Ez-B 4 Stopped Working

Received my log awaited order. Glad it arrived. I contacted you as soon as I opened the box and found I was missing a camera and had a servo instead. I believe we have this straightened out and you are sending me my missing camera. I just got around to trying out my new EZ-B hardware and have found two additional problems with my order. One of the...

Questions About The Ez-B V4 Board Specs - Servos, Processors

Does The Android App Handle The Heavy Lifting? Or Do You Still Need A Pc Involve

Edited for clarity & spelling/grammar. I have not yet bought an EZb, but as soon as I can, I plan to. I'm not clear how things work if the Android app gets involved. If I program a bot and want to make use of the Android app, does the Android device do the remote processing, aka "the thinking"? Or does it only act as a...

Every time I update to the latest version, the icon on the task bar turns to a blank white icon and when I click it I get an error message that the application has been moved or removed, and I need to unpin and re-pin ARC....
