It is a v4, and this is the second one that was previously working now with the same problem, which is why I suspect a wiring problem.

(but I don't think that was Doombot's point. He was just saying sometimes circuits fail).

Ah, ya. I guess I need to read a little slower.

Mel, I wonder if you have any device or connection miss wired that would back feed power through a switch or relay into the digital or adc ports of the EZB? Just fishing around here.

I just heard from Mel that he tried another computer and it could see the EZ-B, so he is back in business.

Alan

Ah! This is great news. I was worried he was giving up. I hope he returns to the forum and stays a member of this community. Mel's a good guy and needs to stay involved and active. Seems like he dropped off after he was belittled by rr. I really wouldn't blame him if he stayed away though. When your battling health issues the last thing you need is having to deal with a jerk. Personally, healthy or not, I wouldn't want to come around here asking for help if I was afraid that each time I did that I'd have some troll insinuating that I was dumb or stupid. mad

Alan, your a great asset to this community. You seem to always be willing to go to great lengths to help people with problems. You're kind and helpful even it people cant quite seem to get over the learning curve or have other problems they cant help. I don't have that level of skill and I admire you for it. I know you've helped me a lot of times both directly and just by watching you work through an issue with other posters. Thanks for being there for us and I'm grateful Mel had a someone like you he felt comfortable working with.

i absolute agree with you.i to have health and mental problems, when you battle them hole day .yourre very happy iff something goes right, with your robot.it give you that feeling ,i had a good day. sometimes you have to think the same way as the person who ask for help. some dont get it that not averybody is born with a brain for robotics, but born with a big heart for robotics.

No, we're not done. I'll keep commenting on your abusive comments. You don't have the power to get me kicked off here. Only I can do that. Just because you are quick to answer some questions does not make it right that you can verbally abuse people that have trouble gasping things and call them names. Your an offensive person and we have confronted you on your behavior before. In fact at one time you promised to keep your abusive comments to your self and not cause trouble. That lasted only a few months. You've ran a lot of good robot builders away from this forum and I can go back and easily copy their comments pointing to you as the cause. So my advice to you old friend is to remember your promise and stop talking down your nose to people have problems understanding things. mad
