I saw the video about using the ez-robot software to control a brookstone rover.
I am not clear on what physical changes are needed to the rover device? It seemed that the EZ software had a "device type" for brookstone rover so only connecting to it via the ez software was all that was needed? Is this correct?
Any detailed video on what you must do to utilize the brookstone rover?

Basically put, ARC can control the drive train and view the camera. This will take a load off of the EZ-B as you will not require to fit any motor controllers.
There may be an issue with the V4 EZ-B due to it's wifi connection. The rover must connect directly to your PC's wifi and since you can only connect to one wifi network per wifi network card on a PC you will not be able to use that to also connect to the EZ-B, you may require a second wifi network card or a wired network for connection to the EZ-B V4.
Help me please?
What do I need to do to set this up?

Here is what I've tried so far with Windows 7:
0. Truned on Rover.
1. Added a USB WiFi to my laptop. This is a second connection, because the laptop has built-in wifi.
2. Created a connection with the SSID shown on the bottom of the Rover - it starts with AC13. Since it is hex code, it is all numeric or letters A-F.
3. Opened the wifi network connection from the lower-right toolbar. Saw a long list of wifi connections that I already knew about.
4. Noticed that the network connection is labeled "Wireless Network Connection".
5. Scrolled down, far down. Suddenly I see "Wireless Network Connection 2"! I didn't know about this, but now I do.
6. Select AC13 wifi for "Connection 2".
I will point out that ARC will run a lot smoother if it is connected to an EZ-B, even if the EZ-B is sat on top of the PC and not connected to the rover at all. This is due to the way ARC was built around the EZ-B rather than as a stand alone interface for third party products.
