN power connector. I got one in the mail and it was dead. There was voltage going in,but none coming out of it. I had to throw it away and buy another.
Black to black, red to red; all is well go ahead.
Red to black, black to red; a puff of smoke, the board is dead.
The battery has the polarities reversed compared to the connecter.
AKA red from battery was red but went to black on the connecting wire.
There was no puff of smoke. How do I test the regulators?
@Technopro All we need to know is if the + pos battery power went to the + pos input on the EZB board and the - negative battery lead went to the - neg on the EZB board... Looks like if you reverse these you kill the ezb board (as others have stated)... Use the multimeter to see the output voltage at the regulators... Set the multimeter to read DC voltage...
How do I test the regulators?
It's mentioned at least twice above how to test the regulators.
Use your multimeter, on DC and measure between the pins of the regulator. I believe the centre pin is ground so between that and each pin either side on both regulators. Or use the main ground where the battery connects.
I'm not being funny and hope you don't take offence to this but if you are asking these questions I highly suggest you learn how to carry out basic functions with a multimeter before probing your EZ-B. There are literally hundreds of videos on youtube which explain it all in detail. There are text tutorials, I even linked you to a very comprehensive Spark Fun tutorial.
To minimise the risk of further damage to your EZ-B you really need to know the basics of using a multimeter. I would also recommend finding the datasheet on the regulators used on the EZ-B, there are at least two different topics which cover the regulators in the last month or so, one by Mel here and another by Pravnav.
