Second EZB now works ok also.

On first attempt got " cannot connect to Ez-b" error But my next click on connect all worked perfectly.

Don't worry what ever the issue DJ will sort it out.

Everything was working Beautiful right before the Update firmware.

I think there is a BUG . And, of course I am the Lucky one to experience it. I should've been a beta tester. I have beta tested before for some companies.

The 15.3 does indeed have a bug with some bluetooth modules. It's unusual, because it's not with all EZ-B's.

It will be repairable, but require a trick for the connection. You will have to power the EZ-B ON, then OFF, then ON quickly. If you do that, the status led will begin pulsating (Rather than staying on for 4 seconds). If you notice the LED stay on when you first power up, it won't connect. If the LED pulsates right away when you power up, you can connect.

I'm stumped as to why. I'll have a fix soon as I find out what's happening.

We have 10 beta testers for firmware. All 10 boards passed the test (v2, v3 and v3.1). I spent the past while trying board after board and found 3 that won't connect all the time.

I can verify that there is indeed something fishy happening. I'm going to make sure it's fixed today:)

Plugging and Unplugging could be dangerous maybe?

Also, is it the white or Red light?

Do we want it to flash or stay on?

OK, that little trick worked for me. I was scared to try it because rapid turning on/off can kill a cpu. Evidently, D.J. has put some protection circuits inside and on the board.

Good Work!!
