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!
In the first video when you gave it power you did not have the 3.5 mm barrel jac where the power goes into you had a different part. I also want to use a battery simmer to yours so I need that part on my v4 instead of the existing jac that comes with the v4. Can you please tell me how you changed the jac to what you have now
Mohamed.r, look at post 19.
basic info and hacks
Jeremie, Thanks for the reminder. Don't think I'll ever be able to remember that...

Alan, That's one of the reasons I make them. There's certain details that can only be learned personally... or at least be shown by another.
Movie Maker, Really it is. Windows 7 is very similar. Same tasks but different layout.(I think I recall you having windows 7)
Just to add, here's a text/image based tutorial I knocked up shortly after getting my EZ-B for anyone who likes to print and read tutorials.
Nice work on the videos though Technopro.
Rich, I was going to do a text based one, but I found people better learn visually.
Depends on the person. I prefer to read well written documentation or tutorials over videos, but a lot of people are just the opposite. (I also absolutely hate podcasts. Would much rather read than listen, mostly because I can read 5x faster than anyone can talk).
Good to have options, which is what makes this community so great. Lots of people willing to provide information in different ways.
Alan
I always prefer text/image based so they can be printed and kept along with any datasheets and other design info for the robot plus they are easier to take portions of and offer as guidance to anyone asking questions in the forums.
Also, by writing it out I find that there is usually a lot more, and clearer information. For example, on my L298n tutorial there is no way anyone would be able to accurately explain the truth table in a video but in the text based tutorial it's all there, nice and clear and easy to follow.
Not to mention, it's difficult to listen to some tutorials if some people have strong accents, talk too fast, too slow or mumble etc. and, at least for me, I've always got some kind of music on the go too which makes it hard to hear videos.
Having both options is always a good idea, there are pros and cons to each and you will never satisfy 100% of people 100% of the time
as a non programmer i only understand pictures and some text. i almost never speak englich so when i do it sound not good, i have a really heavy voice. thank you for doing this.many has a desire to have a robot, but not averyone has the possebility to go to college or study. or just hasn it in there fingers to become a programmer. but the desire always stays
thanks
