Sayezb Does Not Work With Surface Pro

Question

Hi DJ,

I changed my platform to Microsoft surface pro recently. I don't know why the sayezb script does not work with ez-b. Even updated and re-install!

And I have already doubled checked within that forum, but I found nothing to mention about this!

Do you have any ideas be able to solve this issue?

Thanks a lot

Regards Ricky Ma

Sorry! This is my mistake! I found that the "sayezb" script was worked with AP mode. But how to write "sayezb" script to connect ez-b in client mode? B. Regards Ricky Ma

JustinRatliff · Answer

Ricky, "Sayezb" will work if your EZB is connected in either mode. There is not an alternative way to script it. It sounds like your EZB may not actually be connecting in client mode. Don't forget there are a ton of resources EZ-Robot provides in way of tutorials from the Learn section of the website. I go there often of find things I forget and to help myself trouble shoot. "The Robot Program" Wi-Fi Modes lesson discusses Client and AP modes. Can you see if those directions helps trouble shoot your client mode connection? Regards, -Justin

Hi Justin, My fault! I did not write the question clearly! I have not connection problems. The question is that I use the AP mode to connect the product EZ-B v4 and I write the script "SayEZB ("testing")". The voice will come from the EZ-B v4's speaker. But it doesn't work when I connected by client mode. Their is no sound from the EZ-B v4's speaker as same script! Moreover, my robot will connect 3 x EZ-B v4. How can I do to order the script to specific EZ-B v4 to speak out? Sorry for your misunderstanding B. Regards Ricky Ma

JustinRatliff · Answer

Hi Ricky, the additional information helps a lot. With 3 EZB, I assume everything else works in client mode and client mode is not a problem for you. The code "SayEZB" will by default attempt to speak out of the first or "0" device. Reviewing the Script Cheat Sheet for SayEZB I found the following for dealing with multiple EZBs in a project, Optionally, the EZB index to speak out can be added as the second parameter. This can be empty as well. The value is between 0 and 4:
 #Example SayEZB(Speaking out of second EZB", 1)

So the ,1 is what you would adjust for the specific EZB that you want.

Ricky, continue the conversation on this thread, not new threads. Do not create new threads on same topic. This is your final warning. Now, good luck and it’s an easy solution once you listen to the help and read the manual. have fun!

JustinRatliff · Answer

@DJ, If I'm incorrect I apologize, I thought Ricky's threads were all unique not duplicates. He started one for AIMLbot working with BING which I helped him with. This thread is related to specifically how SayEZB works when you have multiple EZBs in a project. Ricky's other thread that is gone now with the video I thought it was related to his servos aliments going wonky in all different directions and Patrick seemed to be giving him advice for that issue.

wrong topic

DJ Sures · Answer

Duplicate threads are deleted. You don’t see them. You only see threads that have not been deleted. The topic on this conversation and remain in this thread. Have fun!

rickymahk2013 · Answer

Hi all, I made threads in these few days, as below: Thread 1) Aimlbot Setting -> This topic was finished. Thread 2) Sayezb Does Not Work With Surface Pro (for Technical Assistant) -> This one is my fault. I typed the wrong subject and can’t modify because it is no "Subject Edit" function on forum. So, I made a new thread for Open Conversational as "Sayezb does not work" (Thread 3). Thread 3) Sayezb does not work -> This one has been deleted. Thread 4) Trouble with the program -> This one is talking about the servo goes to wrong angle. But why this one has been deleted as well? @DJ, I apologise that I don't know that forum has terms between technical assistant and open conversational under same topic. I misunderstand that is between internal and public! Hope @Justin and @Patrick please don’t mind, I grouped the "talking function (Sayezb)" and "servo with program" these two topics into one thread. If both are ok, I will keep continuing to discuss over there. Actually, there is no any script program for learning for 40 years ago. I would like to make and finish my childhood dream for robot making. So I start to learn how to write script within these two years. My knowledge of this field just in basic level. Hope all experts could forgive and understand! By the way, "ez-b" is great product for starters, but these two years this knowledge is going very fast and complicate. I love to learn more in person if any course at EZ-Robot in Calgary, I am willing to fly come for learning! B. Regards Ricky Ma

hi ricky ma so all comes here now?

rickymahk2013 · Answer

Hi Patrick, Yes, if you don't mind and thanks for your help!

Nomad 6R · Answer

ok thats good for me.did you calibrate all servo's as in video?

rickymahk2013 · Answer

Hi Justin, Thanks for your video I followed your instruction twice, but the problem is still here. Pls. see my video as below:

Nomad 6R · Answer

no need to reboot after set all ports to 90,just save. do not connect the wire from servo before hit the set all ports to 90. also use connection 0,your servo is not set to 90 cause green led of ezbv is stil flikkering,so its not connected to ARC.also you need to adjust the screen resolution,to be able to see the save button. 1 connect ezb 2 go to web page 3 set all ports to 90 4connect wire 5get the wire out 6do all 18 servo's 7then save (do not reboot)

rickymahk2013 · Answer

Hi Patrick, I tried to your instruction again. I found out the problems that I used connection 0 could become normally in Client Mode (WiFi mode). But to use connection 1 in client mode, the trouble problem is appeared! Pls. see the below pictures & video for your reference:

Nomad 6R · Answer

good find.indeed you calibrated on connection 1,so if you used connection 0 it will be different.best is to use connection0. your servo is not an original ezb servo.each servo has its own adres and so on. best for now is to set your screen resolution,so you can see the save button. then we do all over again but with connection0 can you make screenchot from the webpage ?

rickymahk2013 · Answer

Hi Patrick, Here is the screenshot as below:   I will use the (connection 0) for my robot first! Appreciated for your patience and help! B. Regards Ricky Ma

Nomad 6R · Answer

use for every robot another ARC and always use connection0 i wonder why the pic is shown on your web page from ezbv4 can you try this see pic.

Nomad 6R · Answer

do you have a screenchot from this button on the webpage?

rickymahk2013 · Answer

It is because I used client mode (multiple connection) to control my robot and it has an unique IP that is provided by wifi router. 192.168.1.1 is provided by ez-b for "AP mode" user. So, the difference of IP is between the AP Mode (single) and Client Mode (multiple) user.

Nomad 6R · Answer

great i learn something too.we need to find the save button on the webpage.

Nomad 6R · Answer

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi the tablet is ? win8 or 10 ?

rickymahk2013 · Answer

Win 10

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi did you see this tutorial about screen settings ? screen resolution

rickymahk2013 · Answer

Hi Patrick, Actually, I have reviewed "screen resolution" before. My screen setting is adjusted for tablet resolution. So, I think that the EZ-b webpage save button may change a little bit different between old and new version. Anyway, thanks for your solution and help

Nomad 6R · Answer

i didn find a tutorial for win10 so,i think there must be a save button always. i see you have two buttons more on your web page.so indeed there are some, changes between win8 and win10.

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@rickymahk2013... The ezb4 webserver was updated in version x/2 of the ezb4... It has more options available over the original ezb4... Nomad is incorrect... this has nothing to do with whether you are using Windows 8 or 10 or any other version of windows... Screen resolution likewise has nothing to do with what version of windows you are using...

Nomad 6R · Answer

rr i was just trying to find the save button.so where is it then?

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

The save buttons are inside these folders ... in places where you make changes... Click on anyone and you will see a save button...

Nomad 6R · Answer

but for saving your servo's.in diagnostics?

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

What servo settings do you need to save?... The webserver just controls the digital IO ports without using ARC... It just controls things like servos and digital IO to test them... there is nothing to save so that's why there is no save button...

Nomad 6R · Answer

now i dont get it.look save button for servo's

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

You have an old ezb. You should update the comm board to version 2.... The save button you are pointing to with the red arrow  only saves the low battery warning option and nothing else... The blue arrow is pointing to controlling the servos only in real time... setting them to 90deg without using ARC that's all... just setting the servos not saving any servo info about tem... Get it now? As I mentioned the new webserver for the ezb4 x/2 is completely different with more options...

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

Upgrade your old ezb4 here... Upgrade old ezb4 to ezb4 x/2

Nomad 6R · Answer

RR ah yes i get it now.thanks for helping.is it possible that the problem ricky ma has, is become he has no original ez servo's?

Nomad 6R · Answer
