Unfortunately I don't have a PC. I have a Mac computer and I don't think there is an app for Mac. Both the battery on my iPhone and robot is fully charged.

@nomad and Aabid If you chose to go down that route, there are a couple of ways to run Windows on a Mac, but each will require the user to purchase a Windows OS licence (about 100 for Windows 8.1). You can use "Boot Camp" which is built into OS X and install and use Windows that way, or as Richard suggested and use virtualisation software, which uses a third party program such as VMware Fusion (about 70), which runs Windows along side OS X. @Aabid. DJ has give you some good questions to answer (a couple you already have done), so if you can answer these when you get a chance, we should be able to help you out.

hi steve G i have win7&win8 its good to know that there are ways for mac users

Dal · Answer

Back to the original topic question, that problem could be due to a number of things. First and foremost, your Six must have a maintained internet connection. It's a good idea to have your Six on the same network as your phone. With the more obvious stuff out of the way, it could be a problem with your E-Z B, since that's what hosts the server you're connecting to. I'd recommend you try the default voice commands to make sure the E-Z B is working correctly.

Aabid · Answer

@DJ @Steve Both the battery of my phone as well as the robot's is fully charged The robot doesn't make a sound when turned on. However, when turned on the servos twitch and that makes a sound. When turned on there is a light flashing blue. When trying to establish a connection the light stops flashing. The light is blue I am connecting my phone to the wifi network of the ezb. Yes, the ezb wifi name display is the same as the connected wifi network on the connection screen. I have double checked the wire connections several times to the ezb using the very learn section on the website. When resetting, the EZ-B doesn't speak the introduction message like in the video. I have tried using both an iPhone 6 (model MG4F2PK/A) and an iPad Air 2 (model MGKL2CL/A) both running iOS 8.4 (12H143).

Steve G · Answer

@Aabid. Thanks for answering the questions. So, your EZ-B does not make any sounds (audio tones or speech) at all, and you cannot establish a WiFi connection. This to me sounds like there is a problem with the main (ARM) processor which is located on the lower board inside of your EZ-B. Someone else had a similar problem a while ago with a damaged processor I believe, with similar symptoms. The only thing that can be done here then is the EZ-B will need to be replaced. The best advice I can give you is to use the "Contact Us" link, then click on the "Warrent Claim" icon. Write down exactly what the problem is and copy & paste the URL of this forum thread in to your warranty claim. The guys at the office will take it from there. Steve.

Aabid · Answer

Thanks @Steve. Will do

Steve G · Answer

No problem. Hopefully it won't be to long before Six is up on his feet and running around.

In the mean time, have a look and complete the lessons in the tutorials for your Six robot. They are a valuable source of information for setting your robots up correctly, and you learn some pretty cool stuff from there too.
