Uart Connecting To An Arduino
I'm very new to both the ez-b4 and Arduino and need basic help or advice. With my robot I want to be able to control LEDs through an Arduino. I have a Mega and with it I can add more LED functions to it as I learn. I've been reading a lot of posts on this and I took in so much info, I think I'm just dangerous and not knowledgeable. I want to start...

Serial/Usb Connectivity
I really wanted to convert the wifi to USB conductivity on my EZB4 to connect directly to my pc, but after reading the tutorial the USB converter uses the camera port. Did I miss were you can still use the ARC camera with the USB conversion. Thanks, merne

Neo Pixel Ring Tutorial
ooops! @DJ I was trying to upload the Arduino sketch, again into this tutorial and now after saving it, it is no longer public. I can open it but it doesn't show in the list of tutorials and the title has a line though it. What did I do wrong?

Ezb And Leds
I wish to control LEDs by EZB . I saw in a tutorial leds connected directly to digital outputs without current limiting resistors. The leds I'd use sink 70 mA at 3,3 V . I don't think EZB could withstand such currents ! EZB specs only say the pins are TTL compatible but don't say what's the allowable current (high and low level). What's the...

question
Hbridge
I have a Roli HBridge that has stopped working Forward on the Right Tread only. I have checked all wiring on EZB4 and the Hbridge. After a short run(3-4) seconds in Forward the Heat Sinked IC becomes very hot, enough to burn the skin. The Hbridge intermittently cuts in and out during this time. Any suggestions? Thankyou
