Good Morning EZ-Robot.com Hardware Team !
Last week I received my ElecHouse UART-WiFi Kit, and got it Connecting to my Home Router with help from Robot-Doc, who led me to the TLG10UA03,
I have attached my Screenshots and Test Procedure, "13-Mar-2013 ElecHouse WiFi UART Serial Terminal Loop-Back Test.doc", and my ARC File of the same name.
I am using DJ's New Serial Terminal within ARC; seems to WORK GREAT, but I need to LEARN MORE on its proper use ?
My Question is, Exactly Where Do I Loop-Back the WiFi Module; I tried Tx-to-Rx with No Success ?
Thank You All & Best Wishes,

Rich, replying to your post 3 up, I am 98% positive you can just enter the ip. Address and port in the com port dropdown. Ie 192.168.0.13:8090
You define the port number for serial communications in the setup software of the wifi board. You only need a virtual comm port to communicate with other devices (like Roomba) and it responds to telnet on port 23 for command and control of the Wifi board (cli).
My board should be waiting for me when I get back to work Wednesday, and i will test and hopefully put up a tutorial on Thursday.

Thank you Rich, I could make the connection quite easily as a matter of fact. But I'm struggling with the port forwarding. I did everything fine but I cannot point to my local EZB from outside my network. I'm trying with a vpn but I'd like to find what I could have done wrong with the port forwarding in my router... I'll try having internal port and external port set on different numbers... we'll see and I'll let you know.
Is there a Mac Version of EZB by chance ? Juste thinking... I have an old iMac that runs exclusively for videosurveillance so I thought I could use it as a permanent Relay.
I can't get to connect from outside... confused
Check port forwarding
Hi DougPope,
I am glad that you succeeded with the WIFI module, you should have more coverage around the place to work with.
I did Config my WIFI board and it is detectable on the Router and I can ping it from other devices. I did use autowork mode to auto connect....not sure if this is ok.
also, I can take care of the pin swapping issue using 4 wires cable male-female + additional power sourcing to cover the extra power needed for the WIFI module as using the 1.5A 5V power supply could not handle EZ-B and the WIFI Module.
I have couple Questions to you and @Robot-Doc.
What did you do with the power issue?
how can I create Virtual Serial Port to my Window 7 machine and access my EZ-B?
I think after that ARC should do the job.

@thetechguru I'm glad you are so confident, as so am I. None of this virtual port rubbish
I'd like to know if anyone has tried it though. It would sure close around 4 different topics on the subject if it was that simple.
