Should be all up to date now! -ET-

Eric, Some minor changes:

• “Zigbee Network” link (http://zigbeehttps//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zigbee) does not work.
• Can you provide more specific links to the download files for the Revolution
• What is the “correct” USB adapter? And why is it the “correct” one?
• I assume the “Goal” paragraph refers to your goal, not the readers. As you do research, you will add the results to this paragraph (or elsewhere).
• The :USB programming adapter” link caused a download of a “revoprog.zip” file, which my MAC unzipped into “RevoProg.exe” dated 4 Dec, 2016. MACs running MacOs won’t run “.exe” files - they are Windows. Is it possible to get a “.jar” version (like a Java implementation) that will run on any OS? Also, I think people will be a bit cautous about downloading executable files. And it’s confusing to me how I would insert the downloaded adpater into a USB port. (Relates back to what a “correct” USB adapter is?)
• I opened and read part of the “Windows 11” page. The first thing that hit me was:

"Note: Windows 11 Installation Assistant doesn’t run on Arm-based PCs; it only works for x64 processors."

But I noticed that you said you were running Windows on an Arm architecture MAC. So I looked at the next link (“Parallels”) and think I see the answer. It will cost $55 to install Parallels (my MAC is Arm-based). Then I can run the Windows apps (e.g., the “RevoProg.exe”) on my MAC. I’ll have to dig into this further. But to run just one app, it’s not very cost effective. I do have a Dell, running Windows. But I hated it too, and it has been sitting - unused - on my desk for almost 2 years now. The battery is probably really dead.

• I didn’t understand the rest of the paragraph - about “… getting the USB to passthrough…”.
• I obviously have not run the “PC Software”. So I don’t know what those LEDs are. I’m guessing they are on the USB Adpater that is connected to the computer through the dongle chord.
• Next I’m guessing the “Programmer Interface” (AKA: The USB Adapter?) will make a Bluetooth or WiFi connection to the desired device. How this automatically happens is a mystery to me, as I haven’t seen any “pairing” operations or WiFi login operations yet. Nor do I see a direct wire connection from the subject device to the “Programmer Interface”. So how is this happening?
• In “Updating the throttle”: It may “break” your throttle (not “brick”)?

So, with all that said, I really appreciate you putting this together and posting it. Hopefully, folks will get a big help from it.
