Changes:

- Auto Position (no movement control) now supports setting speed from ControlCommand()

- speech synth removed emphasis value because it stopped the RATE from working

- rgb animator and 8x8 now use the specified ezb index when changing i2c address

- It's my moms birthday and i should have spent it with her rather than create an update:D

- IoTiny firmware update. Contains a feature to report the status of an ARC client connection via the port D7. If it is high, there is a client. If it is low, there is no connection. This feature can be activated in the web configuration of the IoTiny

- EZ-B v4 firmware update. Contains a feature to report the status of an ARC client connection via the port D23. If it is high, there is a client. If it is low, there is no connection. This feature can be activated in the web configuration of the EZ-B v4

I was able to upgrade my iOTiny's no problem, however trying to upgrade 2 of my ezb4's resulted in a communication error at the end of the upgrade. All appeared to go well as the ezb4(s) reported they successfully received the upgraded firmware... but no boot up chime at the end of the upgrade... I cycled the power after 60 seconds but this resulted in "communication error" chant... Resetting the ezbs with a paperclip did nothing... I have upgraded many ezb4's in the past so it wasn't something I did... I did not interrupt the upgrade process in any way... Are these 2 ezb4's "bricked" or is there any way to get them working again?...

Oh no - that's not good. I didn't have any problems with testing. No one else upgrade their EZ-B v4 firmware until we've verified with Richard what's going on. Don't need any bricked units out there.

Richard - the bootloader can still be used to restore the unit. I've never written a manual on doing so, which i will today for you. In the meantime, no one else upgrade their ez-b v4 firmware.

This may have been addressed.

The firmware was tested and updated - as there was a bug in the optimization flag of the compiler. Richard - let me put together some instructions to unbrick your two ez-b's. Stay tuned...
