The new OS release has Kernel crashes when trying to do things with Audio. I cannot seem to run through these steps without a crash:

This fixes the cloud connect issue, but I still have an issue with expled not working for the RGB led on the expansion board. I have to downgrade the firmware to 0.1.6-b137 in order to get it working, and then I can;t connect to the cloud! Can we have an upgrade that fixes both issues please?

I applied the latest update, per your instructions, then decided I'd set up my SD Card per:

https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/boot-from-external-storage.html#boot-from-external-storage-mounting-the-external-storage-device

For some reason, while the "block detect" command did come up with a useful output, I couldn't redirect that output to /etc/config/fstab - So I did it manually!

However, despite working through all of that, on reboot the Omega 2+ I have doesn't remember there was an SD card in the slot! I have to eject the SD Card, and reinsert it, and then the OS sees it.

Which means that I can't boot from it....

Hi All, I gather from the onion team that there is a known issue with onion cloud which is stopping devices from registering with the cloud and being used in this way. The technical team are working on this though so some guidance may come in due course.

We just need to be patient :-)

Problem solved. Running opkg update, then opkg install obidots-client worked.

@Lazar-Demin, I read the last update from Kickstarter (I'm backer too), about that will sent a form for enter delivery info and calculate ship rate. I remember the email with 'Free Kickstarter Shiping' message... are you considering that? and How I have to do for get the free board too? :D

I re-tested the exact same as my last post but with "oled-exp dim on" set and it lasted from midnight to 10:19am. So the brightness of the OLED can pretty significantly increase battery duration :)

And yes @Lazar-Demin , solar panel status and the 1-wire temperature reading for the temperature of the room the Onion is in.
The photo was taken at night while the inverters were not producing power.

I just need to make some sort of case / caddy for the Onion to go in so I don't feel like I"m carrying around a fragile egg!

Summary:
Onion + Power Dock + 1-Wire Temperature Sensor + Ping + reading 1-wire every 2 minutes = 11 hours 19 minutes.

Onion + Power Dock + 1-Wire Temperature Sensor + Ping + reading 1-wire every 2 minutes + OLED Expansion on default brightness + 5 second wgets and displaying returned data on OLED = 8 hours.

Onion + Power Dock + 1-Wire Temperature Sensor + Ping + reading 1-wire every 2 minutes + OLED Expansion on the lower brightness setting + 5 second wgets and displaying returned data on OLED = 10 hours 19 minutes.

@Gabriel-Ongpauco Literally what I thought of when I say that. I constantly tell people "I'm gonna be a real boy" in the Shrek Pinocchio voice whenever they ask me what I'm planning on doing ;)

We've been listening to your feedback (and reading the submitted bug reports), and we've been working hard to improve the Cloud.

Checkout the latest updates at cloud.onion.io

There is a variety of visual and usability changes that we hope will make you fall in love with the Cloud (even more).
And we've fixed those pesky bugs making life hard in browsers other than Chrome. You will now be able to use Firefox and Safari without any issues!

As always, happy hacking!
Be sure to tell us what you like/don't like and keep submitting those bug reports if you have an issue!

@Jonathan-Miller We've been backlogged with a lot of stuff but we've managed to get to Ubidots!

It's now available, check out this thread for more details: https://community.onion.io/topic/922/blynk-and-ubidots-support

@Vyacheslav-Bachynskyi We made some upgrades to the firmware server so there was some downtime last week. Should be running smoothly now. Let me know if it isn't!

@Thorsten-Ludewig The Omega is most likely having issues connecting to your WiFi network. Can you please make an issue at https://github.com/OnionIoT/wdb40/issues and I'll provide support.

Good thing to have finally recent Node support. That I think makes the omega the cheapest device able to run node at this time.
The requirement for USB storage is a bit bad, probably having a SD card socket on the board would be a good thing to consider for further iterations.
Thanks anyway to the onion team for the hard work!

@Bryan-Hilterbrand
Nice! Here's your test program on my Omega at the office:

@Lazar-Demin Cool :-) Thanks - very useful!
As is the information at https://wiki.onion.io/Technical-Drawings/Omega-and-Expansions-Technical

What we need now is for the circuit schematics for the Omega and all Expansions to be publicly available

@Milan-Vuckovic yep, everything is safe now!

@Lazar-Demin

Cool and I saw those changes in the last update :) Also pleased to say I tested a USB audio device and it works reasonably well. I say reasonably because when playing straight wavs at high bitrate it can stumble andstutter a bit but not all the time. Restart the stream an it will work. Sounds like an USB IRQ /Buffer issue to me. However as madplay works perfectly playing mp3s with no errors and wavs take up so much space who cares?

Really nice Calculator app though. In fact I am loving all the apps so far. Any idea when the App store will go live? Looking forward to seeing what will appear.

Keep it up!

All works great now! Thanks for the hard work on this.
