Good evening. Well i been printing myself off a new robot based on six. Its going awesome far as i can tell. but im having troubles connecting the v3 board to my computers over bluetooth even though my tablet connects rite up and stays connected. Turned off the firewall and tried every trick i could think up but its been no good. Anyone else have problems or suggestions for connecting windows 7 or windows 8.1 over bluetooth? or can i calibrate the servos with a tablet? ya know set them all to 90 degrees?
Thanks Ron
P.S. Im still printing some cool parts off so its not finished. The plastic cover is a cd case lid and its going to get a camera inside that hopefully. It will also get some fancy doodads ontop the lid im sure. I plan to sling the battery underneath have some velcro straps under there already.
Thanks again

What does the debug in ARC say when the connection drops?
I can never get that far rich. The ezb board never does actually connect with the laptop like the computer is saying. the led's never stop flashing and 5 seconds after the computer shows its paired it shows its disconnected.
Pairing with windows and connecting to ARC are two different things... You only pair once... So when you say it drops connection 5 seconds after pairing... do you mean pairing with Windows or when you try and connect within ARC (on a com port)? The led won't stop flashing until connected to ARC, not when you are pairing with windows....

From my earlier post...
As Richard R has said, pairing and connecting are two different things. It sounds like you are not connecting. If you are, debug will give you info on why it failed, paste that here.
I think i figured it out..... this time ARC said it required a firmware upgrade (never said that before) so im upgrading now.
If it's reported that then it will have made a connection to the EZ-B and your problem should be solved.
I got it to connect and after ARC found it and told me of the firmware update it needed. after the updated firmware loaded up it connects fine now every time.
Now i can wire up the servos and start playing.
I did find something that was sort of confusing in the building instruction tutorials. When you change the view its all messed up. The top view is called front the bottom view is rear and vice verse top view is looking at the right and bottom is looking at the left
