Ezb-V4 Firmware Upgrade?

Hi there.

I am starting out with the EZ Robot Dev kit, and I want to make sure my device has the correct and latest firmware.

The webserver reports it to be: EZ-WiFi v0.4a

When I run the EZ-B V4.x/2 Firmware program, it connects, but it tells me:

Quote:

2016/07/07 9:19:16 PM - This upgrade program only works with the EZ-B v4.x/2. 2016/07/07 9:19:16 PM - Connected

Does this mean there is no upgrade available? Do I have to download new firmware from the website? (I cant find any) It seems to think I don't have a V4 device?

Thanks in Advance.

There is no firmware upgrade for the ezb4... yet...

There is a new version of the V4 (the V4 x/2) coming out soon that will be firmware up-gradable over the air. The current version can only be upgraded with a PIKIT programmer. 0.4 is "new enough" that you won't experience the one bug that was in the earliest versions (it may even be the current version, I am not in a position to boot up my EZ-Bs right now to check).

When the v 4 x/2 is released there will also be a conversion kit if you feel you need any new features that get released with it or subsequent to it. The existing devices will be supported for a long long time without the upgrade.

Thanks for the extra info @Alan.

I searched for (could not find) a link or thread that explains what the v 4 x2 is?

Does it exist?

The EZ-B v4.x/2 exists for a select number of beta users and will be available for public purchase this summer. For those with previous EZ-B versions, there will be an upgrade option as well.
