If the led is flashing... Maybe the cable is damaged. It would help to see the error. Press the copy button and paste it here.

Nomad 6R · Answer

Nomad 6R · Answer

then i gess we wait to dj what he says.

EricEZ · Answer

well I am just waiting for a reply from a dj he would know where the faults with the data that I sent. thankyou Nomad

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@Eric if you used Contact Us then Aislinn will probably contact you regarding the warranty....

EricEZ · Answer

@Richard R, Yeah I've been submitting Richard, and Aislinn has replied to my email, i reply and then send her a video about this issue. but haven't gotten a reply anything, so I am trying to open a discussion

thetechguru · Answer

They don't work on the weekend (accept DJ, who works whenever inspiration hits), so be patient. Aislinn will take care of you. The error you are seeing is not something we are going to be able to resolve through a discussion. You have done the appropriate troubleshooting. Your camera or cable (I think camera) is broken.

EricEZ · Answer

Yeah Alan, I know.. I am afraid because the installation error reply I did before I claim warranty.. It is to be a bit of a problem ... If there during the day, then night at my country, today is Monday at 9.49 Am in my place. ..hhehehe Moreover if it can claim in warranty and I have to return the camera and send it to Canada, the cost of the shipment is almost equal to the price of new camera ...:) shipping from Indonesia to the outside is very expensive

Aislinn · Answer

@EricEZ- don't worry! I will take care of you. I do try and respond as quickly as possible, but sometimes there may be an hour or two between responses during the day!

EricEZ · Answer

@Aislinn, Oke no Problem , im sorry I had to add one job on your tired

chas9000c · Answer

I'm having exactly the same issue with the exception and same stack trace EricEZ reported. The camera used to work fine and now it doesn't. @Aislinn, whenever this issue gets resolved, could you possibly post the resolution here so I (and anyone else who runs into it) can also know what the root cause was and how to overcome it? I would greatly appreciate that.

Aislinn · Answer

@chas9000c Are you trying to connect to AP mode?

chas9000c · Answer

No, I'm connecting using client mode. FWIW, the connection to the EZBv4 seems to work fine, as I'm able to control servos. Just the camera no longer seems to connect where previously it did. (Of course, I've done all the usual stuff--checking the cable is firmly plugged in, rebooting the controller, etc.)

CochranRobotics · Answer

What is the ip address in the camera control. If it is 192.168.1.1 and you are in client mode, you will probably get errors. Check to make sure it is using the same ip as you ARC shows in your connection window. If your in ap mode, 192.168.1.1 will probably work.

chas9000c · Answer

I'm using the same IP for both camera and controller, which is 192.168.1.23 (using port 23 when connecting to controller, of course).

CochranRobotics · Answer

Okay, I just thought I would mention it because I use my robots in ap mode sometimes and client mode others. I sometimes forget to change the ip in the camera control in ARC and think it may have gone bad but it's because of the ip not being set right when switching wifi modes. Hope you get it fixed.

EricEZ · Answer

wall e. got a surprise at a time when he was having a bad time... blush Thankyou @Aislinn and All... next the wall.e upgrade process is continued

EricEZ · Answer

the new camera working so good now... Thanks

chas9000c · Answer

@Aislinn, is the resolution for this to get a new camera?

Aislinn · Answer

@chas9000c Is the LED on your camera functioning?

chas9000c · Answer

@Aislinn, I don't think it's functioning. Would I see it lighting up where the camera lens is? If so, then no, it's not functioning. Also, previously when the camera was working, I could hear it whenever it was feeding video to the controller. Now it no longer makes any sound when it should be streaming frames (but isn't).

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@chas9000c to clarify, there is no solid blue led you can faintly see through the white plastic shell?

chas9000c · Answer

@Aislinn, correct. No blue LED visible.

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@chas9000c Ok, one last thing you can try if you're up for it... Carefully and I mean carefully remove the white shell.... As mentioned, be very careful sliding the camera out of the lens (upper) portion of the shell. It is very easy to dislodge the black portion of the lens from the camera board. Once you get it out try unplugging the while jst cable and plugging in back in again. If that doesn't work try separating the 2 camera boards (they come apart very easily) and again remount them... Test the camera again. If it comes back to life again be very careful putting it back into the shell.... Other than that you will probably need a new camera....

chas9000c · Answer

@Aislinn, thanks for the info. I tried what you suggested. (Thanks for the warnings about the camera lens.) Still no luck unfortunately, so looks like I'm out a camera. Thanks again.

thetechguru · Answer

@chas9000c, I don't know how long you have had the camera or how long EZ-Robot's warranties them for, but you should file a warranty request on the contact us page. They have been very good about replacing failed parts so far. Alan

Aislinn · Answer

@chas9000c It sounds like you have a defective item. Submit your claim through the contact us page as @thetechguru suggested please!

chas9000c · Answer

@thetechguru & @Aislinn, thanks for your help. Done.
