I am having a devil of a time getting TWO ezbs to work together.
I can start my netbook, load up EZB0 OR EZB1, but not both. I can connect one and then open up the other EZB on my desktop and run them individually, but not together. It is confusing to me. It has nothing to do with EZ-Robot. I am just dense.
so, I can connect com10 on the netbook with is EZB0,sunshine and then I can connect com6 on the desktop that is EZB1,sunshine2
But, it has to be in two different ARCs. and two separate computers. Weird. I did not have ANY trouble with a single EZB.
I took a working robot(Marti) apart. She was running great, except she would slow down sometimes. But, I thought I would use two eZBs and I wound up with nothing working as I expected. she would have times where she would freeze up with the speech rec going. I figured that she would run better if I added another ezb to help with the bandwidth.
Now, the new robot, Basically marti with different arms, is not working well at all.
Help, please.
Thank You!
I got rid of all the bluetooth devices. I reinstalled the EZBs and paired both of them with 1234 paring code. They still don't work.
?
Am I supposed to enter a different paring code? When I try to display the port, the box is empty.
?
No, 1234 is the correct pairing code. Once paired they should be added to Devices and Printers, are they in there?
If installed correctly in the Devices and Printers they should be assigned COM ports by Windows, you can check this by right clicking on them and choosing properties, it should list the com port and it's number.
If it's not showing the COM ports in ARC it sounds like they aren't installed correctly. ARC will show every COM port windows has set up in device manager, including non EZ-B com ports. If you are sure Windows has installed the COM ports correctly try reinstalling ARC.
I just got BOTH ports to be seen on my desktop. (a real first after hours of work.)
But, installing and uninstalling on the netbook , when I check the ports One ezb has a port, the other has an empty box. I cannot connect the either. Of course it is on the netbook that I need them. So, I keep trying . . .
OK, I have them seen on the netbook. But, the desktop doesn't see them. But, I don't care anymore. The netbook sees them. It is just strange that the Desktop doesn't.
It sounds like you haven't paired them to the PC correctly, if paired correctly they will show up in ARC (along with any other COM ports that are already installed on the PC).
Remove the EZ-Bs from the PC (if applicable) Follow the pairing tutorial again Open ARC and check the COM ports are in the list.
If it's still not working, post a screenshot of your Devices and Printers screen and of the Services tab of the Properties of the EZ-Bs.
This makes perfect sense. These are not multi-pair devices. If you pair to your netbook, your desktop will no longer be paired and won't see them until you pair again, at which point they will no longer be paired to the netbook.
