I made a few How-to videos showing people how to connect the ez-b v4 in both Ap mode, and in client mode. This first video shows how to connect for the first time in AP Mode.
AP mode: The ez-b gives of its own Wi-Fi connection(hotspot) and is connected to the computer directly.
AP Mode is the mode the ez-b first starts on. You have to connect to it in AP mode before you can switch to Client Mode.
AP Mode:
Client Mode: The ez-b connects to a Wi-Fi network(router) and is connected to through the network.
Client Mode has to be set to use. You do this through the ez-b's Wi-Fi configuration page.
Client Mode:
Hope this helps anyone who needed it!
really helpfull video's.thank you
Thanks for the friendly responses! It's satisfying to see how I can help people.
Very cool videos, but just wanted to verify something. Since the EZB V4 now uses Wifi, does it connect directly to the PC or does it always only connect up via a Wifi router? I'm just wondering how the wireless connection is maintained between EZB and a PC if I was to mount the pc on board the robot and was to run the robot outside nowhere near a wifi router.
@RoboHappy, you could accomplish that type of connection by using the Ad-hoc mode where the EZ-B(4) IS the WiFi router.
Robohappy, the ez-b defaults to ap Mode, which is where the ez-b is the router essentially.
Hey @TechnoPro,
Thanks again for the tutorial videos, in addition to our own videos, I'm quite certain they will be a great help to a number of people as the more information that's out there the better!
A couple quick additions for those enjoying these videos: the EZ-B Power shell comes with a 2.1mm Barrel jack and the webpage that comes up when a person is connected to the EZ-B's network and types 192.168.1.1 into their browser (or selects the chrome-like icon in ARC) is called a Web server.
I have to admit that when I first saw you were posting these tutorials I thought "what's the point, EZ-Robot already made fine connection tutorials", but now that I watched them, you added several touches that I learned something (like it will take a long time to connect in AP mode, which makes sense since there is no internet access and Windows will take a while to determine that, but not something I thought of or that everyone will know).
Good work.
Alan
OK, it looks simple enough.
