  @Onion-Rings The firewall is currently configured to route traffic back and forth between the AP and the home wifi. To allow forwarding of packets between ethernet and AP, you first need to create a new network under /etc/config/network by adding the following block: config interface 'wan' option ifname 'eth0' option proto 'dhcp' option hostname 'OnionOmega' Then, you will need to go into /etc/config/firewall and add the wan interface (which you have just created) into a firewall zone named wan. Simplying add `list network 'wan' to the following block: config zone option name wan list network 'wwan' #list network 'wan6' option input ACCEPT option output ACCEPT option forward REJECT option masq 1 option mtu_fix 1 Finally, you need to restart your network and your firewall with the following commands: /etc/init.d/network restart /etc/init.d/firewall restart Then your router should be able to route packets between eth0 and AP. The way you disable AP through commandline is by using the following command (assuming your AP network is interface number 0): uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].disabled=1 ; uci commit ; wifi And to enable it again, you run: uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].disabled=0 ; uci commit ; wifi

  @Boken-Lin Thanks - that information clarifies things. Thanks Look forward to future developments in relation to generating Omega specific images - it would be a good thing - mainly to make life simpler. however, i am now successfully building packages for the Omega which I can install using opkg so am currently happy with what we have

  @Boken-Lin Look forward to seeing an A/D or D/A (or both) dock that uses I2C. If it is of any assistance, I could probably assist by writing C/C++ code to access such a dock.

  Hi @Josh-Rosenthal, you can actually change the IP address of your Omega to something else to avoid conflict with your router. Just edit /etc/config/network, you should be able to find a block that looks like this: config interface 'wlan' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '192.168.3.1' option netmask '255.255.255.0' And all you need to do is to change where it says 192.168.3.1 to something else that plays a bit better with your router. Please let me know if this works! Cheers!

  Sorry - the list of usable pins was supposed to read "0, 1, 6, 7, 13, 14, 18, 19, 23, 26". These are also the only pins clickable in the Console's GPIO Tool, along with pins 8 and 9, which while clickable they resort to Direction: Output and - respectively - Value: 1 and Value 0. Are schematics for these modules available anywhere for the community? These would help immensely!

  Thanks for the reply. The device must indeed have been running some processor-intensive stuff, though I don't know what! I have not yet figured out how to run anything yet, and the device was well past boot-up. Since the thing only acted weird that one time, I'll consider it a fluke.

  Apologies for the delay, we're still a fairly small team so depending on support ticket volume or spikes in requests, we can be swamped at times. Rest assured, if it's in the queue, we will get to it asap.

  i think restart is mandatory, try adding: restart() { stop start } at the end of the file, chmod it you didn't already, enable and reboot

  @Pavils-Jurjans I apologize for causing the embarrassment. Unfortunately wifisaint doesn't have any logs right now. However it does output dmesg when it encounters errors. Can you describe what you were doing? Our new wifi setup tool will be released soon, and hopefully it will eliminate all of these issues. Thank you for your patience!

  Hi @T-F, it seems that the /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind file exists, but I'm unable to echo anything to it. So I guess this feature isn't supported by the Omega.

  I have only used motion on the raspberry pi, but it's function is to take a photo or short video when motion is detected. It is a much simpler algorithm than opencv. You can actually use opencv to detect objects and faces. I haven't used it yet, but now have a book on the project and intend to try to get it to recognize members of my family. I was able to get the omega to stream video pretty easily (there are other threads). It was a pain to get the streaming library compiled on the pi.
