When I do a benchmark test of the Read 300 ADC I get a result of 5 reads per second. I know it use to be around 65. I thought it was because of the Limited WiFi message, but its not. I...

Wifi Limited

I have a Lenovo laptop and ever since I started using the WIFI with EZ-V4 I can connect but it is very slow, like graphs update at 1 second intervals and there is a ton of pauses. I then noticed that under the signal strength list for the WiFis the one for EZ-V4 board it says LIMITED. I googled it and I see where people say that it is a bug in...

Noisy Analog Dat On The V4

I have about 5 adc units of noise on my 256 adc analog inputs. Also the battery voltage and cpu temperature are noisy. I have checked my incoming battery voltage and it is steady. I tried to filter the analog inputs but no luck there. Thanks oops I guess I can not go back and fix my typo in the title.

Pwm Slider Question Pwm On D4 Turns D14 On And Off

I am finding PWM slider issues, heres one that I have posted in the cloud, (is this the proper way to request help?) When the PWM slider on d4 is moved up to 100%, d14 output goes high. Then when I slide the d4 PWM slider down to 0% d14 then output goes low. This happens across multiple software revs, board os and 2 different v3 boards. This can be...

Connectors, Sockets,Housing

If anyone is looking to make there own connectors you can get some nice crimpers, I use them a lot, that work on just about any pin type. They are 45 dollars, not bad considering that the one designed for a specific pin type will probably run you 250 to 300 dollars. They are at Digikey.com a company that is very nice to deal with. I also included...

question

Reload Firmware To Controller

I think I may have a corrupted os on my controller. After the last upgrade it seems that there is a delay of about a second or two and pwm controls are not acting right. The reason that I believe that I may have a corrupted os is that I may have been too far away when I did the update. I tried to reload but it says that it is already the current...

Slider Question At 45%

I hooked up two motors through a H bridge and everything seemed ok at first. I noticed that as I moved the slider up and down it had a shift in the speed on each motor. It appears that when the slider is at 45%, the ez-b output goes to 5 Volts. I thought maybe its a problem with my motors or H bridge, so I put a meter on another digital port. It...
