Fresh batteries, connects through bluetooth config (ports 4 and 5), however, when I launch EZ Builder and select port 5 (or port 4, seems to not matter), no dice.
I've uninstalled the device and reinstalled, I've power cycled, etc. No dice.
Any ideas?

For kicks, I left the dialog up and ran the firmware upgrade utility, selected the lower COM port (4) and this is what I get:
Attempting connection to COM4
Connection Failed: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the port 'COM4' is denied.
at System.IO.Ports.InternalResources.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String str)
at System.IO.Ports.SerialStream..ctor(String portName, Int32 baudRate, Parity parity, Int32 dataBits, StopBits stopBits, Int32 readTimeout, Int32 writeTimeout, Handshake handshake, Boolean dtrEnable, Boolean rtsEnable, Boolean discardNull, Byte parityReplace)
at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.Open()
at EZ_B.EZB.Connect(String portName)
Disconnected
So, dismissed "welcome..." dialog in ARC. Red light flashes, says not connected. Ran Firmaware anyway, selected lower COM port (4), hit connect. Wha lah. Connected, firmware upgraded...
sigh.
Rough day.

Yup, read that, tried, got many failed attempts to connect in the firmware update app. Went back and forth many times. There was also a reference in one of the tutorials to choose the bottom, or larger numbered COM port. As it turns out, that information was incorrect, and it was the smaller number COM port that I needed to select. (that being said, I still had a heck of a time getting it all talking to one another.)
It's all good. Learned a lot about the communications systems of the platform.
now let the robot fun begin!
In this tutorial: (:50 sec in)
Connect to bluetooth
It refers to the second COM port as the one to connect to. In this case, it's a higher value than the first entry.
In my setup, the second entry is a LOWER COM port value.
I thought the reference was to the VALUE not PLACE.
