Hi, just thought I would clarify software updates as some may be confused.
The software for the 2nd Generation controller is completely different from the original controller. The original controller had 3 Arduino's and the 2nd Generation controller uses two, also a lot of different ports and pinouts are different. Because of that I have discontinued support on the original software so there will be no more updates for that original controller to come.
The new software is a major upgrade and because it does not apply to the original controller an update to the 2nd Generation software is not available unless you purchase an upgrade to the new controller.
This does fall in line with my software license and I'm sorry for any trouble this might cause someone but in order to use the new firmware the controller has to be updated. Anyone who purchased the "software only" when it was available are also not eligible for the 2nd Generation software.
If you would like to upgrade to the new controller contact me and we can work something out.
EDIT: I have no plans to ever upgrade the hardware in a manner it affects the firmware but if that was to happen again updates would no longer be available for the current controller. This major upgrade had to happen in order to improve Robo-Tank.
