• TReX Configurator utility for Windows version 100608 (295k zip)

  If you have the ability to connect your TReX to a computer (via serial port or USB-to-serial adapter), you can use this program to monitor the channel inputs, control the motor drivers, and configure its various settings. This version supports TReX and TReX Jr firmware versions 1.3 and below. Please manually uninstall older versions of the TReX Configurator before installing this version.

• TReX Jr (DMC02) Firmware version 1.2 (161k trx)

  This firmware fixes a bug that affected the 38,400 and 28,800 bps baud rates, and it adds a configuration parameter that lets you optionally insert a 1 ms delay between the last byte of a received command packet and the first byte of the TReX Jr’s transmitted response. Without this delay, slower 妓院一钑片免看黄大片, such as the Basic Stamp, can miss the first byte of the TReX Jr’s response.
