I have accidentally blown 3 or 4 top com boards on the Ezb4 over the last 7 years when touching speaker wire to the main 12 volt battery, makes a loud pop and then it seems fine with flashing blue light but refuses to establish connection to Arc and no more speaker sounds. IS the case again just now made same mistake.I have another EZb that still...

RESET NETWORK WIFI

This could be a dumb question but has something changed for pushing a button on EZB4 to reset network and then getting on the EZB website to configure AP mode back to Client mode? there used to be a where you click at the top left of connection window that would go to the configuration web page, Now cant find it? IP address also not working when I...

Now I have 2 type of Big Amp current battery a 7.4 Lipo 5000 Ma 50c burst charge( running great 5 years no problems) but I also...

How Do I Record The Screen?

This question I could not find,video related...I have seen video before DJ capturing the real time video feed from Ez cam and Arc screen all at same time. Is that the button I sometimes see in camera skill? Or do I need to download a different screen capture skill?

Electronic Resistance

Just wondering, I was thinking about using the Roomba 650 battery power to power up the EZB tiny and I heard the power can go from 15 to 22 volts.So I know it works with the larger EZBv4,already tried that successfully.I now want to add my Terminator skull that uses automotive 12 volt light bulbs for the red eyes.The theory is that bulbs can act...

Lowest Voltage Specs

Just wondering if the EZBv4 could run as low as 5 volts on a voltage regulator 3 amp circuit taking input voltage from 12 volt SLA battery? Or what is the lowest voltage it could run if no servos are connected just a few signal outputs?

Does ARC Beta Still Support Ezb V3?

Trying to use Latte Panda to connect Bluetooth to older EZB-3.  Win 10 does seem to see EZB-3 and assigns com ports asks for the 1234 pairing code but then open ARC Beta and I dont see how to select com ports,  before I used to see a support button for EZB V3 but I cant find that either now in the Beta? Also tried the Ez3 firmware update but it...

Avg Virus Causing Start Up Questions

The title should say start up problems,not questions but.....I was having problems since the second last update connecting EZB to EZ builder windows.So it seems the only easy way is to turn off the AVG protection,then no problems with EZB connecting in the EZ builder software. So I just updated now to the newest updates and still same problem,AVG...

When Will Mobile Ultrasonic Radar Scan Be Updated?

just wondering about the Ultrasonic scanner available on windows EZ builder but for mobile it always says not yet supported. Will this be added to mobile app? As it would make the mobile scripting and Blockly much faster to program and the radar scanner graphic would be a big help to see if the sensors are actually pinging. I am currently using...

Multiple Ultrasonic Sonars

My bottom board came in today replacement for the one I burned out last month trying to hook up second ultrasonic sensor. This time I did it correctly by shutting off the main battery switch first, LOL! So I noticed there is an increment value that can be raised higher for the sonar radar scanner. I noticed putting both sensor increments at 10...

Hiding The Wires Idea For Robot Project

Just a Quick update on the paranormal Rad robot project. I wanted a quick way to hide the wires and holes I drilled. So I got this idea to use chrome duct tape from watching the bogus moon landing NASA space craft and many of the robot probes. Only difference is I did not use the same NASA Gold Tin foil ,duct tape and chicken wire ,LOL! I am ready...

Robo-Cams

It is needed for this robot to have a microphone so I was testing my cell phone camera and IP web-cam app ,it works too well for picking up sounds ,it must pause to listen in the scripting,Problem comes with movements ,to get high frame rate I need to use lowest setting resolution. A higher resolution looks great but gets a bit choppy I was just...

Ezb-Rad Robot Ready For Field Investigating All By Itself

Absolutely thrilled at how easy it is to program the paranormal self-investigating project Rad robot using the EZB-4 system .

Rad-Bot With Sonar Progress

started to actually test robot with ultrasonic sensor to avoid walls/obstacles.I think i need to add real servo motor sweeping with the sonar sensor, though the Laptop is showing some sort of radar sweeping picking up the pings,not sure how that works when the sonar is just taped on the front for now.Also need to modify the obstacle avoidance ,so...

Power Connection Ezb

My Rad 1.0 project robot is nearly completed but have one serious question about causing power damage to either the 4 wire H bridge pwm or the EZB_4. After completion of successfully wire soldering to original rad 6 volt motors to H Bridge which is sharing the same dual 7.2 Nimh battery packs with Ezb_4, I also rewired the original Rad wires and...

Ezb Formula Race Car?

I was thinking about getting this 8 year old Giant race car to work with my Lap top,it is huge about the size of my kitchen table and really,really fast,needs a huge empty parking lot to use with Radio control but thinking how neat it would be to watch Live video and drive it with cell phone app or Lap top.Has anyone done this and is the EZB camera...

Great job, I may go back and ask the...
