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
you won't be able to connect the IR LED to the EZ-B. Infrared (or any light transfer) uses a carrier frequency, not just simple on/off like a digital electrical circuit. It's a lot of reading, but this is a good source: http://www.rockabilly.net/infrared/IR-PWM.shtml
It sounds as if we need to get into the guts of the RoboQuad - in your case.
The RoboQuad that I use has an infrared receiver and decoder built in. It monitors a specific carrier frequency for data and converts it into electrical pulses.
For your RoboQuad, that circuit is seperate than the IR receiver. The IR receiver, in your case is not an entire unit - instead just a receiver. We'll need to get into the body and find out which wire it is. I wonder if I can find one of the models that you have.
Would you be willing to send it to me? I could make a tutorial video and send it back.
D.J. Thank you for your offer, I would like very much to send it to you to see if you can figure it out. Where should I send it, again thanks. Also did you get my video camera I sent to you as I was instructed to do by Alan at the Calgary office. Thanks, Steve
I just arrived in Calgary and see your camera here. I'll check it out today
You can send it to the same address as instructed by Alan for the camera - I'll be here for a while
Thanks D.J., I will put it in the mail tomorrow. Steve
Hi DJ. I am just checking to see if you received my RoboQuad? I am not in a hurry I just want to make sure it got to you. Thanks, Steve
I was told there is a package waiting for me - I'll be picking it up today or tomorrow
Sweet, IM interested in this outcome.
Hi DJ, just checking to see if you were able to take a look at the RoboQuad?
