Well, we were going to try to burn the latest and greatest firmware, but when I got to the directory where the hex is supposed to reside, it was not there. I contacted them, but since they are EU based, I suspect it will be a day or two for a response.
ATMEGA328P-PU, PERFECT. After I test it out the firmware upload on myside, we will need to convert that Arduino into a USB2UART device (just pull the ATMEGA328 out).
One other thing we can mess with. In the EasyVR Test sketch in the void_setup() try adding a 50ms delay below port.Begin(9600).
Serial.Begin(9600);
port.Begin(9600);
[b]delay(50);[/b]
Then upload and open serial monitor.
