Ezb V4 And Roboquad

There are too many hardware revisions of the toy robots that you mentioned. Wowwee toy robots were not standardized and the pcb, protocols, and wiring schematics of those toys changed numerous times throughout their lifetime. This made supporting those robots absolutely impossible - due to the lack of documentation of hardware revisions.

Your posts are responded too every time you bring this subject up - as much as you're upset that those toys are no longer supported, you must accept that it is entirely impossible as the reasons stated above, on their respective pages on this site, and in my previous responses.

If you modify this arduino sketch and use an arduino IR board, connecting it to the ezb's UART to receive commands will simulate the robosapien remote control and send the data over IR, rather than trying to emulate the signal like I was originally attempting to do with the v3.

DJ, Thanks for replying. My roboquad worked great with the v3. It seems you could offer the same code you had before "as is" with no guarantee to users.

I applaud all you've done. It's truly amazing.

If I connect an arduino as you mentioned how would I get the ARC to recognize that a roboquad is on the other end?

I've got a robo quad that works with ARC I'll sell you for 30 usd. It's pre-wired, per the tutorial.

I have one too that works great with EZB V3. But it does not work with V4.

If you still have this and can part with it...I'll take it? Just let me know...

Wish it worked with EZ-B 4....sigh.

This ability to connect to wowee toys was discontinued with the ezb v3 five years ago in 2012. There is no information available regarding ezrobot and woweee that claims support.
