Multi-Questions(1 Being Wifi Hardware)

1: is this adapter compatible with the ez-b and how does it work?

2:Does anyone have a pic or diagram of a ez-b with 2 battery packs in series/parallel?

3:Does anyone have a pic/diagram of a ez-b with a regulator fan?

4:Mainly for any R2D2 person; What toy did you use?(Dj, which one?)

  1. Yes it works. It's quite a complex process to get it working as it requires a virtual com port. Do a search, there is a topic regarding this however the results were inconclusive. There may be more on other topics but it's worth doing a search and seeing what comes up.

  2. Parallel you connect the battery +ve and -ve to each other and connect that to the EZB (so both +ve to EZB +ve and both -ve to EZB -ve). Series you connect one batteries +ve to the other's -ve and the other 2 terminals connect to the EZB. Google it, here is one (of many) sites to check out http://www.zbattery.com/Connecting-Batteries-in-Series-or-Parallel

  4. I can't help you on that one.

That would be parallel which would give you more capacity. i.e. if both were 4.5Ah 6V batteries you would end up with 9Ah 6v.

what i was shooting for thanks. the adapter can take this right?

#6  

one more question

Have led here Total voltage=1.5+1.5+1.5=4.5

Can i use it on the ez-b?

#7  

Seems like the minimum dc voltage requirement for the EZ-B is 5 vdc. Most folks go higher than that due to the possibility of a voltage drop at start-up that would drop below the minimum of 5 volts thus possibly making the circuit components very unhappy.

I feel that wifi adapter can also be connected to accept TCP over a specific port, rather than a virtual com port. No?

We have some, but i haven't used it yet. I thought you can say "EVerything on port 23 is serial data" or soemthing..

That way, you just connect to the IP Address and port in ARC.
