Mobile EZB And USB Connection

Is it possible for EZB-mobile have support for USB connection?  My robot has an embedded pc with USB connection at the moment, but I would rather use something smaller if possible.

I had problems, in the past, with WiFi dropping connection or struggle to gain connection in large crowds. I settled with an embedded computer for the last 1-2 years.

The robot is often out with large crowds so safety / dropping connections is the biggest concern.

Thank you for your input, Aaron

Hi guys,

I finally received my mosfet switches for my connection failsafe.

I am having a hard time finding the setting for using D24 to monitor the connection.

Can anyone help me locate this in the ezb configuration?

Thanks, Aaron

The setting enabling the D23 connection monitoring is in the ezb web server.... Make sure you update your ezb4 x/2 to the latest firmware first...

Richard is absolutely correct, with up-to-date firmware on the EZ-Bv4.1/2, that option is in the Webserver settings under "Advanced Settings" in the "Network services" section. It's called port D23 connection status.

Hi guys,

Quick update, the problem was firmware.  I got the board updated and everything worked accordingly.  Great feature to have:)

Thank you, Aaron
