I am typing this for patrick because english is my primary language and I have been working with him.
He has a JD and another EZ-B v4. One of the two is able to connect to his network without any issue now, but one of them is having an issue connecting in AP mode. We cant connect via wifi from either of 2 computers to this one EZ-B v4.
There is one final piece of hardware that might make a difference, but I wont know until Friday. DJ and team, do you have any recommendations for me to try on the EZ-B V4? We have used the reset button multiple times with no good results. The EZ-B makes its announcement welcoming Patrick to the EZ-Robot revolution, and continues to flash blue.
Just so you know, Patrick does have Skype and TeamViewer installed and is familiar with how to use these.
Thank you in advance. David Cochran
David, I too have modified one of my ezbs... To the point I am pretty sure there is no warranty... However, I confirmed first that the ezb was fully functional before I made my modifications... I knew if I broke it, I would be stuck with it...
Anyway, back to the thread.... @Nomad... did you get JD (ezb) into client mode? I assume your new Win8 PC connects to your ezb with no problem... Sorry if you had mentioned that, I haven't read the entire thread yet....
We were able to get the one EZ-B into client mode with no issues. It is now in JD and functioning. I showed nomad why being in client mode is cool by demonstrating how to read an RSS feed from the internet.
JD is working for him now using the other EZB. He got to play with ARC and JD together instead of downloading an app to his android.
That's awesome, you made the right call then... He needed to upgrade his PC... Did he buy a new router as well?...
Yes, the router is still in route which will help him out drastically.
I am not so sure that some of the issues are not being caused by multiple people in the same apartment complex using the same channels on their wifi gear. I haven't lived in an apartment complex since wifi became prevalent. When I pulled up the list of wifi's in windows 7 or 8, the list was crazy long. The new access point will be able to work in different modes, allowing less congestion than the g mode that many other people are running in that building. It will also give him 300 Mbs speed instead of 54. It also has a stronger antenna. Nothing was working well the last time I connected but this time, everything with the one ezb worked very smoothly. With Wifi, who knows if that was the fact that someone wasnt home or someone wasn't doing something causing interference in another apartment or what. I hoped that it would solve the issue with the other EZB but it didn't.
The new laptop allowed him to get the ez-B onto his network, which allowed the other computer to connect.
The other thing that he did was decided to wire up some of his computers instead of using wifi. He got a network switch that is overkill but good, which helped once the V4 was on his network. He also had some issues with his monitor that he resolved.
I personally never run via wifi unless I have to. Wired is the way to go if you have a stationary computer and are able/willing to run a cable. In an apartment that is not always feasible but it looks like Nomad found a way to do this. It was a huge help so that we could mess around with the wifi network settings while keeping the computer(s) on the network for Skype and TeamViewer.

when do you have time.to do the offset whit me. cant get it wright.jd is to spastik.
thank you
I havent done this yet, as I dont have the JD for the school yet. We probably wont get it this week due to the week long holiday in China. It might be best to ask a question on a new thread for someone to explain that has done this before with JD.
I have used this on the robot that the students built, which was only 2 servos to get the head and eye aligned right.
