Firmware Update Question

i have successfully connected my ez robot via bluetooth. everything checks out fine and the com port is working perfect. Everything is working, yet the firmware update will not recognize the robot. It's very frustrating and I've watched all the tutorials and gone through EVERY discusion. This is the message that shows up. P.S. I've tried it on different computers of different brands and still had the same results.

Hi All,

I am very new to EZ-robot and I think I am having a similar problem:

(1) I have connected the blue tooth and I see the red and blue lights blinking (2) When I checked the blue to device it said that I am on comm 8 (3) when I run the ezbot calibration I get the following error:

Received: Disconnected Comm Err: Not Connected BbytesToExpect: 0

Received: Disconnected Comm Err: Not Connected BbytesToExpect: 0

(4) Any suggestions to what I may be doing wrong or how I should troubleshoot?

Thanks!

I have checked the firmware upgrade as well and this is the message I received. So I don't think it is a firmware issue.

I have noticed that when I load servo-calibrate, I receive this message: Is this what I supposed to see?

Received Disconnected TCP Server stopped TCP Server stopped TCP Server stopped TCP Server stopped TCP Server stopped

Thanks in advance for any advice you anyone is able to provide.

Biometric, that always pops up when I open a project. that really isn't anything.

#13  

I can confirm the TCP server stop happens every time for me as well. It's not the root of your problems.

TCP server stopped is correct, unless you have the TCP server running (which it is not by default).

See the other topic for my recommendations.:)
