The thinking was to give my EZB an access point with a stronger signal to access then my network's wireless router. It worked like a charm.

Digital Pins Not Working

All the digital pins on one of my 3 EZB V4's stopped working. I rebooted and reset the unit and still can't get the 3 volts at any of the digital pins when I try to turn them on through ARC.

Plugin Manager Install Directory Assumes C:\Users

Any way to make the plugin manager ask where to install the plugins ? or can we run the manager manually. Not all accounts are on the C:\ drive and would need to direct it to the proper directory. While we are on the subject, could the manager and the ARC stay away from the public directory structures. Thanks, Andre
