Do not trust windows telling you it's disconnected. The ezb has a led that flashes when disconnected - so you can tell. Also the software won't let you connect to anything else.

The windows devices section is making things confusing for you and is unnecessary place to be

The drop down in ARC shows an IP address because it's default setup ezb v4 users. There are many thousands times more v4 users than the discontinued old v3, so we configure for the status quo, as you would expect

Sounds like you are connected great!

As for the sabertooth's connection, are you pressing the ? Button on the sabertooth's control and reading the help page? When you load ARC, there is a window that tells you to press the ? Buttons for help. Would it help if the window was bigger? We used to have it flash, but that was too ugly.

Not sure what we can so to help ppl use the help. Suggestions welcomed

As for help with the v3 - there is an entire section dedicated for the v3. It's in the LEARN section. LEARN is a menu option on the website. Press the learn and look at the sub menu. You will see a v3 support link. There's information about your v3 in there

Feedback from each of you has helped fill in my knowledge gaps.

Things are looking good so far. I can connect reliably now (more or less - Bluetooth...)

The whole Windows thing WAS just confusing me - '...it does that you know'.

I really haven't spent much time yet learning how to add controls and build routines in ARC yet as I'm still rewiring the lower half of the G-Bot (adding a few upgrades and fabricating a few switch circuits etc.).

Thanks for all the continued help guys.
