sorry for late respons.was trying to get him connected. but he dont connect.i see him in wifi connection,blue led is blinking. reset but no luck.so what do i need to look for.

thanks

#45  

what are you connecting with? is it a pc or laptop?

Is it connecting to the internet currently through Wifi? If so, and you only have one wifi network card, that wont work. you will need to disconnect from you wifi and connect to the EZ-B.

Once you answer these, we can proceed.

#46  

Dude, I think I have found your problem... Your pants are too short.... :P

Is the computer you are using wifi or network cable?

#48  

@Richard R, that is what happened when he lost control of his bodily functions when the door bell rang and he saw the DHL van.

#50  

Is your desktop wifi or network cable? You need to use a wifi compatible computer/tablet or android device etc

#52  

Richard, I gotta get back to work.

See if he can hit the web server on the device. I bet you are going down the right path. I always config mine with a smartphone first to get onto the network.

Good luck guys.

Antivirus running? Do you have another wifi enabled device/computer to try and connect to the EZB?

Nomad, I would just wait until the battery is all used up again and try it with this charger.

Also, make sure not to run your batteries down any lower than about 6.6 volts. Doing so could damage the battery. (Technically you can go down to 6 volts but why push it?)

If you are using the sample from eZ-robot, you will want to use the ports they used. If not, when you expect a leg to move, he is going to smack himself in the face :)

#78  

if you want to use different ports, you can, as long as a digital stays a digital and so on. It just will mean that you will need to modify the ARC app to use the new port numbers. This would be in any Auto Position controls, scripts and anything else that uses an input or output other than sound and video.

You want the servo legs to be perfect straight when set to 90. Use the servo Fine Tune to adjust the legs to be straight at 90. And use the servo Fine Tune to adjust the feet to be straight flat at 90

Use the + and - buttons on the leg servos to make them perfectly straight at 90. The offset will increase/decrease to help you align the servos.

You can save the fine tune settings for next time.

first charger bolt leds where on red and green. the second only red,allreddy 2.50 houres still red.

when one light goes out, it is charged.

If both lights are on, it is not charged.

The guy helping me with my class has my charger like that one, but I thought this is correct. I think there was a piece of paper that came with mine that told me that.

in any event, it is a 1 amp charger and a 1.3 amp battery. it should charge it in 1.3 hours or so.

cool, okay so back to that one. does your desktop connect via both a wired connection and a wifi connection or just a wifi connection?

Do you have an android phone that you could use to connect and configure JD to be on your wifi network? I find this much easier to do.

Do you have your network SSID and Password?

okay, so press the reset button on the top of the ez-b

this will make sure it is back to the beginning.

It should welcome you to the ez-robot revolution and some other things.

If you hear that, then

next try to connect with the android to the ez-b in wifi. you will see it as a separate wifi network.

okay, what you are seeing is two different networks.

The EZB is in its own network right now. We want to get them to become one network.
From your Android wifi settings page, do you see both of these networks?

By configuring the EZB with the android, your PC wont be getting kicked off of the internet and thus will be able to continue this conversation more easily.

click connect. It should reboot and quickly connect to your network.

... I know, but it is the same process.... using a web browser to access the ezb's web server.... I was hoping Nomad would understand what he was actually doing instead of just coping what you have been telling him...

#139  

Yea, I think its more worn out and inexperience. I think once he sees this he will get it, but he has been working on getting JD up and going all day and this is the last step toward getting him connected to the computer. Once he is connected, I think he will probably not sleep for days though :)

#147  

lol, Its good. this part isnt really networking at this point. He is so close to having jd working on his network. Also, this will be a great tutorial to send someone to if they are willing to read. its basically a start to finish on getting JD setup and on the network. DJ and team are working on a tutorial now as he said earlier. I think some of this information could be really good there.

A lot of the time when writing documentation for things, I find it most helpful to show the documentation to people who are not skilled in an area. I find that they find the things that I made assumptions on. Patrick is a very patient person and a perfect candidate in my book for reviewing the documentation on JD.

This has also given me a chance to see the things that I need to cover in my class as we wont get any of our bots until Roli is ready. It also helps me to know which students to place on which platform first. This has really helped me out. I also have seen things that I didnt know existed in ARC until last night. That is my bad for not staying up to speed on some of the changes that have been put in place, but great to discover.

goodmorning i wanted to charge the batt this morning and same happen like the other. bolt leds are on red/green and charger gets hot and smelly. what does this mean?

on the bottem from the charger is a explanation what the leds mean.

red is charger gets power from wallsocket green is charging.so bolt must lid up. when fully charged green goes out.

#150  

is it the power block for the charger that plugs into the wall that gets hot, or the blue metal part of the charger?

I am about to head to bed, but saw this.

As long as the battery isnt getting warm then I don't believe there would be an issue, but if the power plug into the wall is getting hot, I might be a bit concerned.

PRO

#151  

the blue one

have a goodnight

i just checked it again and also the wallsoket adaptor get warm

#152  

I think you will be fine. I didnt notice mine getting hot but I have a different charger that I normally use that I can control a lot more.

Not being able to smell what it is that you are smelling, i have to assume that it is something that is put on the metal that "burns off". I expect that this smell would go away after a few charges.

Good luck this morning Nomad. I hope you get JD on your network. I will check back when I wake up. Just take things one step at a time and I think you will get it in no time.

#154  

Hey nomad my balancer charger(blue block) gets pretty hot too I think that it's normal. When you plug the AC input the red light will always lit up to indicate there is power coming from the wall plug, once you plug it with JD there will be a green light to let you know your robot is being charged. After charging is completed the green light will go off this means your robot it's completely charged. The red light will still be on of course and the balancer charger will cool down

@A.Bautista... Looks like you are connected to your ezb in WP mode.... While in WP mode you can't connect to the internet while connected to your ezb. Nomad is trying (like everyone else) to connect in client mode so he can be connected to both the ezb and internet at the same time... In other words he is going one step further than you in order to access the ezb's web server and change the settings. Again, this is so he can connect to the ezb in Client mode.... this is the preferred connection mode for the ezb....

@nomad... You're almost there... where it says SSID you enter the name of your home wifi network and below that where it says security key enter your wifi password... If you are successful after this step the ezb will reboot and enter client mode... The led light on the ezb will go from blue to green...

Hey nomad, do you have some time to work on getting jd on your network with me?

#173  

@d.cochran.... Thank God you're here dude... I can't offer Nomad anymore help... Do you think perhaps a session using Team Viewer might be the way to go? I know Alan has helped a fellow forum member that way....

My last ditch suggestion was for Nomad to find, buy, borrow or steal a Win 8 laptop and try again from the beginning....

#174  

Yea, I think so. It just depends on the Internet speed. Also the issue is that his computer only has one network connection which is the one we need to use to connect to the v4 which will loose the connection to team viewer.

I think what I will do is try to connect with team viewer, and then get all of the information needed to make a video showing what needs to be done.

Nomad, let me know your availability today and I will see what we can get done.

You have 2 ez-B's. One has a lot of wires connected to it in JD. The other one has nothing connected to it. unplug the one that is connected to JD from JD and plug the other one into the back of JD.

you dont have to disconnect the servo wires or anything, just pull it out of the back of JD and put the other on in the socket.

Once you do this, try the same steps we just did please.

Connect to the ez-b network, and then connect to the webserver on the new ezb.

#187  

Let me know if the same thing happens when you try to connect to the webserver.

#189  

okay so now, go to Wi-Fi Client Mode on the webpage you are looking at. In SSID, put your the name of the network that you are connecting to from your PC. Put the security key in which is the password used to protect your wifi in your house. It may be written on the side of your router listed as Security Key if you are unsure of what it is.

yes, but did the ez-b say anything?

Im looking for "DINGGG! I have successfully connected to your network"

how far is the robot from your wifi access point or router?

One of 4 things is probably happening.

  1. your SSID is wrong
  2. your security key is wrong
  3. you are too far from the wifi access point to get signal

or

  1. your access point needs to be upgraded.

I would eliminate the first 3 before even considering the 4th.

Try #3 first. move the robot closer to the access point or router if your across the house from it.

It isn't seeing the network or is unable to connect at all at this point.

you will have to reset the EZ-B again by pressing that button, and then connect to the EZ-B on the android again to get back to the configuration page.

jd stands in 40 cm from wifi hub and from router 5 meters

#204  

cool, so that isnt the issue.

So Please verify that your SSID and your security key is correct.

The wifi in the ezb is working right or you wouldnt be able to configure it to try to connect to your network.

I think the issue with the other one is that everything is plugged into it and it is drawing your battery down too low to make a connection probably. How charged is this battery?

(BTW, this is where a power supply would be great because you wouldn't be concerned about the battery voltage at this point)

#205  

yes indeed that would be good for always have enough power. how do i see howfar the batt is?

#206  

is the project that you are running on your android published to the ezcloud? if it is, I can download it and add a script that will let you know, or I could walk you through how to add that script.

PRO
Belgium
#207  

i think the batt is to low.android doesn see it. yes its on ez cloud

#208  

here is what I do.

Add a variable watcher control if you dont already have one. (I always add these because I like to be able to see what my variables are set to anyway)

Next add a script component.

add this script

:loop
$voltage = GetVoltage()
sleep(10000)
goto(loop)

you will see the current voltage in the variable watcher listed under $voltage.

nothing works.on android.can we try on pc? i need to make a new one and delete the old ones apps

#220  

Nomad, here is the issue you have.

  1. your android can connect (it isnt running any virus software or anything so it is easy to connect to the EZ-B)

  2. you can see that the connection is working by being able to access the V4's website.

  3. you cant get the EZ-B onto your network because of either wrong SSID, Password or incompatibility with the Wifi access point.

  4. your PC has issues connecting to the EZ-B V4 but can connect to your wifi.

the best solution is to get the ez-b onto your wifi at your house because your pc can hit that network also and you would be able to be on the internet and connect to the ez-B.

Charge your battery and we will attempt again, but I think the issue is probably either the ssid or password. If it is not that, you should go get another wifi access point IMHO.

Please verify your SSID and your password first by using this information on your phone or on your android to try to connect it to the network. if it works there, then you know you have it correct and the issue is an incompatibility with your access point. I can recommend some to you that have shown to work. they are about $50.00 US.

Let me know after you have verified these pieces of data.

Nomad, we have a videos with the entire connection procedure.

  1. Can you tell me what's missing from the videos that will help you?

  2. I don't see in this thread if you've been able to connect and control JD from AP mode (default mode). Is there a reason why you're skipping to a more difficult connection method?

  3. When you load a project on android from cloud, it is cached in your local projects and you no longer need an internet connection.

  4. Why are you not using the default JD project that ships with ARC and ezcloud?

d.cohran that ok thanks for trying

dj i just want to use jd whit pc and there is a problem he dont connect the ez-b

jd makes some spastic moves when i turn him on.so i would correct that first , for the safety off the robot.but cant connect.also when norton is off.

on android it works,i can see camera and mic also works.

no acses to the server ez .

your video is good,my problem starts before your video.

am not a programmer so i cant solve it.

#225  

@DJ... Nomad says his pc (although his V4 appears in his wifi list) just will not connect in WP mode.... d.cochran was trying to get him access to the ezb4 web server via his android (because it seems to connect) device so he can switch over to Client mode....

rr thats correct the error i rea cant connect to the webserver also the android i have is very slow.

Nomad,

You do not need to be a programmer:) you may be overly complicating the procedure - we have children connecting to robots:) you can do it!

Let's first identify why your computer cannot connect. We need your computer to connect.

  1. what brand is your PC?

  2. do you have the following software installed?

  • avast
  • norton
  1. what virus scanners do you have?

  2. can you take a snapshot of the wifi error from your PC?

#229  

@Nomad... I think you should find, borrow or buy a cheap windows 8 laptop.... It is much easier to do what you are trying to do from a Windows PC.... Just my opinion...

I have never had a connection issue with Windows 8, but my previous Windows 7 computer gave me problems when trying to connect to my first ezb4 board....

#230  

... oh yeah... Duh. I remember now him saying he has Norton antivirus on his pc... It's buried somewhere in this thread I think....

@nomad... Hold off on the new pc.... :)

@nomad... Hold off on the new pc.... Smile

can you frase that diff?

#232  

@nomad.... DJ asked you some questions.... Do you have Norton antivirus (or any other antivirus software) running on your pc? Disable it, then reboot your pc.... Make sure Norton is disabled and try to connect to your ezb4 again...

PRO

#233  

rr yes i have norton.ok i will try that.

#235  

He can connect in ap mode from android. He can connect to webserver on v4 from Android

He can't from pc. He does have norton.

He only has one network device on his pc so I had him using the android so we could communicate using the pc. I was just trying to get the V4 in client mode so that then we could proceed to using the pc and staying connected to communicate. Unfortunately life got in the way here and I had to step away.

#236  

@d.cochran...So he was able to bring up the ezb4 webserver on his android? I gather that's as far as he got? Was there a password or network name problem then?

I do understand why you were working with him using the android.... I am hoping it is/was Norton antivirus that was the cause of him not being able to connect to his ezb4 via his home pc....

so i will not be able to connect jd? there's no money for a new pc. this means more then 1000 dollar for totally nothing. mad

dj is this thru?

#240  

yea, he got to the web server with the android.

If we can get the v4 on the network, I believe the issue will be resolved for the PC. I don't think a new PC would solve the issue as well as a different access point.

Nomad, would you be willing to purchase a different access point?

This is the one I use and love them.

Nomad, I want to connect to your computer and look around but I cant read your language. can you send me a couple of screen shots?

I want to see your current network configuration on your pc when it is connected to your home network. I want to verify what you are putting in as the SSID for your home network when configuring the EZ-B V4.

#243  

yes, it is possible to run many access points with different ssid's or the same ssid.

is the Linksys the one you are using now?

#248  

@A.Bautista... Nomad has tried everything... that is, to the extent of his abilities... It's best we let d.cochran handle this as he has extensive knowledge in this area....

#249  

Ok I just thought that maybe if I made a video connecting to client mode from scratch would help

#250  

I checked everything on his network and his machines. we are no further. I explained what is happening to him that his wifi access point is running at 54 mbps and explained to him how a newer access point would benefit him. We also managed to get a couple more devices connected that allowed us to video conference and remote share so that we could evaluate what is happening.

His android can connect and he was able to use his phone to connect to the robot in AP mode. unfortunately his wifi adapters on his PC were not able to do this.

He is going to pickup the same access point that I referred to Dave S. when he was having issues. He is going to pick one up tomorrow and we will continue.
