j
Next up, Roli!
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
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.
Is the computer you are using wifi or network cable?
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.
thanks d.cohran
The LEARN section provides step by step instructions. Please consult the Learn section here: http://www.ez-robot.com/Tutorials/
Actually, what is the ultimate goal? do you want to run this in AP mode and not be on your network or do you want this as a device on your network?
the mails comes chaken in so its diff to follow .
jd on pc
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 i see jd's eye tonight am very happy.
d.cohran thanks very much for your support.i will needed.
do i need to choose same ports ?or can i choose?
dj left&right arms are diff.
so whits is correct.
The one I showed you is from here
EZCloud
Left is on the left side of your body.
Right is on the right side of your body.
.
in the assembly says R arm D8_D9_D10
LEFT D?_D6_D7
right side is 7, 8 and 9
ok gonna put the wires on now.
i can check rr
RR it stays desame.
are degrees in your pic also good?
I would download the one from the cloud now that you have yours configured like that.
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.
Six and Roli are much easier and do not need instructions like JD does.
i gess the batt will soon be fully charged.
all wires are good connected.
i download the project from the cloud.
howlong does it take to get the batt fully charged?
first charger bolt leds where on red and green.
the second only red,allreddy 2.50 houres still red.
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.
what can i do .i can see the ez-b4 in wifi connection.but it dont connect.
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?
and the android i try it allreddy also nothing
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.
This is completely outside of ARC at this point and is in your wifi config for your android.
do you have skype? wait, I dont have skype from here.
so from your android, when you look at the wifi networks available, do you see the ezb v4 one listed there?
Somewhat prophetic....
ontop you see the ez-b4.under that chould be the sidd number,that is my,
wifi SSID=6EF95 .but it says same name ez-b4
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.
on the android connect to http://192.168.1.1 in the web browser.
you need to get to this web page (HTTP://192.168.1.1) for the two networks to become one network. Stick with me...
mine says Internet and looks like a globe. There are a few steps we need to do before getting into ARC.
you forgot the : that is between the P and the /
if so, now the video shows what to enter to get this onto your network.
wifi client mode on the left
enter your SSID for your network - Your SSID is either telenet-6EF95 or just 6EF95 (hard to read from image)
enter your security key or password for your network
click connect. It should reboot and quickly connect to your network.
because you have this on your android device, you can watch the video on your computer and configure with the android. Follow the steps in the video and you will be good, just do it from the android.
ok thanks cohran
batt are empty
just kidding. Good luck Nomad. I gotta go. I will check back in on your progress in about 4 hours.
thanks bolt
@d.cochran... You're the network guy. Most of what I know about this network stuff I learned here on the forum.... Do we really need more of the blind leading the blind here ... lol
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.
We know the robots work great! Now it's time for us to ensure you can also get them working as great as we do
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.
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.
have a goodnight
i just checked it again and also the wallsoket adaptor get warm
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.
thanks
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
are you able to connect to pc and android?
i cant get it connect
What things have you tried, while connecting your JD
i win7
Then you see a network named EZ-B v4 #### four numbers after it,
Then you click that and connect to it, I this is where your issue comes out right?
@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...
yes i try that but no succses.only on android it connect ,but not to webserver.
on the android its ez-b4xxx and it connects fast.here is the problem the phone,
is not fast enough to look for the webserver 192.168.1.1
My last ditch suggestion was for Nomad to find, buy, borrow or steal a Win 8 laptop and try again from the beginning....
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.
d.cohran i have always time for you.
rr no money to by anything
Good luck
Richard
i cant get it connect cause the phone is to slow.
i can connect the android and works whithout the webserver
Patrick,
Here is where I would like to begin so that we can be on the same page.
Press the button on the top of the EZB V4. Tell me what the EZB says back to you when you do this.
Now on your android, go to your settings page and then go to your wireless network settings. you should see the EZB V4 network.
Connect to that network.
Let me know when you get there.
Let me know when you get there
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.
Im looking for "DINGGG! I have successfully connected to your network"
just wiggle a little whit the ez-b and now i have blinking blue led
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
4. 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.
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)
how do i see howfar the batt is?
yes its on ez cloud
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
Code:
you will see the current voltage in the variable watcher listed under $voltage.
the lower left corner is the temp of the EZ-B
the next one over is the voltage of the battery.
Are you using your JD Android project?
sofar i cant accses webserver whit android
i need to make a new one and delete the old ones apps
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.
ok i will charge the batt now.see you later thank you
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?
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.
also the android i have is very slow.
You do not need to be a programmer
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
3) what virus scanners do you have?
4) can you take a snapshot of the wifi error from your PC?
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....
@nomad... Hold off on the new pc....
can you frase that diff?
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.
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....
there's no money for a new pc.
this means more then 1000 dollar for totally nothing. *mad*
dj is this thru?
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.
i have here another acses point new one from linksys whit cd-rom
is it possible to use two accses points?
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.
is the Linksys the one you are using now?
Patrick go to this page and download the app. let me know when this is done.
the one am useing now is d-link cause that one was requested from telenet.
a,bautista thanks for helping.but lets us try one at the time
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.
and saw some awesome things i ussually not see.
but sofar all looking good.
Abautista thank you for offering help.
am
i have a video.
I have to confirm that the access point and new router I installed when I was having connection problems really solved my connection problems. d.cochran truly helped me with his suggestions.
sofar the android is reddy.
