Gang,
DHL just delivered my ez-Robot Developer Kit.. after opening the kit and inspecting everything thing seems to look good.. decided to try an connect the power adapter head to the ez-board platform.. "its to Big" it wont fit? the adapter head was in a bad with numbers on it that read "Top LLF001101/botttom 21040809", I'm going to hit a radio shack to pick on up but need to know the spec on it.. can someone help me out.. with the correct size?
That's weird. Can you post a picture of the connector you did get?
You did review Lession 13 Powering the EZ-B v4 ?
Follow the lessons in the learn section.
These cover the developers kit and the EZ-B explaining what each part is, does and what goes where.
Your user info shows no lessons have been marked as complete. It's really a prerequisite if you don't want to have problems or cause any damage.
As Justin has said, post a photo of the problem parts and we can advise you (however I do strongly suggest going through the lessons)
Ok, so went through the training..
I need a "2.1mm Barrel Jack Center" inwhich in the one shipped with my KIT was incorrect.. might want to check with Q.A.
It looks to be the right size to me. What size is the one which was shipped?
It surprises me since it's very difficult (at least I've found it difficult) to get anything but a 2.1mm
That is a 2.1mm barrel jack connector - what is making you think it isn't? You can follow the tutorial here: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Lesson/13

I see what it suppose to be but the Connector wont fit.. I'm not going to try and force it... learned that lesson 30 yrs ago.. if it don't fit, it don't fit.. lol.. off to Radio Shack I go...
Okay! Now we can see - that is indeed the wrong sized connector
Wonder how that happened...
Our engineer just looked and he thinks the barrel jack isn't "wrong" - it is a defective barrel jack. He feels it was a manufacture defective on that particular part.
