Today's release includes brookstone rover connection debug information

Hi DJ,

New debug output from the new version is below:

If really needed, I can try to get tcpdump running on an iPad. I work in a very resourceful IT company and we have been driving the rovers around the office

Rover Connection Error Step 6: System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Receive(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags) at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) at System.IO.Stream.ReadByte() at EZ_B.BrookstoneRover.Connect() Rover Connection Error Step 7: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range.

Where did you buy this tank? I can't find any information about it.

This is the version of the rover for sale in Australia and also likely New Zealand as well.

Also here are some pictures after it has been ripped apart

Ill be fitting a massive Gel Cell battery (6amp) in the back there.

A couple of top platforms (one will hold the motherboard from an atom Eee PC)

And then on top I will have a swivel second camera.

I will also be adding a Z-wave home automation controller on-board so that it can act as a portable room open air mic for turning appliances on and off.

Some decent speakers too if they will fit

I am looking to get 1 week battery life running 24/7 ideally.

Might need to upgrade the engines though, I will see how it goes.

DJ?

Supporting that device is added to our to-do list. I do not have an eta, but there are over 100 items ahead of it

Hey guys, i'm trying to connect my rover to the ARC, but it won't connect. A mesage scrolls up from the bottom saying:

Rover Error: System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Receive(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags) at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) at System.IO.Stream.ReadByte() at EZ_B.BrookstoneRover.Connect()

What does this mean? What should I do?
