Gary is using a Mac
I just checked my BlueBus and I'm at firmware 1.3.0 on my Gen2 BlueBus (blue pwr light)
I pulled out my Gen1 BlueBus (green pwr light) and tried to run the firmware update tool and have the same problem where it times out. Unable to read my Gen1 BlueBus or update the firmware on it. It has firmware 1.1.18 installed on it.
