I've been trying to update the firmware on the board. It seems to start just fine, the progress-bar goes all the way to the end... But it never actually seems to finish.
I've tried rebooting my box, re-running the firmware updater, etc... But seem to always get the same results.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Does the larger LED flicker when the progress bar is moving?
What firmware does your EZ-B report it currently has?
Are you using a USB Bluetooth Dongle? Or does your computer have a built in bluetooth?
No, the larger LED does not appear to flicker.
Current firmware is 15.1
I am using a "Rocketfish" bluetooth dongle.
Thanks!
We've had reports of some bluetooth dongles not working with the EZ-B. I'm going to put up a diagnostic program tomorrow for you. It will talk to the EZ-B and ask it some questions - to ensure a response. It has to do with third party bluetooth stacks.
Are you using the native windows bluetooth stack? Or did your dongle install something else?
The dongle came with a CD. However, when I plugged the dongle in, the Windows 7 box recognized it and configured it by itself. I did not have to insert the CD.
Heehee, I love the word "dongle". ;o)
I am going to see if I can find a different bluetooth dongle and see if that works.
If you have any other ideas in the meantime, please shoot them my way.
Thanks!
Hmm. I have a second EZ-B. I am trying this one via a VMWare virtual machine running on a Mac Pro.
I was able to pair the device without any problems. The large LED flashed white for a bit, but when the firmware upgrade was actually progressing, there was no flashing.
It is now, also, stuck with the progress bar at 100%.
One thing I noticed between the 2 EZ-B boards. The first one's LED is orange all of the time. This one, so far, is white.
I am going to have to unplug the board sometime soon or I'll kill off my batteries. What can I do to get the firmware updated? I really want to get to the fun stuff!
Thank you,
I finally got one of the EZ-B's to update! Tried a 3rd (or 4th) computer and it worked.
The one with the orange light is still T.U.
What does T.U. mean?
The orange light one doesn't update? Even on the same computer as the other EZ-B?
