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.

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.

Does it exist?
DJ has been posting about it for months.
Off the top of my head, the features are:
-Auto-discovery of WiFi (the EZ-B will broadcast its IP address making it easier/faster to find in ARC
-faster connection to WiFi network
-Longer WiFi range
-Faster processing of ADC reads to prevent flooding the comm channel when reading analog devices..
-Support for a USB connection for direct computer control without WiFi (plugs into Camera port, so you lose the EZ-B camera is using this feature).
-Support for the upcoming Inverted Pendulum EZ-Bit (I may be mis-remembering this one, but I think DJ said it needs the faster reads of the x/2).
There will be a conversion kit for existing EZ-B v4 owners.
There is also a Mini EZ-B with less ports but same capabilities also coming out.
