Rgb Unit On Humanoid Head

Are the i2c ports on the board auto sensing or is each one of the 3 a specific address?

I found what looks to be the address range 0xA0, but I've also found V0 virtual ports or AX0 Dynamixel ports, it is currently set to N/A. What should it be set too does it matter which of the i2c prey's it's physically plugged into?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I will recharge the battery and try again, but according to the battery monitor its good over 7.0 confused

But that can quickly drop when a load is placed on it.... Are you using servos? 7.4 is the nominal value, however fully charged it will be over 8V

Yes I'm using servos it's basically a six with a body and humanoid head.

No arms arms attached yet waiting on the shoulders servos still.

That could be your problem... Servos draw a lot of power.... 90% of all disconnects are because of a low battery....

Ahh I see then for testing purposes I will try the RGB unit alone.

If this fails what are the chances the hardware is the issue.

Can the network be the issue direct client vs AP connection?

The humanoid head also processes sound as in speech recognition and my voice?

Yes, so the next step( if it is not the battery) is to test individual components... open a new project and add components\controls one at a time to see what does what...

Check it is plugged in the right way around. Check it is plugged in properly. If there is an I2C error the EZ-B will freeze.

If you have the six body with battery inside, and it's fully charged, there should be no problems. In fact, if it isn't saying it has low battery and you haven't disabled or changed the battery warning then the power supply isn't going to be the problem.

Well it might be hardware I have tried without servos on a fresh project only the RGB animator, debug, and connection running it falls as soon as I run any command from the animator. EZ- builder locks up my board goes from green blue light to green blue and red.
