If you don't know about Thingworx, it is the world's leading IoT platform... have a look here: https://www.thingworx.com/
They also have a developer zone where you can get full access to the platform: http://developer.thingworx.com/
The community support site is here: https://community.thingworx.com

We (1worx.co) have developed an edge agent for Thingworx which runs on the Onion and will allow you to control the GPIO pins as well as read data from a DHT-11 or DHT-22.

The binaries and source is available here: https://github.com/1Worx/OnionOmega

My original omega is stuck on Device Firmware Version: 0.0.1 and when I try to update it I get an error message saying: ERROR: request timeout, internet connection not successful.

I have about 20 of these guys and I just want to update them to the latest firmware available.

Can anyone help please?

I have found this:
http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/ and
http://isticktoit.net/?p=1383

Both seems to indicate that this should be possible?

I have a project where I need to record every barcode scan before it reaches the Point of Sale system.

I would like to use a USB barcode scanner, plug it into the Omega and then record each scan in a text file.

At the same time the Omega must output the barcode just scanned to the Point of Sale system via USB.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this?
