Hi,
Had a bit of a strange one and I hope you can shed some light on it.
I received my EZ-B from MakerShed, I downloaded the ARC and installed.
Tried to connect (after my previous issues with the Bluetooth!) and was informed that the firmware needed updating, I followed the tutorial and was up and running in no time 
Then the ARC said it needed to update, which it did and now I was rocking and rolling.
Ok, here is the crunch, my kit came from EZ-Robot and the board that came with it said it needed a firmware update, but now when I launch the Firmware update tool I get an error, see the enclosed pdf. Ok, so we can't attach a pdf......
I tried to download the latest ARC but it says that the one on my computer is newer than the latest one from the site.
Any ideas?

What does all of that sh..... stuff mean? confused
Just seen at the bottom of the tutorial page a message telling me to forward this info in the contact us, I therefore appologise that I did not see that bit before posting.
On a brighter note this is another good call for a delete post button eyeroll
Reboot
Hay DJ Sures,
Thanks for the quick reply, first I thought you were stating the obvious, yes I am trying to build a robot, but then I read it again and realised what you meant blush rebooted a couple of times and I still have: Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

If I click continue the program opens but I can not select a COM port, it is blank.
The question is, if i remove ARC and re install from scratch will it loose the set up I have done for my Wall-ter?
Kind regards Darren
Your computer is confused
it happens sometimes. Often in windows. You will not lose your project files if you uninstall
it is only the firmware updater, I can connect to the other board and Wall-ter runs round till the batteries go flat, all of about 10 mins
Just did a system restore but it looks like a uninstall and fresh install.
Here we go....
Improvement! Firmware updater is now working in a way, it does not come up with the error, but the COM ports on both EZ and firmware start from COM50, 60, 70, 90
In ARC you can change the port simply by typing it in but on Firmware you only have the choices it gives you.
I think I am going to try and install on another PC just for the firmware update! (my head hurts now!)
