Asked

I have an ezb v4 that has been on the shelf for several years. (worked when last used). I was on the shelf too so we are both a little dusty so bare with me.
When I set up an I/O port in ez builder for a servo there is no signal present on the signal pins. I have a scope on them. If i go to the diagnostics page of the ezb's web server and hit the "center all servos" button the pins come to life. I think its something simple but ...?

then Sounds like a question for DJ when he shows up again
good luck
1) Did you disable the low voltage monitor? I'm guessing you must have because the "My battery is low" on 6v would have been annoying And the servos won't move at all with power below the threshold
2) What servos are you using at 6v? Depending on the servo, it might not be able to accept 6v and it's behaving strangely
3) Do you have a volt meter to ensure the voltage coming from the power supply is indeed 6v? If not, you can add the EZ-B Info control to see. Check here: https://synthiam.com/Software/Manual/EZ-B-v4-Info-16059
You can connect to the WIFI right?
if not re set the network on the ezb4 unit
connect to the ezb network on your WIFI settings
make sure your battery is charged
I am trying all things, lol
The servos are tower hobby... i think mg 995? generic at any rate.
1) do you hear a startup chime when power is applied to the ezb?
2) do you hear a welcome message when the ezb is reset with the reset button?
3) do you hear the connection chime when ARC connects to the ezb?
4) did you select the port using the configuration button on the servo control that matches where the servo is connected?
5) did you set min and max values of the servo control in the configuration screen?
1) Are you connecting to the ezb on the index #0?
2) does the ezb repeat my battery is low
No its not giving me a low battery message.
Try submitting a diagnostic report. Your last log update was 2017. Here’s the link to manually do it: https://synthiam.com/Products/Controls/General/Diagnostic-Report-16177
My bench supply is a variable voltage/current unit . The ezb was drawing a little over 300 milliamps.
I will dig into this tomorrow.
what was the latest on your situation?

I completely uninstalled the dumb thing and we have controls!
I knew it, thanks I could help
Ant virus was always my problem
all the best!
One last thing:
remember, when ever you re-boot your computer, the fire-wall - anti virus will "reload again" - you will need to shut it off again
be well!
