Resolved by DJ Sures!
Am I missing something? Can the mobile app control multiple EZBs? I am using two in my robot and one is a client of the other. I don't seem to be able to access both EZBs in my mobile app and I really need that ability to trigger all of his animations. One EZB controls his head and the other controls his body. My scripts intertwine with the EZBs so they do not function when using the mobile app. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Doug

@DJ Sures,
I saw the Sabertooth update today! Thank you!
Just checking to see if the Mobile app is still only able to link to one EZB.
Is it still only one?
Thanks!
Doug
I'm in the same boat for my R2.
Sometimes I feel like dejavu of Bill Gates ( 640K ought to be enough for anyone.)
Sadly us DIY users are no longer the focus of EZ Robot.
@lumpyu, seriously? I wouldn't expect that from you...
The limitation to multiple ez-b's for mobile is CPU and resource limitations. FYI, your phone/tablet is not a PC. The current ez-robot mobile app utilizes almost every bit of available resources and cores to perform what it does. Which is why there is only one app in the world like ez-robot's mobile app. And which is why there's only one ez-robot on this planet, because no one else has our secrets. However, our secrets are resource hungry and require very optimized and complex coding.
I personally take significant offence to your comment, lumpy. This is an unofficial ez-robot statement and comes directly from me. I am no longer engaging in this thread.
@DJ Sures,
Well that makes sense to me. I guess I just take processor speed for granted. I've since been experimenting with the virtual server. I need to learn HTML so I can customize a sweet interface.
Thank you for the clarification!

@DJSures,
It's a true statement, the last few years focus has shifted away from the DIY user to the educational market. Simply a fact. Your choice, your business plan.
Oddly enough I work in the educational field as a Makerspace Tech. Schools all around us are looking to setup makerspaces and visiting me at my workplace for direction and ideas for their new makerspaces for the kids. Guess what I direct them towards? EZ-Robot...
Our Makerfaire is this weekend, I have my full size 1:1 aluminum R2 out (2-V4/2), a Hasbro R2 (IoTiny), Roomba Rover (IoTiny), and a Omnibot (IoTiny). Also going to have a standalone V4/2 w/ camera on the table.
So maybe before you are so quick to overreact to a simple statement you should take a deep breath.
Guess I lied - as i'm replying and said I wouldn't.
Other than manufacturing a second product-line and marketing to education, explain how ez-robot is not focusing on the needs of the DIY user. And, if you could explain how your comment has anything to do with processing and resource limitations of tablet/phones to support multiple ez-b's.
See "Technology Today" by David Cochran.
He is doing a review on the Latte Panda tonight. Could be put inside your robot.
Running an onboard copy of ARC allow multiple EZB's.
