Hi, I just got the RoboQuad from ebay and I started to follow the video on connecting the EZ-B to it, but when I opened the head it looks different then the video. The board says G7303-3A. Can someone help in wiring it up? steve3624
Just for the record wowee has three different builds of the roboquad , they changed slightly after they came out with red sharper image and grey/ green discovery kids store roboquad the white ones being produced in the same runs had slight differences.
Thanks jstarne1, I didn't know that. steve3624
DJ, the blue wire that you cut, where did it go? to the ir sensor? Thanks,

Steve, i'd like to help you diagnose. Did you try connecting the EZ-B white signal wire to the TX or Receiver wire?
DJ, I didn't try that, but I will. Thanks, steve3624
Well I disconnected the wire called receive coming from the ir receiver and connected the signal wire from the EZ-B and the ground wire to the ground on the robot board, but it didn't work. I get pulses coming from the EZ-B signal wire when I push the arrow keys, but the robot won't respond, except for the normal start up routine. Any suggestions? Thanks Steve
I just tried connecting the signal wire from the EZ-B to the TX connection on the robot, but again didn't work...... Steve
I have a question about the RoboQuad example. In the control for using the arrow keys to move the roboquad I see the pulses are going low from 5v. Can they be made to go high ? I am trying to use the output from the EZ-B to drive an IR LED and mount that LED on the IR receiver of the roboquad, but the IR LED flashes "off" instead of flashing "on" to signal the IR receiver on the roboquad. I know I can use a transistor to invert the pulses, but that would be a little more complicated. Thanks, Steve
