RR, don't be a troll. If you're not going to help then stay silent.

Mel, Do you know if you're running in AP or client mode? If in client mode you won't see her on the list of wifi clients. You then attach to her EZB through ARC through the Connection buttons. If ezb is a v4 you will click on address entries. If its a V3 you click on com port entries.

Let us know how it's going.

EDIT Comment withdrawn...

I exchanged a couple of emails with Mel.

I believe he was in client mode, but the EZ-B appears to have reset itself because it gave the Welcome to the EZ-Robot Revolution greeting and is blinking green. The SSID is not visible on his network (at lease from his desktop, I have asked if he has another computer or phone he can try to see it from to rule out a problem with the desktop WiFi).

I think there is something in his wiring that is blowing up EZ-B's because the one I traded with him hoping it was fixable is quite dead. The WiFi chip can be seen by the PICKIT tool and takes a flash, but still won't work. I split the top and bottom boards and swapped them with boards from a good working EZ-B. With the good bottom and the "bad" top, I get an audio "network error" and the device does not appear on the network. With the good top and the "bad" bottom, no audio and the LED flashes white, not green.

I don't know what could blow up an EZ-B without tripping the fuses, but I strongly suspect something is.

i would ckeck the speaker or reset button

Alen, your a stand up guy to go to this level in helping Mel. I know he must be flustered.

Mel, I wish there was something I could suggest that could help. Alen great troubleshooting seems to show a problem with the power supplying the ezb. You need to get this corrected before you burn out another ezb or worse. If you can't pinpoint the issue do you know anyone or any place that could go over your wiring and look for problems? Maybe the local technology college with a electronic course. Students or teachers may jump at a chance to help. if I were close I'd be happy to lend a hand. What part of the usa are you in?

@Thetechguru,@Dave

Guys, the same thing happened to one of my V3s...just died with out tripping the fuse. This could very well be a manufacturing defect...I don't know what level of QC they have at the factory but it could be a misaligned trace or something internally just not lined up perfectly...it does happen from time to time.

@Moviemaker However, please post photos of the project, details on the wiring please...maybe I can help. Use your meter to see if you have anything shorting out...

Doom, from what Alen said it sounds like Mel has a v4 he's having problems with.
