I am so happy for you. Great video, 4 7/8 stars, lol. j

Zap Brannigan · Answer

Awesome! It's good to see these things start to make it into peoples hands. Next up, Roli!

Nomad 6R · Answer

sorry for late respons.was trying to get him connected. but he dont connect.i see him in wifi connection,blue led is blinking. reset but no luck.so what do i need to look for. thanks

CochranRobotics · Answer

are you in AP mode or client mode?

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

Flashing blue led indicates AP mode...

CochranRobotics · Answer

what are you connecting with? is it a pc or laptop? Is it connecting to the internet currently through Wifi? If so, and you only have one wifi network card, that wont work. you will need to disconnect from you wifi and connect to the EZ-B. Once you answer these, we can proceed.

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

Dude, I think I have found your problem... Your pants are too short.... Is the computer you are using wifi or network cable?

Nomad 6R · Answer

destop

CochranRobotics · Answer

@Richard R, that is what happened when he lost control of his bodily functions when the door bell rang and he saw the DHL van.

CochranRobotics · Answer

okay, is it connecting with Wifi or a wired network?

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

Is your desktop wifi or network cable? You need to use a wifi compatible computer/tablet or android device etc

Nomad 6R · Answer

wifi rr

CochranRobotics · Answer

Richard, I gotta get back to work. See if he can hit the web server on the device. I bet you are going down the right path. I always config mine with a smartphone first to get onto the network. Good luck guys.

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

Antivirus running? Do you have another wifi enabled device/computer to try and connect to the EZB?

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

... Maybe a moot point, but have you followed the steps in DJs connection video here in the Learn section?

Nomad 6R · Answer

i have android and norton thanks d.cohran

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

Although I am getting much better at the networking stuff, I think it's best that I step back and let Alan, Rich and/or d.cochran help you out... I just don't want to steer you in the wrong direction. Providing pointless or misinformation won't help you much....

DJ Sures · Answer

Here is the connection video  The LEARN section provides step by step instructions. Please consult the Learn section here: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/

Nomad 6R · Answer

thanks dj

CochranRobotics · Answer

Nomad, do you have an android device? I think you do. Actually, what is the ultimate goal? do you want to run this in AP mode and not be on your network or do you want this as a device on your network?

Nomad 6R · Answer

dj i have a question .the wires from the grippers are chort? the mails comes chaken in so its diff to follow . jd on pc

DJ Sures · Answer

There should be 2 Extension Cable in the JD box

Nomad 6R · Answer

ok found them.

Aislinn · Answer

AWESOME video nomad! haha your pictures were awesome too. We love seeing you guys unbox your Revolution products, it makes everyone here so happy.

Nomad 6R · Answer

aislin thank you.soon more video's will comes.batt are charging now.

Nomad 6R · Answer

the charger get real hot?is this normal?

CochranRobotics · Answer

is the battery hot?

Nomad 6R · Answer

no the charger

CochranRobotics · Answer

I saw that you got 2 chargers in your video. I would try using the other charger to see if you have the same issue with that one. The charger and batteries that I have like the ones you got do not get hot. Hot charging lipo battery can be very dangerous. Please try the other charger.

DJ Sures · Answer

The charger will get quite warm and sometimes very hot. Make sure your robot is turned off while charging

Nomad 6R · Answer

i change the charger and this one is cold

DJ Sures · Answer

It might be cold because the battery is now charged from the other charger

CochranRobotics · Answer

Nomad, I would just wait until the battery is all used up again and try it with this charger. Also, make sure not to run your batteries down any lower than about 6.6 volts. Doing so could damage the battery. (Technically you can go down to 6 volts but why push it?)

Nomad 6R · Answer

thats why it possible not connect to wifi. if i see jd's eye tonight am very happy.

CochranRobotics · Answer

Nomad, Did you get him charged up and on the network?

Nomad 6R · Answer

he still charging.but the wires are all connected. d.cohran thanks very much for your support.i will needed.

Nomad 6R · Answer

d.cohran do i need to choose same ports ?or can i choose?

CochranRobotics · Answer

If you are using the sample from eZ-robot, you will want to use the ports they used. If not, when you expect a leg to move, he is going to smack himself in the face

CochranRobotics · Answer

if you want to use different ports, you can, as long as a digital stays a digital and so on. It just will mean that you will need to modify the ARC app to use the new port numbers. This would be in any auto position controls, scripts and anything else that uses an input or output other than sound and video.

Nomad 6R · Answer

ok i will change them and use original.

DJ Sures · Answer

Use the EZ-Robot Instructions to wire the robot. It tells you where to connect the wire in the top left for each EZ-Bit

Nomad 6R · Answer

dj if you look my pic you see left upper arm no port?

CochranRobotics · Answer

Nomad 6R · Answer

i checked the assembly from dj & yours d.cohran,they are diff from eachother. dj left&right arms are diff.  so whits is correct.

CochranRobotics · Answer

The one I posted is from the project that is on the cloud. i will do some digging for you and see if I cant verify. The one I showed you is from here EZCloud

DJ Sures · Answer

Use the latest project in ARC. We are updating the cloud files now.

CochranRobotics · Answer

Ah, my bad. Sorry about the confusion.

Nomad 6R · Answer

all is fine ,am very focus now haha

CochranRobotics · Answer

I updated my pic above to show the correct ports.

DJ Sures · Answer

The cloud apps have been updated to the most recent

DJ Sures · Answer

I do not know what you mean by "his left and right arms are different". His left and right is the same as your left and right. Also, make sure you have the latest app that is in ARC. Left is on the left side of your body. Right is on the right side of your body.

Nomad 6R · Answer

so pic from d.coran is correct?  .

CochranRobotics · Answer

mine shows D4 there. What version of the ARC software are you running?

Nomad 6R · Answer

as you can see the latest version.2014.09.19.00

CochranRobotics · Answer

Its wierd that it shows up on mine but not yours. Anyway, the information you listed earlier is correct. You should be all good. Let me know when your ready to get this guy on your network and I will do what I can to help you with that.

DJ Sures · Answer

nomad, it appears your project is out of date for some reason. During a re-install the project should be updated. It doesn't appear to have been updated. Perhaps you will need to get it from the cloud or reinstall ARC.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i just reinstall ARC. in the assembly says R arm D8_D9_D10 LEFT D?_D6_D7

CochranRobotics · Answer

Left is 4, 5 and 6 right side is 7, 8 and 9

Nomad 6R · Answer

D.COHRAN thanks means dj assembly in mine builder is not correct. ok gonna put the wires on now.

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

Mine also says D4 for upper left arm.... did you sync your ez bit library (not sure if that has anything to do with it)?

Nomad 6R · Answer

wires are connected now. i can check rr RR it stays desame.

Nomad 6R · Answer

d.cohran are degrees in your pic also good?

CochranRobotics · Answer

those were for one frame of a movement. I would download the one from the cloud now that you have yours configured like that.

DJ Sures · Answer

You want the servo legs to be perfect straight when set to 90. Use the Servo Fine Tune to adjust the legs to be straight at 90. And use the Servo Fine Tune to adjust the feet to be straight flat at 90 Use the + and - buttons on the leg servos to make them perfectly straight at 90. The offset will increase/decrease to help you align the servos. You can save the fine tune settings for next time.

Nomad 6R · Answer

ah ok i try.

DJ Sures · Answer

We will be publishing how-to videos next week. So if you are having a few issues, bare with us as we get our instructions together for JD. Six and Roli are much easier and do not need instructions like JD does.

Nomad 6R · Answer

thank you dj for all the help. i gess the batt will soon be fully charged. all wires are good connected. i download the project from the cloud. howlong does it take to get the batt fully charged?

CochranRobotics · Answer

It does make it interesting for my class. I am trying to figure out which ones to have different groups use. Does Roli use DC motors and an H-Bridge or servos inside him for his tracks?

CochranRobotics · Answer

Nomad, it should only take about 1 1/3 hours to charge the battery. did one of the two lights on the charger go out? If so, it is charged.

Nomad 6R · Answer

d.cohran first charger bolt leds where on red and green. the second only red,allreddy 2.50 houres still red.

CochranRobotics · Answer

I see h-bridge.

CochranRobotics · Answer

when one light goes out, it is charged. If both lights are on, it is not charged. The guy helping me with my class has my charger like that one, but I thought this is correct. I think there was a piece of paper that came with mine that told me that. in any event, it is a 1 amp charger and a 1.3 amp battery. it should charge it in 1.3 hours or so.

Nomad 6R · Answer

ah ok. what can i do .i can see the ez-b4 in wifi connection.but it dont connect.

CochranRobotics · Answer

cool, okay so back to that one. does your desktop connect via both a wired connection and a wifi connection or just a wifi connection? Do you have an android phone that you could use to connect and configure JD to be on your wifi network? I find this much easier to do. Do you have your network SSID and Password?

Nomad 6R · Answer

only wifi and the android i try it allreddy also nothing

CochranRobotics · Answer

okay, so press the reset button on the top of the ez-b this will make sure it is back to the beginning. It should welcome you to the ez-robot revolution and some other things. If you hear that, then next try to connect with the android to the ez-b in wifi. you will see it as a separate wifi network.

CochranRobotics · Answer

let me know if you are connected to that network or if you get a message saying something different. This is completely outside of ARC at this point and is in your wifi config for your android.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i try the reset too.nothing.but i found this looks not correct.

CochranRobotics · Answer

okay, so your ssid is the entire name shown there. do you have skype? wait, I dont have skype from here. so from your android, when you look at the wifi networks available, do you see the ezb v4 one listed there?

Zap Brannigan · Answer

Quote: @Rich and @Alan.... How are your fingers guys? Tongue Patrick is about to get his EZ Robot JD..... Somewhat prophetic....

CochranRobotics · Answer

My Great grand parents were from Belgium, but I have lost the ability to read the OS screens in Belgium so you will have to tell me what they say. Us Americans have are not good at speaking multiple languages, especially when we are from the midwest part of our country.

Nomad 6R · Answer

thats ok. ontop you see the ez-b4.under that chould be the sidd number,that is my, wifi SSID=6EF95 .but it says same name ez-b4

CochranRobotics · Answer

okay, what you are seeing is two different networks. The EZB is in its own network right now. We want to get them to become one network. From your Android wifi settings page, do you see both of these networks? By configuring the EZB with the android, your PC wont be getting kicked off of the internet and thus will be able to continue this conversation more easily.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i can see bolt on android

CochranRobotics · Answer

can you connect to ez-b on android now? once connected, try to access the web server on the ezb by going to https://192.168.1.1 in the browser on the android.

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes i can connect to the android.video is black/white and flikering

CochranRobotics · Answer

okay, get out of the ezb application and just connect to the ez-b with a web browser. on the android connect to https://192.168.1.1 in the web browser.

CochranRobotics · Answer

you will see a webpage for the ezb v4 come up. let me know when you see that. you need to get to this web page (https://192.168.1.1) for the two networks to become one network. Stick with me...

Nomad 6R · Answer

i dont see it wher to put the adres in,but i get error message cant find ez cloud

CochranRobotics · Answer

okay. You are in the ARC application. I need you to get into the web browser on your android. mine says Internet and looks like a globe. There are a few steps we need to do before getting into ARC.

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

Open the android's web browser and type in https://192.168.1.1 .... just like you would with any other web site....

Nomad 6R · Answer

is that HTTP//192.168.1.1 ?

CochranRobotics · Answer

https://192.168.1.1 you forgot the : that is between the P and the /

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

Did you watch DJs video on this?

Nomad 6R · Answer

AH

CochranRobotics · Answer

his computer cant connect to it, so we are going with the android. Step by step instructions aren't available for anything other than a computer....

CochranRobotics · Answer

so you got the website, right?

if so, now the video shows what to enter to get this onto your network.

wifi client mode on the left

enter your SSID for your network - Your SSID is either telenet-6EF95 or just 6EF95 (hard to read from image) enter your security key or password for your network

click connect. It should reboot and quickly connect to your network.

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

... I know, but it is the same process.... using a web browser to access the ezb's web server.... I was hoping Nomad would understand what he was actually doing instead of just coping what you have been telling him...

Nomad 6R · Answer

am in

CochranRobotics · Answer

Yea, I think its more worn out and inexperience. I think once he sees this he will get it, but he has been working on getting JD up and going all day and this is the last step toward getting him connected to the computer. Once he is connected, I think he will probably not sleep for days though

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

Nomad.... SSID is the name of your wifi network, in case you didn't know....

CochranRobotics · Answer

Nomad, because you have this on your android device, you can watch the video on your computer and configure with the android. Follow the steps in the video and you will be good, just do it from the android.

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes i did know.. ok thanks cohran batt are empty

CochranRobotics · Answer

I have got to tap out. I have to go somewhere with family. Tag @Richard R, your it:) just kidding. Good luck Nomad. I gotta go. I will check back in on your progress in about 4 hours.

Nomad 6R · Answer

ok by.and i need some sleep,i know what to look for. thanks bolt

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

My typing sucks (2 finger variety).... @Nomad.... you're almost there.... We can pick this up in the morning..... You and JD should get a good night sleep... @d.cochran... You're the network guy. Most of what I know about this network stuff I learned here on the forum.... Do we really need more of the blind leading the blind here ... lol

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes thanks RR

CochranRobotics · Answer

lol, Its good. this part isnt really networking at this point. He is so close to having jd working on his network. Also, this will be a great tutorial to send someone to if they are willing to read. its basically a start to finish on getting JD setup and on the network. DJ and team are working on a tutorial now as he said earlier. I think some of this information could be really good there. A lot of the time when writing documentation for things, I find it most helpful to show the documentation to people who are not skilled in an area. I find that they find the things that I made assumptions on. Patrick is a very patient person and a perfect candidate in my book for reviewing the documentation on JD. This has also given me a chance to see the things that I need to cover in my class as we wont get any of our bots until Roli is ready. It also helps me to know which students to place on which platform first. This has really helped me out. I also have seen things that I didnt know existed in ARC until last night. That is my bad for not staying up to speed on some of the changes that have been put in place, but great to discover.

DJ Sures · Answer

The last few days have been great for determining what videos and tutorials are necessary. The advantage to having preorder customers on here is we can work out what's needed in tutorials. We know the robots work great! Now it's time for us to ensure you can also get them working as great as we do

Nomad 6R · Answer

goodmorning i wanted to charge the batt this morning and same happen like the other. bolt leds are on red/green and charger gets hot and smelly. what does this mean? on the bottem from the charger is a explanation what the leds mean. red is charger gets power from wallsocket green is charging.so bolt must lid up. when fully charged green goes out.

CochranRobotics · Answer

is it the power block for the charger that plugs into the wall that gets hot, or the blue metal part of the charger? I am about to head to bed, but saw this. As long as the battery isnt getting warm then I don't believe there would be an issue, but if the power plug into the wall is getting hot, I might be a bit concerned.

Nomad 6R · Answer

the blue one have a goodnight i just checked it again and also the wallsoket adaptor get warm

CochranRobotics · Answer

I think you will be fine. I didnt notice mine getting hot but I have a different charger that I normally use that I can control a lot more. Not being able to smell what it is that you are smelling, i have to assume that it is something that is put on the metal that "burns off". I expect that this smell would go away after a few charges. Good luck this morning Nomad. I hope you get JD on your network. I will check back when I wake up. Just take things one step at a time and I think you will get it in no time.

Nomad 6R · Answer

seeya later thanks

A.Bautista · Answer

Hey nomad my balancer charger(blue block) gets pretty hot too I think that it's normal. When you plug the AC input the red light will always lit up to indicate there is power coming from the wall plug, once you plug it with JD there will be a green light to let you know your robot is being charged. After charging is completed the green light will go off this means your robot it's completely charged. The red light will still be on of course and the balancer charger will cool down

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi bautista yes batt and charger are fine. are you able to connect to pc and android?

A.Bautista · Answer

I am able to connect with my laptop, it was very easy, I even started making some dance moves on JD, butI haven't tried connecting to an android though.

Nomad 6R · Answer

what did you put in here?

A.Bautista · Answer

I did not put anything I didn't have to go there to connect JD

A.Bautista · Answer

From what I saw on the video I believe you get to chose your password, if you leave it open I don't think you have to put anything where it says security key

Nomad 6R · Answer

do you have win7? i cant get it connect

A.Bautista · Answer

No I have windows 8.1 it shouldn't be an issue since it is compatible with win7. What things have you tried, while connecting your JD

Nomad 6R · Answer

just try to connected like in the video.i get error message cant connect. i win7

A.Bautista · Answer

So in your computer you look for wifi networks, Then you see a network named EZ-B v4 #### four numbers after it, Then you click that and connect to it, I this is where your issue comes out right?

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes

A.Bautista · Answer

I have an old computer let me see if I can connect JD with it

Nomad 6R · Answer

thank you

A.Bautista · Answer

Am sorry nomad but I can connect with windows 7 just fine

Nomad 6R · Answer

ok thanks for lookin.

A.Bautista · Answer

Your welcome

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@A.Bautista... Looks like you are connected to your ezb in WP mode.... While in WP mode you can't connect to the internet while connected to your ezb. Nomad is trying (like everyone else) to connect in client mode so he can be connected to both the ezb and internet at the same time... In other words he is going one step further than you in order to access the ezb's web server and change the settings. Again, this is so he can connect to the ezb in Client mode.... this is the preferred connection mode for the ezb.... @nomad... You're almost there... where it says SSID you enter the name of your home wifi network and below that where it says security key enter your wifi password... If you are successful after this step the ezb will reboot and enter client mode... The led light on the ezb will go from blue to green...

Nomad 6R · Answer

goodmorning rr yes i try that but no succses.only on android it connect ,but not to webserver. on the android its ez-b4xxx and it connects fast.here is the problem the phone, is not fast enough to look for the webserver 192.168.1.1

CochranRobotics · Answer

Hey nomad, do you have some time to work on getting jd on your network with me?

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@d.cochran.... Thank God you're here dude... I can't offer Nomad anymore help... Do you think perhaps a session using Team Viewer might be the way to go? I know Alan has helped a fellow forum member that way.... My last ditch suggestion was for Nomad to find, buy, borrow or steal a Win 8 laptop and try again from the beginning....

CochranRobotics · Answer

Yea, I think so. It just depends on the Internet speed. Also the issue is that his computer only has one network connection which is the one we need to use to connect to the v4 which will loose the connection to team viewer. I think what I will do is try to connect with team viewer, and then get all of the information needed to make a video showing what needs to be done. Nomad, let me know your availability today and I will see what we can get done.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi guys. d.cohran i have always time for you. rr no money to by anything

CochranRobotics · Answer

Cool, yesterday when I had to go, did you have the android connecting to the ezb ' s webserver using the browser on the android?

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

Forgot about the fact that WP mode would disable your Team Viewer connection.... Maybe if he can grab a laptop from somewhere? Anyway, it shouldn't be this hard... Good luck Richard

Nomad 6R · Answer

d.cohran i cant get it connect cause the phone is to slow. i can connect the android and works whithout the webserver

CochranRobotics · Answer

I would be willing to bet that the issue with the connection from the computer has to do with the virus protection and not with the network per se. Patrick, Here is where I would like to begin so that we can be on the same page. Press the button on the top of the EZB V4. Tell me what the EZB says back to you when you do this.

Nomad 6R · Answer

it say am reseting aand go to www.ez...

CochranRobotics · Answer

perfect. Now on your android, go to your settings page and then go to your wireless network settings. you should see the EZB V4 network. Connect to that network. Let me know when you get there.

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes i know that and it connent perfect

CochranRobotics · Answer

Great, now on the android, open your web browser and type in https://192.168.1.1 in the address bar like you would to go to a website. Let me know when you get there

Nomad 6R · Answer

when i go there to HTTP ez-b disconnects

CochranRobotics · Answer

try this You have 2 ez-B's. One has a lot of wires connected to it in JD. The other one has nothing connected to it. unplug the one that is connected to JD from JD and plug the other one into the back of JD. you dont have to disconnect the servo wires or anything, just pull it out of the back of JD and put the other on in the socket. Once you do this, try the same steps we just did please. Connect to the ez-b network, and then connect to the webserver on the new ezb.

Nomad 6R · Answer

okay

CochranRobotics · Answer

Let me know if the same thing happens when you try to connect to the webserver.

Nomad 6R · Answer

it connect

CochranRobotics · Answer

okay so now, go to Wi-Fi Client Mode on the webpage you are looking at. In SSID, put your the name of the network that you are connecting to from your PC. Put the security key in which is the password used to protect your wifi in your house. It may be written on the side of your router listed as Security Key if you are unsure of what it is.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i know the sec key ,what do i after that

CochranRobotics · Answer

CochranRobotics · Answer

how far is the robot from your wifi access point or router? One of 4 things is probably happening. 1. your SSID is wrong 2. your security key is wrong 3. you are too far from the wifi access point to get signal or 4. your access point needs to be upgraded. I would eliminate the first 3 before even considering the 4th. Try #3 first. move the robot closer to the access point or router if your across the house from it. It isn't seeing the network or is unable to connect at all at this point. you will have to reset the EZ-B again by pressing that button, and then connect to the EZ-B on the android again to get back to the configuration page.

Nomad 6R · Answer

jd stands in 40 cm from wifi hub and from router 5 meters

CochranRobotics · Answer

cool, so that isnt the issue. So Please verify that your SSID and your security key is correct. The wifi in the ezb is working right or you wouldnt be able to configure it to try to connect to your network. I think the issue with the other one is that everything is plugged into it and it is drawing your battery down too low to make a connection probably. How charged is this battery? (BTW, this is where a power supply would be great because you wouldn't be concerned about the battery voltage at this point)

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes indeed that would be good for always have enough power. how do i see howfar the batt is?

CochranRobotics · Answer

is the project that you are running on your android published to the ezcloud? if it is, I can download it and add a script that will let you know, or I could walk you through how to add that script.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i think the batt is to low.android doesn see it. yes its on ez cloud

CochranRobotics · Answer

here is what I do. Add a variable watcher control if you dont already have one. (I always add these because I like to be able to see what my variables are set to anyway) Next add a script component. add this script
:loop $voltage = GetVoltage() sleep(10000) goto(loop)

you will see the current voltage in the variable watcher listed under $voltage.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i cant wright scrips yet.dont know what that is

CochranRobotics · Answer

im downloading your project and will add it for you.

Nomad 6R · Answer

ah ok thank you

CochranRobotics · Answer

your JD Android one from the cloud has it on there already. the lower left corner is the temp of the EZ-B the next one over is the voltage of the battery. Are you using your JD Android project?

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes can you tell me the nam off the project.i have a few

CochranRobotics · Answer

the one I grabbed was called JD Android and is dated 8/6/2014. it is the one on the bottom of the list.

Nomad 6R · Answer

ah sofar i cant accses webserver whit android

CochranRobotics · Answer

The JD selfmade mobile one has it on the bottom right side of the app.

CochranRobotics · Answer

you can switch back to the wireless connection to your home wireless and then go download it, then switch back to ezb network.

Nomad 6R · Answer

ok itry that

Nomad 6R · Answer

nothing works.on android.can we try on pc? i need to make a new one and delete the old ones apps

CochranRobotics · Answer

Nomad, here is the issue you have. 1. your android can connect (it isnt running any virus software or anything so it is easy to connect to the EZ-B) 2. you can see that the connection is working by being able to access the V4's website. 3. you cant get the EZ-B onto your network because of either wrong SSID, Password or incompatibility with the Wifi access point. 4. your PC has issues connecting to the EZ-B V4 but can connect to your wifi. the best solution is to get the ez-b onto your wifi at your house because your pc can hit that network also and you would be able to be on the internet and connect to the ez-B. Charge your battery and we will attempt again, but I think the issue is probably either the ssid or password. If it is not that, you should go get another wifi access point IMHO. Please verify your SSID and your password first by using this information on your phone or on your android to try to connect it to the network. if it works there, then you know you have it correct and the issue is an incompatibility with your access point. I can recommend some to you that have shown to work. they are about $50.00 US. Let me know after you have verified these pieces of data.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i know my password&ssid perfect ok i will charge the batt now.see you later thank you

CochranRobotics · Answer

I have got to go help my daughter with homework she has gathered from being out of school the last week. This will probably take some time, so I don't know how much time I will be able to be on today. I will check in periodically.

DJ Sures · Answer

Nomad, we have a videos with the entire connection procedure. 1) Can you tell me what's missing from the videos that will help you? 2) I don't see in this thread if you've been able to connect and control JD from AP mode (default mode). Is there a reason why you're skipping to a more difficult connection method? 3) When you load a project on android from cloud, it is cached in your local projects and you no longer need an internet connection. 4) Why are you not using the default JD project that ships with ARC and ezcloud?

Nomad 6R · Answer

d.cohran that ok thanks for trying dj i just want to use jd whit pc and there is a problem he dont connect the ez-b jd makes some spastic moves when i turn him on.so i would correct that first , for the safety off the robot.but cant connect.also when norton is off. on android it works,i can see camera and mic also works. no acses to the server ez . your video is good,my problem starts before your video. am not a programmer so i cant solve it.

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@DJ... Nomad says his pc (although his V4 appears in his wifi list) just will not connect in WP mode.... d.cochran was trying to get him access to the ezb4 web server via his android (because it seems to connect) device so he can switch over to Client mode....

Nomad 6R · Answer

rr thats correct the error i rea cant connect to the webserver also the android i have is very slow.

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

.... further (what I gathered from reading) I think nomad is/was able to connect to his ezb via his android device, but for some reason he cannot access the ezb webserver from his android's web browser....

DJ Sures · Answer

Nomad, You do not need to be a programmer you may be overly complicating the procedure - we have children connecting to robots you can do it! Let's first identify why your computer cannot connect. We need your computer to connect. 1) what brand is your PC? 2) do you have the following software installed? - avast - norton 3) what virus scanners do you have? 4) can you take a snapshot of the wifi error from your PC?

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@Nomad... I think you should find, borrow or buy a cheap windows 8 laptop.... It is much easier to do what you are trying to do from a Windows PC.... Just my opinion... I have never had a connection issue with Windows 8, but my previous Windows 7 computer gave me problems when trying to connect to my first ezb4 board....

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

... oh yeah... Duh. I remember now him saying he has Norton antivirus on his pc... It's buried somewhere in this thread I think.... @nomad... Hold off on the new pc....

Nomad 6R · Answer

@nomad... Hold off on the new pc.... Smile can you frase that diff?

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@nomad.... DJ asked you some questions.... Do you have Norton antivirus (or any other antivirus software) running on your pc? Disable it, then reboot your pc.... Make sure Norton is disabled and try to connect to your ezb4 again...

Nomad 6R · Answer

rr yes i have norton.ok i will try that.

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@nomad... Make sure it is disable for sure....

CochranRobotics · Answer

He can connect in ap mode from android. He can connect to webserver on v4 from Android He can't from pc. He does have norton. He only has one network device on his pc so I had him using the android so we could communicate using the pc. I was just trying to get the V4 in client mode so that then we could proceed to using the pc and staying connected to communicate. Unfortunately life got in the way here and I had to step away.

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@d.cochran...So he was able to bring up the ezb4 webserver on his android? I gather that's as far as he got? Was there a password or network name problem then? I do understand why you were working with him using the android.... I am hoping it is/was Norton antivirus that was the cause of him not being able to connect to his ezb4 via his home pc....

Nomad 6R · Answer

after reboot pc and dissable norton ,nothing.

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

.... I guess new PC time then? .... or you can buy d.cochran a plane ticket to Brussels to help you out....

Nomad 6R · Answer

so i will not be able to connect jd? there's no money for a new pc. this means more then 1000 dollar for totally nothing. mad dj is this thru?

CochranRobotics · Answer

yea, he got to the web server with the android. If we can get the v4 on the network, I believe the issue will be resolved for the PC. I don't think a new PC would solve the issue as well as a different access point. Nomad, would you be willing to purchase a different access point? This is the one I use and love them.

Nomad 6R · Answer

if nothing els works then it that the only option. i have here another acses point new one from linksys whit cd-rom is it possible to use two accses points?

CochranRobotics · Answer

Nomad, I want to connect to your computer and look around but I cant read your language. can you send me a couple of screen shots? I want to see your current network configuration on your pc when it is connected to your home network. I want to verify what you are putting in as the SSID for your home network when configuring the EZ-B V4.

CochranRobotics · Answer

yes, it is possible to run many access points with different ssid's or the same ssid. is the Linksys the one you are using now?

CochranRobotics · Answer

do you have skype?

A.Bautista · Answer

Nomad what steps have you tried

CochranRobotics · Answer

https://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx Patrick go to this page and download the app. let me know when this is done.

Nomad 6R · Answer

d.cohran i have skype patrick.dierckx19 the one am useing now is d-link cause that one was requested from telenet. a,bautista thanks for helping.but lets us try one at the time

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@A.Bautista... Nomad has tried everything... that is, to the extent of his abilities... It's best we let d.cochran handle this as he has extensive knowledge in this area....

A.Bautista · Answer

Ok I just thought that maybe if I made a video connecting to client mode from scratch would help

CochranRobotics · Answer

I checked everything on his network and his machines. we are no further. I explained what is happening to him that his wifi access point is running at 54 mbps and explained to him how a newer access point would benefit him. We also managed to get a couple more devices connected that allowed us to video conference and remote share so that we could evaluate what is happening. His android can connect and he was able to use his phone to connect to the robot in AP mode. unfortunately his wifi adapters on his PC were not able to do this. He is going to pickup the same access point that I referred to Dave S. when he was having issues. He is going to pick one up tomorrow and we will continue.

Nomad 6R · Answer

ok i had very nice conversation whit d.cohran. and saw some awesome things i ussually not see. but sofar all looking good. Abautista thank you for offering help. am smilling again

A.Bautista · Answer

Of course, no problem. I just want you to be having fun with you JD

Nomad 6R · Answer

Dave Schulpius · Answer

@d.cochran, your amazing to spend your Saturday helping. Not many people would do this. We'er fortunate to have you as part of this community, I have to confirm that the access point and new router I installed when I was having connection problems really solved my connection problems. d.cochran truly helped me with his suggestions.

Nomad 6R · Answer
