I see that your software needs at least windows 7, is also Mac compatible? Would love to start building with EZrobot.

Yeah - the ezb is really easy for connecting to your home network. In fact, it will verbally speak to provide feedback rather than trying to understand light codes and stuff.
So if it connects, it will speak and tell you. If it doesn't connect, it will also speak and tell you.
It's only 4 mouse clicks to add the ezb to your network.
connect to ezb adhoc from tablet and visit 192.168.1.1 in browser
click client mode
enter ssid of your router and network password with keyboard
press save
That's it
there's no reason to save that configuration in the ezb. It has no idea the physical location of itself. It doesn't know if it should be adhoc or be connected to a network without telling it. It can't guess, so you simply tell it.
Am in eldersburg md Alan ... Sounds like you're down the street lol where abouts are you?
I completely forgot that my mother in laws laptop was here so maybe I'll try again tomorrow with it. I know when I entered it in on my phone thru the app everything appeared correct but didn't connect. Then again (auto correct) can sometimes screw that up right as you click send on these devices.
Thanks for the direct support too dj. It's really cool of you to chime in on this and appreciated as it is appreciated that everyone else has also chimed in. Am getting my feet redone for my r2 and the dome is nearing too, so I want to start adding r2 sounds etched to the ezb which isn't all that easy via cellphone or tablet considering I have all those already loaded and awaiting on my Mac.
Also wanted to really figure out this stuff prior to taking JD apart and putting his parts and other parts and boards into the mix within the r2. Am hoping that adding a motor controller, setting up the range finder, motion sensors and tracking etc isn't too difficult too. Can imagine it will be a lot easier on a computer vs a cellphone screen.
Does the reset button on the ezb ever wear out? Just curious?
Haha - nah it shouldn't. It can be pressed too hard and be damaged... Like any button. But press it and it'll reboot
To add sounds to the ezb is real easy. Load the soundboard and click on empty slots and select the audio file. Voila! It's easier than typing the instructions.
We are starting an "ask dj anything" section where I will weekly answer questions via video. I'll pick the most common ones. Maybe one will cover how to add sounds to soundboard. Although, its super easy
Hi folks! Here's a simple hint. Disable the antivirus (you can choose to Turn it off for 10 minutes, I guess...) and it will connect. Then you can turn it on again. It always works for me. Once you do it, add the ip to the trust list... As I said, it works here.. Best regards.
I am in Silver Spring, so not too far at all. Next few weeks are pretty tied up for me, but if you are still struggling with this in May I could drive up any Sunday and help you out.

I am compiling a list of potential connection issues and solutions and will do a tutorial soon. This is one of hte top ones.

I got him to connect to the network! Woohoo! Thanks you guys!
Now tomorrow I'm going to try thru the Mac..... Was using my mother in laws laptop to connect him and got side tracked playing with the motion camera tracking and used up his battery. Will let y'all know how the Mac works tomorrow. Am getting there.
Thanks again!
