Hi Guys,
I still have my Omnibot project just sitting for the moment, I really wanted to buy the EZB to have in an Omnibot 2000. Well today I went ahead and picked up this guy and brought him home.
Will do a work in progress post with this one and hopefully try and up date it as the project takes shape. First steps will be cleaning.
Enjoying the ride in the Jeep:
Thanks Wayne

Hi Guys,
Received my kit from Hong Kong which for some reason I didn't know it was coming from and had to pay extra for the delivery. Will be mindful when ordering but I did think it was coming from out west for some reason.
I uploaded a couple of related Unboxing video's and thought I would add them to the thread.

Will update on what happens next
Great! I am curious to see where you are going with this!
I'm surprised the back of the camera came out so easy. Very cool packaging.
Hi Guys
Not much progress in the couple of weeks, had some problems with the kit and not sure what to do. Even though I know about RC servos and have some experience with building computers and other projects for some reason I've had some bad luck.
At first I had 2 servos that weren't working but the others were ok, I emailed about the 2 servo's and the suggestion was to send them back for testing which was good. I thought it best to just re-check everything but now none of the servo's work and for a time the blue light was not turning on. The board or first heat sink seems to get quite hot but the fuse is fine.
Not sure how to fix this as I am not an electronics expert in terms of soldering or messing around with circuits which is one of the reasons I'm looking into Robotics in the first place as I want to learn !
Anyway, right now my project is on hold as I have a bunch of servo's and a board that is not working at all and don't know what to do as in between the moments I get to do anything hobby wise I'm trying to get help.
The heatsinks do get warm quickly. Its a great idea to ziptie a good 40mm fan to it. I have not played with ezb yet.
Shot another video, my servo's don't work for me. I have been trying to just connect one at a time and they aren't working.
