@Andre-Courchesne I kinda wish I'd gotten my later as I have already done the opkg update when I was trying to get things running.
Maybe I'll need to do a factory reset and start fresh.
BTW, nice review! I was under the impression I had to flash onion's bootloader in order for it to be seen by the Arduino IDE wirelessly, but it seems like that isn't the case?
@Andre-Courchesne Awesome!! Thanks for your update!
edit: sweet, looks like the dock does work out of the box, once I run through your steps to downgrade avrdude things go a bit more smoothly.
Though flashing the bootloader still fails, but at least I can start flashing other things to it. Thanks again!

> ERROR, flash NOT successful`@Kit-Bishop You're right, that table on that link you posted pins 19 appear identical on both omega and omega2.
Therefore the discrepancy must be just on the expansion headers that the docks include?
Hopefully you get yours soon since I'm just hitting roadblock after roadblock. I dont have any breadboards that are the correct size for the omega2 so that end up going nowhere unless I buy and wait for the breadboard dock.
I did some digging around and when running the command opkg install arduino-dock I picked up the url, http://repo.onion.io/omega2/packages/onion/ on that page are some references to arduino-dock-2.
So i tried pulling some of those files down and seeing if I saw anything useful, but it's still all pretty new to me so i got no where. Can those pin numbers just be changed to use a different pin on the ArDock2 that isn't a ground pin?
Also quite a longshot, but I though that maybe there was a chance that the onion peeps may have hidden the ability to just flash the bootloader, so I opkg install arduino-dock-2 and tried the flash bootloader script, and pretty much errorred out saying:
Can't export GPIO 19, already exported/busy?: Invalid argument
Anyways, I'm still tinkering away, hoping i don't brick something lol.
Happy New Years
@Kit-Bishop Thank you so much! I'm really excited to get this thing going and start on some projects!
So I was going to give it a try earlier but I hit a snag.
In comparing the pins from the table to the expansion headers (pin diagrams) of both the Arduino Dock 2 and the Expansion Docks, pin 19 is missing from the Arduino Dock 2.
Hopefully someone from Onion can chime in or update the guide like you mentioned. But until then i think I'm going to have to breadboard it out.
I'll report back if I have any success.
Cheers.
So I did the same thing, but on purpose. I chose the arduino dock as a way to learn arduino programming and i liked the idea of being able to flash remotely.
That said, I have no other dock, and the documentation is very lite on the arduino dock 2. But I did manage to get my Omega2+ set up and on wifi no problem.
I just docked the omega on the Arduino Dock 2 (AD2) and powered both via micro USB connection on the AD2. wifi connection showed up and went through setup. I recommend creating your cloud account and verifying (via confirmation email) before going though setup if you plan on using the cloud console.
Also, when flashing the update the web interface showed a progress bar and said it all went though ok, but the Omega2 didn't reboot afterwards (LED stayed off) so i simply unplugged and replugged the power and it came up fine, working normally.
Now, I need to figure out if the arduino dock 2 comes ready to use out of the box or if I need to flash the bootloader on it. Doesn't seem to be much info on v2 of the dock.
Anyone know if I can us the Ω2 pin breakouts on the AD2 and follow these instructions to flash the dock?
