Roli Isn'T Moving

My roli isn't moving. Yesterday morning, it worked and then it stopped later on that night. The battery was charged, i made sure the fuse was good, i tired the button pushed down and pushed up, i made sure all the wires were in the right place, i tried reinstalling ez-robot, i made sure none of the wires were damaged, i tried rebooting the robot, the wifi is good, the camera works, the servos i attach work sometimes. I have tried everything i have read in the forums and its not working! Please help! stress

Here is the Roli tutorial page: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Course/3

There is an internal wiring section which may be useful: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Lesson/69?courseId=3

Few questions for you...

  1. Can you expand on "the servos i attach work sometimes"?

  2. Are you using ARC for PC or Mobile?

  3. I see from the activity log that the Roli default project has been modified on your computer to use a RGB Animator. Do you have an RGB Animator control added to the default Roli project?

  4. Have you installed the most recent ARC software?

1.) Now they don't work at all, only the camera works. Everything is plugged in right and when i calibrate the servos they go to their proper spots but i cant control them still. 2.) Im using a PC, but i have the mobile app as well. 3.) I dont think so. If i do, could that be my problem? If so, how do i get rid of it? 4.) Yeah. It is the most recent version. PLease help!

I just did everything that yall told me to do, turned it on, and tried moving the servo. The red and black wires melted and the robot started smoking and the wires glowed!

In that case you obviously did not do one of the instructions right! The red and black wires you said are the battery wires?

Those would be the wires to the hbridge.

Disconnect all wires from the ezb to ensure it isn't damaged next.

Does the ezb make a startup chime when it is powered on?
