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

You are sure to have followed this tutorial?
Windows may report the Bluetooth connection as "disconnected" - but that is because you haven't connected in ARC yet.
Once you pair the EZ-B to the computer, load ARC, select the COM port and press the CONNECT button.
Its all good now DJ.
Windows was saying that it paired with the bluetooth module on the board but ARC connection panel would not show any com ports open.... it only had the ip addresses listed. I had tried manually typing the com 3 and nothing. com 4 and nothing.. so i would re pair the bluetooth over and over and i even re installed all the bluetooth drivers for the computer. Finally that last time windows opened up the com ports and ARC saw the coms and told me it needed new firmware and it has worked fine sense then.
brw-racing, I like the looks of your new robot.
It sounds like you have things going now? Sometimes I have to re-boot pc after updates. Sometimes lately it might take several attempts to connect to EZB3s. Looking forward to any updates on your new robot.. Steve S
Thanks Steve Its all going now. It looks really awesome in person much better than the photo's iv posted. I like the clear plastic dome the best... Without it looked like a six legged walking ashtray :-)
