@mitchmen, we are not responsible for the bluetooth configuration of your computer. Do not be upset at us for your computer. You re-installed bluetooth and it works - be happy, not angry.

Second, if the sharp IR does not work, is it connected correctly? Is the EZ-B being disconnected from the computer? Are you receiving an error?

You will need to take a deep breath and provide more information so we can help you.

with the v12 firmware, the IR radar worked very well for me. after the Firmware update v15.2 no functional

again a bluetooth error?

Sharp Collision works very good Sharp IR Radar looks bad confused

Does it work on another ADC port? I tested it just now and works great. Maybe your ADC port is damaged from a short?

Hi Mitchmen14

Not a good idea to grip the EZB with the Robot Arm (as your pic shows) on the Bluetooth reciever it has delicate electronics and you may have damaged it??

The last time I got a reading like that it was a bad connector. When checking the voltage with a VOM it read low. Changed it out and tadaa!

okay so on the laptop I get the same results and I have the plug replaced I tested ADC 0-4 and 7, but unfortunately without success Perhaps the sensor is defective thanks for the help

@mitchmen14 when you disconnect the sensor, and add a regular ADC control, do you see any values change while you touch your finger lightly on the Signal line of the ADC header on the EZ-B?

Also, putting a jumper between Signal and +5 on the ADC should show you a value. That will test your port to see if it is functional
