There are some great things about this app. The interface is nice, pretty intuitive, easy to figure out - particularly if you have experience with the PC versions. It works well with the Robotis MINI. My main issue with it is that it does not work with CMS530, Bioloid Premium. I did the latest upgrade - and it lists that it has improved compatibility with the CMS530, but you still cannot download the Bioloid Premium example files, or your own code files if they have more than 3-4 lines of code. It times out and says that the download failed. This is only a limitation with the BT410 and Apple versions of the software.
I have been in touch with their support and have a recent email indicating that this quite likely could not be fixed due to the firmware, etc.
So, when I saw this update - I was hoping that it really had been fixed. Ah well - the robots are still fun…just have to use Windows Bootcamp on my MacAir and a BT210 to download files for it to work. Given the prices of these robots, it would be nice if they were truly compatible with Apple products too...
