Hi Again
I have a roomba 535 and I hooked up my EZB v4 to it per the instructions on the website and started the EZ Builder software with the Roomba Movement Panel. I took the PS/2 wire and connected to servo wires at 3 & 7 ports mentioned in the instructions. Also, I have the EZB v4 connected to my existing Wi-fi network as a client. As I clicked on init in the roomba movement panel, nothing happened on my roomba and I am unable to move it using the controls. I checked the connections and everything seems to be connected ok. Can someone please help me diagnose this and help get my roomba working on the EZB?
Thanks!
Yes I checked the 115,200 baud box also in the settings. Does the other option "use old protocol" also apply in this case? I tried checking and un-checking, but nothing happened *mad*
There is a green light on my EZB v4. Just wondering when you press the init button, is there any notification that signals whether the Roomba is successfully connected to EZB? I do not hear anything when I click on the Init button.
Once in a while clicking a button will generate an action but it is not consistent. I switched over to sending commands to the 500 Roomba using Serial port 0 with much better success.
If you want to keep using D0 for Roomba control you might want to consider switching to the 4XX, 4XXX, Dirt Dog, or Create robots.
@Robot-Doc - Can you please let me know how do I manually change the port in the roomba Movement Panel to the Serial Port? It shows D0 and does not allow me to change it in ARC. Would I have to create a brand new Movement Panel and if so, I would then loose the ARC. automatic buttons for clean, dock etc?
*tired*
@DJ - Appreciate your guidance on this as well.
***Edit*** Never mind, I thought he might want use the custom Movement Panel where he can change the post designations to anything he wants...
What can be done (I think) is to use the UARTWrite commands with the right values to perform similar actions like the present Roomba movement panel.
Thanks for the feedback. I was just wondering if there is a tutorial on the UART Write commands I can go through to familiarize myself. I would have to modify my servo wiring cable (as in my picture on post#1) is currently on D0 and I wasn't sure how to wire it to the black UART port on the EZBv4. It would be nice to have a snapshot of the wiring diagram
You can find out more about how to use EZ-Script and ARC by completing the tutorials in the LEARN section. This one specifically applies to your question: http://www.ez-robot.com/Tutorials/Lesson/22
