Hi sakis33 are you absolutely sure it's not a COMS related issue?

I discovered the exact same thing when I connected my EZ-B to the wrong COM port on my desktop PC when doing the previous update.

I even received the same confused 'old version' alert you did.

So I made sure nothing was connected to my EZ-B and tried again but still nothing!

So I had a look through the system manager to find which COMS post I need to connect to and discovered I had a COM10 listed as incoming and COM11 as out going...

(I had been earlier in the week working with setting up a few different Arduino boards for a school project.. A Duelaminovae, Leonardo and Freetronics Ether Mega to be specific).

Fortunately all was easily solved by swapping the COM port I had connected to and trying again.

I think it was just the way the system set up the bluetooth stack as the behaviour is different again when using my Toshiba laptop.

A good way to test, is attempt a connection to the COM port you keep using - but do not power the EZ-B.

Hello and thanks for the replay :P

I look through the system manager to find the 2 coms , COM 6 Outgoing and COM 8Incoming with name sakis.

I use COM 6 to connect with EZ-B but i can't now.

How can i swapping the COM port and try again?

Thanks again for the already help

Simply select the correct COM port - do not try to swap them in software, or you will confuse Windows.

My solution is to visit Bluetooth Devices and remove the EZ-Robot device. Reboot your computer. Use the Tutorial section and follow the instruction on how to add the EZ-B to your computer. The tutorial will also demonstrate how to determine what COM port the EZ-B was detected.

Everything can be resolved by following the instructions provided to you:)
