Hey @Chris-Drake , in the mean time i got my omega2+ too. So mine had the LED permanent on when i plugged on , i had to do a firmware upgrade till i could work with it.
About your question what you could do because of a Hardware problem is, to take pictures of your hardware and check if you can see some soldering bridges etc. Post it here that we can help looking.
If we know what kind of hardware you have, we can give advice who is helpful for you. A picture says more than 1000 words!
About the buttons ... one is slide-able and the other is a press button. The first is power on/of the second is a reset button. But depending on your boards the reset button will not work with older/factory firmware.
@Scott-W-Wood said in Any way to speed up (at least part of) my dock order?:
Did I ask how to configured a power source for my iOmega?
Not really, but speed up your request is quite impossible because there are thousands of others who wait to ... so to speed up you just can do, if you get your hands dirty and do it your self!
A free tip for you ... just check your power equipment again and use shorter but thicker cable ... this might solve your problem ... with or without capacitor.
BTW, please don't blame us. We try to help ... and we not get paid for it. I got also a bit pissed off that they send you here with your logistical problem.
P.S.
To power the Omega is just one of the other challenges you have to go thru
I am planning to create my own custom dock. Instead of CP2102 USB to serial converter, I am planning to user CH340G which is easy to solder. For power supply, I am planning to user AMS1117 since I assume that Omega2 does not require more than 300mA. I notice that in the schematic, the voltage divider is used between PC_TXD and RXD. Is it to reduce the 5V to 3.3V? I am planning to use CH340G with 3.3V power supply. Something like this. If do so, should I use the voltage divider network? I assume that I don't have to use. Will post the schematic for the review once I complete.
@Gabriel-Ongpauco Thanks.
It is wireless, and cloud.onion.io is properly what I'm looking for.
Just one last question is it possible via the api ".../file/exec" to run a python script on the omega?
@Chuck-Malloch There is no apt-get, you use opkg. Specifically, you need to enable the LEDE-repos in /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf, then call opkg update and opkg install subversion or whatever -- subversion is only available in the LEDE-repos for now.
For me it looks like you don't have a internet connection.
Can you ping repo.onion.io ?
If not go thru the the documentation again to configure.
First troubleshoot to see if you bring the omega online: https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/first-time-troubleshooting.html
Thanks @Luciano-S for linking that thread, I was just looking for that!
One of our other community members in that thread also explained that the contact surfaces may be micro-welding when contacting/separating due to high current. He advised to activate/deactivate the relays a couple of times so the contacts would become smoother and less likely to micro-weld: http://community.onion.io/topic/784/resolved-relays-sticking/20. See if that helps and let us know.

I just got my Omega2+ yesterday. The Cloud Compile feature seems to still be broken? My job is stuck in the queued state. Can it be possible that this has been broken continuously for the last 5 months?
@Costas-Costas Thanks, that's plan B: connect Arduino dock with omega through Firmata or so, and use Blynk node js lib.
But If It's possible to fix SSL easily, I'd go that way.
Brad, yes I have done the WiFi, so I expected the Omega to be on my local (home) network and not to keep having to connect to the Omega hotspot (which the documentation seems to prefer).
As noted above 'ifconfig' gave me a hint and I can now connect to 192.168.0.17 (the Omega) and other devices on the 192.168.0.x network without changing my laptop's WiFi.

According to the documentation, the USB storage should be auto mounted but yes i have try to mount it manually and it works! Thanks.
