To tech support the ezb4 controller voice is not on only I see a blinking light what can I do?
A couple of things to check first...
1) Is the battery that is powering the EZ-B fully charged? If the battery voltage is too low, it won't speak.
2) Can you connect the EZ-B to ARC (solid blue, or solid green LED will be seen depending on what WiFi mode you're in when it's connected)? If it does connect, do you hear anything, such as an audio tone?
3) If the above two points have been ruled out (Battery is fully charged, and the EZ-B is connected the ARC), then click on the the link I have provided below, as it may be of help to you...
No sound from EZ-B
and a link to a detailed and excellent tutorial about connecting and using the EZ-B v4...
EZ-B v4 tutorial
If you are unable to connect your EZ-B to ARC on your PC, and you are hearing no noise whatsoever, it could be that the main processor could be faulty. I would suggest to use the "Contact Us" link and make a warrenty claim. When you are writing out the warrenty claim, make a reference to this this thread. But answer my questions first before you do.
It might be worth your while completing more of the tutorials in the learn section, as from your profile, I see that you have only completed one lesson for the mobile app. I highly advise you read and mark these lessons as they will help you out a lot with your EZ-Robot products.
EDIT:
Below is the link to the other thread I was talking about...
EZ-B v4 broken. Please help.
Circuits (pcbs) are fragile with incorrect electrical current configuration. Let us know the electrical schematic so we can identify the cause of how the controller was damaged and help prevent it from happening again.
Can you explain what "wire" you mean? I'm not sure what you mean by this.
The only thing you have ever connected to your EZ-B is the camera a JD head, and nothing else? And you still haven't answered the question on what power source you are using to power the EZ-B?
Is it a battery?
What type is it, (LiPo, Nimh, ect)?
What voltage is it?
Are you using a power adapter?
What type of adapter?
These are quite an important questions for you to answer to help us help you.
You say that you are a future robotics student in another thread. If this is the case, then you need to learn to offer much more information and details when trying to troubleshoot problems and answering questions, otherwise you will
struggle to learn what you need. Like @Richard said, you are not very forth coming with information which is making it hard to help you.
What voltage is the class 2 giving the EZ-B?
How many amps is the class 2 power supply supplying to the EZ-B?
Output 9vdc 800mA
I know, and fair point. I just didn't want him running out and getting something that will only last a few minutes before recharging. A 1000mah pack is pretty cheap and should get a reasonable run time.
EDIT: And I see your point now. I added too many zeros. Should have read 1000 and not 10.000 mah. Oops. *blush*
