Hey guys, Something very strange is happening over here...I just cannot create a new project. Once I go to file/new/new project and add a servo I cannot use this newly created servo! I can center it once or move it once, but then it stops responding!
The EZ-B still works a is connected to the Wifi
I installed the latest version of ARC
If I open an old project it all works normal, I can also add new servos to other ports and delete existing ones and address freshly created servo movement panels to those same ports without any problem!
So I can use ARC, no big deal...I just have to open old projects, delete all the stuff that I do not need and it all works fine.
But it kind of bugs me...has anyone ever experienced something like this before? confused
Okay! Keep me updated
Have a good night!
Hey DJ, please check the latest logfile...
Plain EZ-B, no servos attached,
I reset the EZ-B, (so it will be in default AP mode) I open up the default JD scene, Connect the EZ-B
When I do this it drops out of the connection and the red led is on a steady red!
Any ideas on how to solve this? confused
Is there any other way to test the scenario... you mentioned an i2c communication error, there is no i2c device attached but I could plug in something like the 18 RGB LED Block?
Strange! eek
Do you have a 2nd ezb? If so does this happen using the 2nd unit?
I had a similar problem with a project and it was because I was initializing an I2C device and did not have one connected.
Just the opposite. You need to make sure your project does not have any I2C devices defined if you don't have one connected.
However, since you are saying you are starting with a brand new project and just adding a servo, that seems unlikely.
I see you attached working projects to your post. Can you post a non-working project?

Hey guys, thanks a lot for the input and being with me on solving this! Also good to know that I am not the only one the ever experienced a problem like this!
While I wanted to put a non working scene together for @thetechguru the magic happened...I can create new servo movement panels without the EZ-B going numb all of the sudden! The only thing I did differently other than all those times before is that instead of going to file/new and created a new project, I just clicked project/add to create a new servo Movement Panel and all of the sudden it works again! This might be something that could give a hint on debugging this? In the end I am just very happy that things work again...whichever Black Magic was used to get it going and to whomever I own my soul now!
The problem of opening the native JD scene still persists, but I am not sure if it is a bug...I try to open the scene with just the EZ-B hooked, bare and stripped as god created it! So this could be the problem? Does this happen to any of you guys if you are trying to do this?
Man am I glad that everything works again!
The JD project tries to initialize JDs eyes, which are i2c when you connect to the EZ-B, and so will lock up a bare EZ-B. There is a JD no eyes, or similarly named version that doesn't have the eyes object and so won't lock up.
