Hello all,
I have an issue with a frequently intermittent disconnect of my EZ-B from ARC. I am constantly forced to reset the EZ-B or my bluetooth connection or both. Sometime, I am able to operate for a good 20 minutes (+/-) before I am forced to reset, and other times I have to reset every minute or so (especially after issuing servo commands)
Some background:
This is a Wall-E project. I am inserting the EZ-B and the battery pack into Wall-e's "gut". However, they are not firmly attached and may move around slightly as Wall-E moves. Can this be a problem? Should the board be firmly attached? (I will eventually make sure everything is firmly attached and connected but I haven't finalized the Wall-e hardware configuration yet and wanted to do a few trial runs before)
I should also point out I am running Windows using Parallels on my Mac. I suspect this virtual os problem may be the main suspect. However, I am hopeful it is not the case, and someone else has experienced a similar problem and found an alternate solution for it.
Many Thanks for any feedback,
Sam
P.S. I am considering installing Windows directly using BootCamp (instead of virtual environments). This way I can start my mac using Windows as my operating system. It's just a pain doing so, as I would have to shutdown and restart every time I wish to alternate between OS'es
@ Sammy , a lithium ion battery pack. They have longer runtime durations for the size of battery and they handle higher current demands as well.
