Connecting Brookstone Rover To ARC Questions

Hi all,

I am trying to connect my Rover v1 to ARC. I have tried two different ways:

  1. Connect the rover to my wifi on the computer first. When I tried this the network symbol has the yellow triangle with the black line appeared. I then opened ARC and added the Rover, selected v1 and press connect. I then get this message:

EZB 0: EZB 1: EZB 2: EZB 3: EZB 4: 12/09/2014 10:11 PM - TCP Server stopped 12/09/2014 10:11 PM - TCP Server stopped 12/09/2014 10:11 PM - TCP Server stopped 12/09/2014 10:11 PM - TCP Server stopped 12/09/2014 10:11 PM - TCP Server stopped 12/09/2014 10:11 PM - System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. at EZ_B.BrookstoneRover.() at EZ_B.BrookstoneRover.Connect(RoverVersionEnum version) at EZ_Builder.UCForms.FormBrookstoneRoverMovementPanel.(Object , EventArgs )

  1. I have tried to leave my wifi connection on to the computer, opened ARC, add the robot and press connect. This freezes ARC and when it responds I get this message: EZB 0: EZB 1: EZB 2: EZB 3: EZB 4: 12/09/2014 10:13 PM - TCP Server stopped 12/09/2014 10:13 PM - TCP Server stopped 12/09/2014 10:13 PM - TCP Server stopped 12/09/2014 10:13 PM - TCP Server stopped 12/09/2014 10:13 PM - TCP Server stopped 12/09/2014 10:13 PM - System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): 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 192.168.1.100:80 at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient..ctor(String hostname, Int32 port) at EZ_B.BrookstoneRover.() at EZ_B.BrookstoneRover.Connect(RoverVersionEnum version) at EZ_Builder.UCForms.FormBrookstoneRoverMovementPanel.(Object , EventArgs )

No I don't think so. How do I turn it off I am only new to it. I think I am using v4.

Thanks

konradmx what pc do you have

#4  

It's really easy to tell the EZB4 and EZB3 apart... If you bought your ezb controller just recently then it will be the V4... Below is the v4... User-inserted image

The Brookstone Rover module has a bug while we are adding support to v2. I didn't notice it until this message. I'll do a new release for the v1 users tonight or tomorrow.

See DJ's message just before yours. He accidentally broke support for Rover v1. He'll be releasing a fix soon.

The error message has changed. I selected v1, but it displayed:

Hello this is me Pyae Phyoe again can i get old version ezbuild which can connect v1 brookstone rover ? cannt connect with current version

#17  

Hello,

Looks like I'm in the same boat as everyone else.

Same kind of error:

System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. at EZ_B.BrookstoneRover.() at EZ_B.BrookstoneRover.Connect(RoverVersionEnum version) at EZ_Builder.UCForms.FormBrookstoneRoverMovementPanel.(Object , EventArgs )

Like pyaephyoe mentioned, is there a way we can access an old version of the software? I just got a rover and am itching to try out the software.

#19  

I have version 2014.12.09.00 and I can't connect with V1. Any help?

#20  

@Savall21

it hasn't been fixed yet, it's as simple as that :P

#21  

Ok, how about the most recent version where it worked?

#22  

Maybe by an off chance a collecting soul on here has all the back issues of ARC, otherwise I think your SOL I'm afraid...

#23  

One of the users on the forum has a dropbox archive with older versions:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gx74x30gpifn1yv/w-xkmLJOr9

Version 2013.02.26 worked. I think this was the last one listed. I haven't gone through to see if there is a more current version that would work.
