Not Able To Update Over Usb Serial

Im trying to update the firmware of the EZ-B inside my robot. Its connected to the PC over a USB-Serial converter. Every time it just hangs at Uploaded. However, when I switch to the bluetooth module, it works fine. Any reason why?

Heres a little summary for you: There is 1 final video still to come

Office Camera Suggestion

Hi DJ et al, Maybe you could add a timestamp to the stream/clock on the page of the EZ-Office camera. It would be useful so people in other timezones (like me) dont have to keep converting the times

Html Error

I doubt it will make any difference, but when I looked at the EZ-Office page source to find out what script you use for refreshing I found a little typo in the code. At line 17, it says lt;script language=quot;javakscriptquot; type=quot;text/javascriptquot;gt; The type is correct, but the language should be without the k. I think most browsers...

Contact Dj

Hi DJ, I sent an email to support@ez-robot.com about a week ago and got a respons within a couple of days saying it had been forwarded to you. I know youre a busy man and I really appreciate it but did you by any chance get to read it yet?

Hey DJ, Are you aware of your ez-b video being used in DealExtremes video advertising an arduino bluetooth car?

Bluetooth

Hi DJ, Just a little question out of curiosity: At what baud rate is the bluetooth module configured?

Ez-Mini

Hey DJ, Ive got a cool idea assuming the IC on the EZ-B is a Pic18F97j60: Could i design a EZ-Mini that uses the SMD version of the IC? If you could provide me with the schematic (dont need the PIC code) i could design a example. What do you think?

Map() Feature

Hey DJ, Is there a map feature in ARC? I have a voltage divider setup to measure the battery voltage and i would like to show the voltage on my Omnibots LCD. Now the value is 0-10v in stead of 5v so i would like to map the ADC value from 0-255(is 255 the max value of the EZ-B?) to 0-10v.

Usb-Serial Adapter

Hi DJ, For my omnibot, i am using a USB to Serial converter from SparkFun. However, since the newest firmware update, i havent been able to connect. Ive tried multiple converters but all fail... Did you change anything?

Hey, Does anybody have a tray i can use for my omnibot? I am willing to pay for it.

Re: I2c Help

Hi DJ, In your i2c help, you mentioned that the address is 7 bits correct me if im wrong but if youve got bit 0-7 then isnt it 8 bits? Let me explain: bit 0 - 1 bit bit 1 - 1 bit bit 2 - 1 bit bit 3 - 1 bit bit 4 - 1 bit bit 5 - 1 bit bit 6 - 1 bit bit 7 - 1 bit You see? in total, youve got 8 bits now. Edit: wait im confused blush please delete...

What is the maximum voltage the EZ-B can take? I have a 7.2v accu pack here that i want to use with my EZ-B but dont know if it will work

Status LED Fail

Hey! Yesterday i was driving around with my robot powered by EZ-B when it got stuck in forward (not the software but the ez-b itself) and i couldnt stop it, i rebooted and it got stuck in turning. Now i powered it up but the Bluetooth module light wont come on, then it finally came on and everything works as normal but the status led doesnt work....

BT Question

I have a question, If i hook this up to my arduino, will i be able to configure it as a bluetooth COM-port so i can upload sketches to it via BT and send it serial data?

CHEAP Servo Wires

I just bought 2 packs of 10 servo wires for only $5 (3!) at BuyInCoins First, i bought it from ebay and i left positive feedback so i got the 10% off coupon 10%eBay2011 I know this may sound as a advertisement but i just want to share this EXTREMELY cheap offer, you can also buy 15cm cables for even less money!

Sparkfun Serlcd

Hey everyone! I finally got my EZ-B (after 5,5 weeks) and i am trying to get my lcd with sparkfuns serial backpack working, i found THIS great arduino site. I adapted the code to this: SendSerial(D13,9600,0xFE) //command flag SendSerial(D13,9600,0x01) //Clear LCD Sleep(10) SendSerial(D13,9600,0x7c) //command flag for backlight stuff...
