Windows 8 wont be the problem.

All I can see it pointing to is two things;

1. A faulty servo (or more than one if you are really unlucky)
2. Inadequate power supply

From your pictures it's pretty safe to say it's more likely to be number 1 not number 2.

Did you try it with no servos attached? And then add one, test, etc.?

If it needs exchanging use the Contact Us link (which I think has automatically been applied to this post).

So, if you can get the wheels to turn that means your communicating with the EZ-B. Is your blue LED staying light now?

I'm not the best person to help but it sounds like something is causing a current spike when those commands are made. Not normal. Originally you said that it would disconnect after running a minute. Is that with no servos running? Have you tried with standard servos?

hehe I wish I could. There are better people than I helping you. I'm sure when they get the chance they will get back with you. Sorry you're having trouble. I myself am too so I'm getting a new one to compare against.

@IAmTheOne, i understand your frustration - but please respect others and refrain from typing in capital letters.

Does the EZ-B disconnect when nothing is connected to it? For example, can you pretend there are servos plugged in, but do not actually plug them in. Simply configure the software to use ports as if they were plugged in.

Operate the EZ-B with absolutely nothing plugged in except power and use ARC with modified servo controls like you were doing.

Does it still disconnect?

Welcome to the EZ Robot community. Do you have a digital volt/ohm meter "Iamnoone"? I see the direction of DJs trouble shooting question. Somthing you can do while performing his suggestion is you can monitor your voltage and watch it to see if there is a drop right before the Bluetooth disconnects from the pwr pin and ground pin ( not singal pin this will not play a role) on any of the servo pins. Unpugging all the servos and running ezb will give you the opportunity to see what the voltage is coming off the power pins (should be 5 volts) without a current draw. Do this test and it will tell us the next logical step to pinpoint your disconnect issue.

:) I wasn't offended. I had a chuckle.

No offence taken by me either. I understand your frustration.

Sometimes people use caps all the time or at inappropriate times. Others see this as yelling or being rude. Personally it's hard to read and (right or wrong on my part) when I see a person doing this a lot I think the person unnecessarily is being a jurk. You didn't come across like this to me.

I wish I had an answer or method for you to get your board working. It almost seems like there is a lack of power or there is something on the board that's shorting to ground. It could be something way beyond your control to fix it or at least find the problem. Something like a bad cap or cold or cracked solder joint. Maybe something as simple but very hard to find as a trace on the board flashing over to another trace. Josh gave you one test to perform and I hope you are able to find something through it. When trouble shooting and testing "Always" disconnect everything from the problem board and keep it on a non conductive, static free surface. However judging from your video and use of the other "board that must not be named" and starting with an A you seem to know at least the basics.

Perhaps it time to either get another board or contact EZ B through their support page for help? Maybe it's time to send it back to them to look it over or replace.

If you trust a member of this forum and they are willing perhaps you can send your board to them to confirm your troubles or maybe even try to find the problem. I'd be happy to accept the challenge. I'm no expert and cant really find a hidden problem on this little wonder but would be happy to hook it up here and at least see if it's working or has any problems I can see with my eyes. I could run a few limited tests and compare to my working boards. This may or may not tell me anything. If I find anything I could either repair, resolder or forward it to EZ Robot for them to replace or repair for you. LMK

Just a few ideas. Hope you can work this out.
