Back in Dec, 1024 I received an EZB that worked for about 4 hours, then it stopped talking on boot up and would not connect to Wifi.
I just bought another one and it has done the same thing? This is very frustrating, not only does it cost me 20.00 to ship back, it stops my projects. *confused* *stress*
Has anyone else had this issue?
Check and double check and document everything. The more we know about your project as you go , the more helpful we can be. Waiting till there is a problem requires us to ask probing questions and reconstruct what may have happened in reverse. I have done tech support for 8 years and what I find is 90 percent of the time a customer makes a small error setting up they don't realize it up until after the point of trouble shooting.
It is a tough lesson to learn but
1. Documentation as you build
2. Pictures of every change
3. Wiring schematics before you make your first connection will help you figure things out on paper and save your ezb's life!
Using my ezb for 4 hours checking each servo before I do the final fit and connecting the servo(s) then power up the board each time the same way, I guess I am just dumb and don't know what I am doing. I my not know scripting as good as most on this board. I know when I make an error and will admit to that error.
I did not overload, connect it wrong, backwards,ect!
Thanks for the tips to an idiot!
At this point does the unit power on with nothing connected and try to connect (plays the chimes)? Have you attempted to reset the unit and connect in ap mode?
I was wondering if you could check 2 things:
1. Please check the servo you were using for testing maybe with a servo tester or something equivalent to see is the servo itself might be causing the issues.
2. Please try replacing your green and black 2.1mm barrel plug, if you are in a high current situation (over 6 servos) those connectors cannot handle the current and can brownout your circuit.
What plans do you have for the second inMoov? Anything special build wise?
If the battery is only 6 volts it may be dropping below the "low voltage" threshold and browning out , even with a small load.
I tested the same battery and servo on my other ezb 4 and my ezb 3 and everything works.
I get no red light and no chime on the ezb 4.
Hello, I will try to explian. When this happened ro rma my new one just two days ago iI was opening a servo take out the pot put the servo togther coonnect. That servo to the ezb plug the battery in on the ezb then test the servo to set the pot. Disconnect power to the ezb then disconnect the servo.
fix my servo in my part of my robot amd start again with a new servo. Dd the same proecc over to test the servo on the robot. I never had more then one servo connected to the ezb. So unpluging and repowering the ezb over 4 hours.
Again I do not need a diagram to test a servo with the pot out and only one servo is connect to the ezb.
At this point I am opening a warranty.
Thanks

No red light and no chime means that unfortunately the ARM chip on the ez-bv4 main board is damaged. These are the same symptoms as the previous board from you that we have examined here at ezrobot HQ. @Aislinn should be able to give you some resolution tomorrow via a direct email.
all of you guys and gals are always helpful on this board. I just took it personal and shouldn't have.
Thanks
PS... And there is no need to apologise we understand your frustration...

your explanations and using words can much better.
