Resolved by Rich!
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.
Hi @Cheko
You could try moving the RGB Eyes to another I2C port on the ez-b and see if it works (essentially all you would be doing is re-seating the connection). You could also re-seat the connection inside the Head as well.
As @Rich said if you try to use I2C communication and there isn't a good connection the ez-b will lock up, this is the nature of the ARM chip inside.
Thanks for the suggestion jeremie. I have re-seated the connection on the board tried all 3 ports and also in the head unfortunately it hasn't help.
Have you checked the connection inside the head? Make sure that is connected properly too.
You mentioned to start with that virtual ports etc. which there is no reference to in the animator control. Which makes me wonder if you have changed the I2C port on the animator at any time? If you have and you attempt to control something on 0xA0 which you changed earlier to something else this will cause the EZ-B to freeze.
Can you post your project you are using? I'd like to check you have the control set up correctly.
Yes I check inside the heads it looked okay.
I can upload the project later when I get home thanks for the offer to look over the controls Rich
The virtual ports I mentioned in the beginning was in reference to the a design area. I came across but can't recall right now how where exactly I came across it, but I also recall some other options "Dynamixel" I left it as it was N/A and canceled out from what I can recall.
I just uploaded the file and made the file public
It's called Six W/Head
Thanks
Hello @Cheko,
Took me a little while but I found your file
Everything works fine on my end, so I'll leave it to our customer service team to take care of a warranty replacement.
Figured I'd quickly check if you have another set of LED eyes at all, just in case you did. It would make it quite easy to troubleshoot if the issue is the ez-b or the LED eyes if you had another set.
I unfortunately do not have another RGB array so my trouble shooting is limited, as I do not have a know good device. Yes this will need to be taken care of by customer service team since I can't determine with certainty if it's the board or array that are the issue. Thanks for looking over my ezb file.
