How do I connect EZB and IO Tiny in one project? I've exhausted all my ports on the EZB and need to add a IOTiny to gain 3 more ports. I looked over a couple of older posts and I am still confused how to do this. I want to connect an EZB and an IOTiny in one robot in ARC seamlessly. I'm adding a few scenarios for anyone searching for this info and now will be in one place.
I want to:
1) Use home network to connect both EZB and IO Tiny to ARC
2) No network when away from home with the robot connect EZB and IOTiny to ARC
3) Onboard computer (EZB wired via the camera port) how to add IOTiny to ARC (away from home network)
4) Robot is NOT connected to an onboard computer but rather an external laptop connected via Wi-Fi (away from home network )
Only issue is if you are using functions that need internet. In that case, a MiFi device or tethering on your phone is the best option.
AS far as using multiple devices in one ARC, the connector skill allows simultaneous connection by any means to 5 devices, and you can add additional to it up to 256.

2) configure Iotiny to connect to the ezb’s AP mode wifi network
3) connect ARC laptop to ezb AP mode wifi network
4) in arc, the ezb v4 will be the default ip of 192.168.1.1
5) in arc, the iotiny ip can be found by using the scan tool and watching for the broadcast
@alan thank you for info as well!

we used to like the luxury of wifi but now everyone is going back to Ethernet LOL
so funny how things change!
although I do have 5 firetv sticks that are wifi still. They don’t give me much trouble. But when they do, it’s a nightmare!
