Hi Max

It is really easy simply download Github for windows and your off…

Hi there

I just merged this pull request to the master branch. I will create a new version of the add-in and upload it to my FTP server this weekend. In the meantime I think that what you are experiencing is related to the missing DLL. You have to add the DLL using gacutil. This will be included in the next image release.

Hi Max

Thanks a lot for all your hard work. Looks very nice. Once I get back from vacation I will have a look at it. I will see if I can give you access to our repository, to make the development cycle shorter.

Hi Max

Looks great – but the template comes with a MonoBrickFirmware.dll… would it be possible to make the template a part of the git repository this way when a new MonoBrickFirware.dll is created the template will be up to date.

Hi there

I think that you are trying to run the program on a PC. This can not be done. Please have a look at the guide section to see how to transfer and run programs on the brick.

What version of GTK# are you using?

Hi there

Actually it is a hard question to answer. Simply because we have different versions of both the image, firmware application running on the image as well as the Xamarin Addin/DLL. Currently the version of the of the image is 1.0, the latest firmware running on the image is 1.0 while the Xamarin Addin/DLL has version 1.1 this can be read from the following URL. The idea behind this setup is that we can release a new firmware without users needing to download and create an entire image – you simply download a new firmware application. When you check for updates the following logic is executed.

1. If your image version is different from the the version in the link above you will get a notification/message that tells you a new image is available. And the next step will not be executed.
2. If however your image is up to date but a new firmware application is available you will be asked to download the application. If the firmware is not up to date the next step will not be executed until the firmware has been updated.
3. If you are using the Xamarin Addin it will write a version stamp when a program is uploaded to the brick. This version number in this stamp will be compared to the one in the link above.

Sometime in the future we will add support for comparing the DLL used in the program that has been uploaded to the EV3 with the link/current version.

So to see if your system is up to date simply compare the version of your Image, firmware and Xamarin Addin with the version of the found in the link.

Please note that some of the fist releases of the MonoBrick image only tells you if new software is available it does not distinguishing between image and firmware. In that case you should download a new image.

I know that this information is not available anywhere and I apologize for this – I have been dying to write a tutorial page on updating the system but just haven’t had the time. Maybe I will use this answer as a starting point.

Anyway hope this answers your question.

/Anders
