Screeching Ezb V4

Hi, have just unpackaged a brand new JD procured for our library education programme through State Library of Queensland, Australia. Upon switch on, the EZ-B v4 cycles through it's lights and gets to the flashing blue as normal, but all the time makes a high pitched squealing/ screeching sound, which does not cease. There is no normal start up...

Microsoft Emotion And Face Api Plugin Too?

@DJ Thanks so much for the other MS API plugins... Cognitive vision works pretty good... I was wondering (and not to get greedy or anything) but would it be possible to create an Emotion and Face plugin as well?.... These api's are fantastic and add so much extra vision functionality to ARC... But If not, again thanks for what you have done so...

Power - Not Working - 3D Printed Six Robot

Hello All, I am building my own Six robot with 3D printed parts and MG996R servos. I have sadly run into some issues. First off is a power issue from what I believe. I am using a 6xAA battery pack to run my robot. The total amount of power it is delivering is 7.4 - 7.8 volts and 15 - 16 amps. Am I giving too many amps? When all 12 servos are...

I Think My Ezb Has Fried

I believe my EZB has fried. Tonight it refused to be accessed over wifi and it won't reset. I've attached a video so you can see what it's doing upon an attempted reset. I went ahead and ordered another one because I don't have time for a resolution for this unit, but if it is able to be resolved I can use it on a future project. Any thoughts?

How Much Weight Can Six Carry?

Hi, all! I've been toying with a retro-design robot. I know he'll be EZ-Robot based with a dome head and either a cylindrical or square body that will have a retractable arm either in his torso or attached on the side. His propulsion is where I'm undecided. At first, I thought a Wall-E type treads. Then I saw an omni-directional chassis that is...

Can't Connect To Home Netgear Home Wifi

I can't get the Ezb to connect to my home WIFI. My computer doesn't have WIFI so I need it to connect in client mode. From my cell phone I connect to the Ezb, go to the IP address and select client mode. I typed in my SSID and password, It's on a sticker on my router and I type it in the same caps as on it and the ez says can't connect to network....
