I have "debricked" the Omega 2+ with the new power dock and have installed the b160 image on to it. My next project is to build an LEDE cross compiler for Mediatek.
Thanks so much for all your advise.

An Emulator for MT7688 Development
This is an open source emulator of an Omega2+ like board.
They are Chinese - in a Chinese community - so they are mostly write Chinese language - I think.

Yep, for current measurement of an ammeter,
thick (heavy gauge) wires would be essential for minimal resistance and not to affect circuit operations.
For this use case, I'd recommend 18 AWG or better.

@Steve-Smythe and others.
Does the following syntax still work for you with IFTTT?
https://api.onion.io/v1/devices/<device-id>/i2c_exp/oled-exp?key=<API-key>
The Maker Webhooks channel doesnt seem to work with this URL and any JSON I use in the body. I believe it's returning "Missing Authentication Token".
I've followed the steps outlined here, but they may be stale?
@Ashu-Joshi
Arduino Dock Initial Setup tutorial is related to Omega (ie the previous version) and the first version of the Arduino Dock.
Use it carefully!
@Ashu-Joshi said in Arduino Dock 2: Setup:
I wired up the Expansion board with Omega2+ and the Arduino Dock 2 expansion - BUT I could NOT get the Omega2+ to power up at all.
Omega2 is a 3.3V povered device and its GPIO pins are not 5V tolerant.
VIH (Voltage Input High) absolute maximum is 3.3V - 10% + 0.3V = 3.27V ... 3.3V + 10% + 0.3V = 3.93V.
Arduino is 5V powered on the Arduino Dock 2 so it may damage your Omega2 if you connect them in the mentioned way.
I am still relatively new to the Arduino world - I am guessing that if I have an Arduino sketch that is collecting data from I2C sensors such as BME280 or Gas sensors then the sketch won't work in with the Arduino dock R2 + Omega 2+? I would have re-write those sketches?
Thanks you all.
I was thinking in getting a dock whit serial connection but before buying it what it to see if theres another way.
still before it gets here if theres a way still open to it.
And Douglas, have tried whit your way too and is not connecting
Thanks again
Thanks for that, it's very much appreciated. Playing with my own firmware is out because I don't have the spare time
I can use a micro to handle power management; an attiny should do the job. I was hoping for a solution that used discrete components though.
I'm doing a project that will be battery powered from a less than 700mAh battery for periods of about 1 hour at a time. It will be completely sealed and inaccessible so the battery will remain connected all of the time and it will be charged either with a usb cable or via an inductive circuit.
The intention was to have a single momentary push button to turn it on (if there was enough power) and it could turn itself off if the battery dropped too low or it was shutdown via the wifi gui.
Omega is not really a solution if you plan using it with other power source than USB adapter.
I would recommend going for the AVRs and if you need for example Wi-Fi, you might consider connecting AVR to ESP8266 and so on.
Properly prepared AVR-ESP stack can be ran on standard batteries for many weeks, even months (of course it strictly depends on your project).
Resolved using console-install-tool
Console working again after typing the following:
uci set onion.console.setup=1
uci set onion.console.install=1
uci commit onion
console-install-tool
Now have to try wifisetup again to fix Terminal problem.
From command line:
wifisetup
reboot
Everything back to normal
@Nicholas-Coles
If I were you, I would flash the omega2p-v0.1.10-b160.bin firmware from USB, continue with a First Time Setup.
Happy Debricking! :slight_smile:
