I did it I got it to boot up but I can't get it to update one step closer.

Actually I just found out there is a reset button on the mini dock. I set it up using a public wifi at starbucks. And that is the issue

The problem with the serial is I am on el captain and it doesn't seem to work with it

I havent really used my onion since i got it. I switched from python to node and now that it supports node i was gonna start hacking. The problem is i can get my onion to show up on my computers wifi or using the terminal. I wait for it to boot up, and the amber light comes on but i cant see it in my wifi connection.
