I would like to know if the comm bords of both IoTiny and the new v4/2 are the same? If yes, why does the v4 upgrade cost more than the IoTiny Thanks.
Are there any release notes that say what the newer v4/2 firmware are ? I've been looking over the website and can find little info about updating any firmware. I know by asking in this forum where I can find the update utility (in the EZ Robot folder the residues on my computer) but there is no documentation in that folder or anywhere on the EZ Robot web site I can find on how to do it or what it will change.
As awesome as EZ Robot and their produit is, I continue to to be frustrated by the difficulty of finding information on this website and searching the community history for answers. stress
No release notes were posted.
To do the firmware update, just start the updater application and follow the on screen instructions. Super easy (or should I say "EZ"). Works in either AP or Client mode, and just like ARC, it can find your EZ-B from its broadcast, so you don't need to know its IP address.

Dave, sounds like you are using Windows 8+. Windows 8+ does not put icons on the start menu automatically, and you must do it yourself. There's an All Apps button in the start menu to list all installed apps.
Find out more with a website like this: http://m.winsupersite.com/windows-8/windows-81-tip-find-your-installed-apps
Once you press that All Apps button, you will find the ez-robot section and it contains ARC and the firmware upgrade programs.
Remember, a long time ago you asked how to add ARC to the start menu? Well, that's because windows 8+ changed everything.
Please do not blame ez-robot for the changes to Windows 8+ operating system. You do not need to navigate through the C:\ to find programs. They are listed (hidden) in Windows All Apps start menu.
Also, there's no reason to upgrade, otherwise we would have told you to.
As Alan said it really couldn't get any easier to update the iotiny or ezb... Saying that however maybe it would be possible to have an auto firmware updater? Something like when ARC connects to the ezb you can have (the option to) it check the firmware version on your ezb. Then if an update is required it can do it automatically from there by launching the updater software... Just a thought...
Latest software operates like the v3 informing you of an upgrade if applicable. You do not see a message because upgrade is not required.
Understood and thanks guys. I am using Windows 10 but am finding that as the Win versions move forward I'm having difficulty keeping up with all the changes. The added menu items looks like one of them I guess. Looks like technology is starting to pass me by. tired I started out by using Windows 3.3 years ago. eek
Just for the record I don't blame EZ Robot for anything Windows does. Even though I don't know what they all are, I completely understand the challenges you guys face from version to version and working with Windows inherent quirks. I was just stating that I found it frustrating at times looking for information using the search function on EZ Robot website. For example I was looking for anything to do with updating the V4 Firmware and really couldn't find anything current. In defence of the website search function this could be because I couldn't find the proper combo of search words to use or as you all pointed out there wasn't anything new to find.
Many thinks again and my apologies for opening a can of worms.
Dave,
For complex searches, you can use Google and specify the site so it only searches the forum. Works much better, particularly when there are multiple words or a specific phrase you are looking for.
The format is:
Yep, same here Dave. No joy searching for v4 firm update in the forum. Haven´t had time to install the v4.x/2. Hope to do it tomorrow mad. Thanks guys.
