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?
Perhaps you accidently connected the SLA battery backward briefly.
@DJ, I am not sure you have time but examine my EZB I sent in for warranty, RMA 20 this is the first one that failed. If I am doing something wrong I would like to know.
Please understand I am not digging your product, I love the EZB Just having issues with 2 now. I have not have any issues before with the EZBV3's or my first 2 EZB V4's and I am not doing anything different now. Just using standard servos.
Thank you.
@DJ. No, because I have the EZ-robot plug, from EZ-robot, connected to the wires + and - on the plug and Neg to Neg (black) on the Battery and I only disconnect the RED wire from the + side of the battery to disconnect the EZB.
Anyway just bummed I have never had an issue before.
Merne, if I may offer build advice. As with any custom project I suggest to well document everything you do , take picture of everything and document and follow your wiring plans , aka "schematic". If you do so we can often find potential problems before you even power your ezb on for the first time.
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
Not to get the ass here, I do document and take pictures of every thing I do.
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!
I don't think anyone is calling you an idiot. It can be frustrating to get advice that does not remedy the issue but on the bright side it narrows down what the issue is and is not.
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?
Hi @merne,
I was wondering if you could check 2 things:
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.
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.
