Sendserial Command Not Working

Hi, I am trying to have the EZ-B send commands to my Roomba. I have tried the Roomba Control in ARC. I have also tried using the SendSerial Command via the script console. In fact, I see no output at all from something like SendSerial(DX,115200,"hello") I can command my roomba via a serial cable, so I know that this is not on the roomba...
question

Ez-B Input Voltage Range?

I can't find this information on the site. DJ Sures, what is the acceptable input voltage range for the EZ-B? I'd love to run it off a gel cell. I noticed that there are 4 and 6 cell AA battery holders shipped with the EZ-B so I assume the voltage is regulated onboard. Can it handle 12V input? Thanks!

Up until now I've been using some Phidgets and Sabertooth motor controllers, tied together with custom code and Roborealm. I think ez-b should make this whole process a lot, well,...

Ez-Mini
