Need Help Testing The Elechouse Tlg10ua03 Uart-Wifi ?

Good Morning EZ-Robot.com Hardware Team !

 Last week I received my ElecHouse UART-WiFi Kit, and got it Connecting to my Home Router with help from Robot-Doc, who  led me to the TLG10UA03,

ElecHouse UART-WiFi

 I have attached my Screenshots and Test Procedure, "13-Mar-2013 ElecHouse WiFi UART Serial Terminal Loop-Back Test.doc", and my ARC File of the same name.

 I am using DJ's New Serial Terminal within ARC; seems to WORK GREAT, but I need to LEARN MORE on its proper use ?

 My Question is, Exactly Where Do I Loop-Back the WiFi Module; I tried Tx-to-Rx with No Success ?

Thank You All & Best Wishes,

I'm lost... by reversing TX and RX pins I got a successful connection to EZB through wifi and com emulation, which is weird by itself. However, no command controls will go through... Rich, have u been successful in your attempt ? Who has ?

I haven't even got my WiFi module in yet. Waiting on delivery (hopefully tomorrow).

I hope you get it soon and fix all our problems

I just got it to reset AT did not work i tried +++RSTF,++RSTF,+RSTF and one of them worked

Here we go again:D

I DID IT ! IT WORKS !

So, guys, you need to :

  1. invert the tx and rx connection.
  2. do not select the external NVT command port in HW virtual port (don't ask me why either)
  3. still in HW VP in the settings tab select ONLY the following options : Connect to device even if Virtual COM is closed Strict Baudrate Emulation (and of course you Log Enabled).
  4. DO NOT ASSIGN the same port to the web server and to the Auto Server mode.

Now, the quality : I just tested it a little. It tends to disconnect at regular intervals, perhaps a timeout thing to deal with but any way it doesn't matter to much since it's easy to reconnect, in worst case scenario you just need to kill and recreate the virtual port. I mean that's not the actual worst case scenario but that's also why my robot is entirely mounted on a Rovio from Wowwee so I can always bring it back to its charging station in case of total failure of the EZB... which happened quite a lot with the bluetooth... by the way.

I don't know about you but I feel relieved that I know for sure that this is a working solution and that I didn't waste my money.

Cheers!

what wpa key converter are you using

WPA2, if I get what you mean by WPA converter...

RX needs to go to TX and vice versa... TX sends, RX receives. So TX sends something from device A, it needs to go to RX on device B to be received. Just to clear that up for you.

any one knows if there's a way to use the bluetooth from EZB to connect it to an Arduino ? Is it pre-programmed for EZB only or can it be used otherwise ? If it can't I'll leave it on EZB and use the wifi for my arduino (for a second project on my second Rovio, to allow it to reboot when it gets disconnected).
