How do I know if my Cobox Mini supports internal web pages?

The easiest way to tell if your Cobox Mini supports internal
web pages is by examining the connectors on the board of the device. If there is a second row of connectors (CON4) next to CON1 then your Cobox Mini will support the internal web pages. The older Cobox Mini does not have enough flash memory to load the web pages & the firmware. So loading the web pages over-writes the firmware and this kills the unit. The connectors on your Cobox Mini should be the same as the diagram below.

To load the internal web pages the Cobox Mini must be running version 4.1 or higher firmware.

You will also need to load the .cob file located here:
