I know that this sounds crazy, but . .
I removed six working maxbotix EZ0s from the LEAF robot that I disassembled. They were all working.
I wired them as directed (no brainer.)
None of them worked. I hooked them to the ADC ports. I tried all ports and all sensors.
I tried several ways of wiring them. No soap.
I even tried them on Digital.
I am beginning to think my ADC ports are not working.
Thanks!
How do I hook up the Pot to test the ADC port?
C'mon Mel what gives?.... You said you been doing robotics since the 70's.... What happened to all that knowledge? This is basic stuff dude.... No wonder you're so frustrated...
You still haven't confirmed that your ezb is connected to ARC when you are trying to read the analog ports...
@Mel
Use a 100k pot...that'll give you a little bit over a 180 degree turn....if you're trying to replicate a servo...I use that to read the positioning on my dc wormgeared motor...
Thank You guys.
The way I know that the ezb is connected, I operate the unit with the movement panel. If it goes forward, I know it is connected.
Rich, I understand your not understanding me. I am pushing 70. I was an Engineer for 9.5 years, but I have been cut down by aging. Age and disease can knock a man down where he is not as strong physically or mentally. I would say after doing this for 41 years, I am back to almost Entry Level.
sorry.
I wonder since these boards have traces on both sides, And I soldered the wires to the pads on ONE side, could it be that I needed to place the leads inside of the holes and let the wire be soldered on both sides?
