Welcome! And man that's exciting
I'll be keeping my eye on this project!
Does your EZ-B have a bootup chime? Or has it gone completely silent?
If it's completely silent, sometimes the screws can loosen during shipping vibration. The speaker is pressure fit, and has little springs which make the connection. If the underside case screws of the ez-b are a little loose, the springs might not be making connection. Won't hurt to either tighten them, or take the screws hour and inspect the speaker assembly
Thanks .
not even bootup chime. completely silent. I have made the breakout for audio amp. it was working completely fine yesterday. One thing did happen tho. I use a 10a fuse for the main power and it blew when i first test the motor at full load. after that i didnt do anything untill today. when i power it up , no sound. not even when i use back the stock speaker under the controller
Sounds like a short might have popped the audio amp - good news is the bottom half of the ez-b v4 pcb is a cost effective replacement vs getting a whole new one! Contact Us and we'll get you setup
any other way or quick fix ? i dont want to have my dalek first appearance without "EXTERMINATING' people .
Use a wireless speaker? I think your only option is the bottom board replacement.
Here's some latest pictures
The build log
*cant wait to get the replacement board and run at full function
This is one of the coolest robots ever. Nice work reproducing it. It looks perfect.
