@Don--White also, i just discovered that the dec update on kickstarter was added to the indiegogo site on 1/3/19 so the 2 platforms seem to have basically the same info now except for comments by backers. interesting to me is that kickstarter restricts access to the updates for non backers of the project thru ks , but indiegogo does not.
@Don--White IIRC, they advertised it pretty early on in the general comments on the ks page or maybe one of the earlier updates. they used to put updates on indiegogo also but that december one was not. also, recently found this page which was setup by an oboo owner for exchanging info,

through an access rights error for me.

any suggestions?
onion did set up this,

although it appears to be under utilized by onion as well as users of oboo.
at a local hacker space there have been some diy test bed boards made with straight pogo pins that allow for use with castellated or half hole cards. best to use some type of drill press or cnc so the holes are perpendicular. also, solid anchoring of pin will help make it last. i've also in the past tried to find those shown in video. no luck. but, that safety pin solution looks like a possibility. thanks, @GYÖRGY FARKAS , for that link.
i'm thinking since you mention the onion flavor openwrt OS as being compatible with the earlier omega2[+] devices and shipping of this pro is a little over a month away that perhaps you have a build of this OS available now for current omega2 device owners to download and do some testing? also, is the price on crowdsupply a pre-release special or will the price remain as listed now after you start shipping? finally, there have been a several mentions of kernel mis-match issues for some users who needed a newer kernel than what onion OS has in order to install various packages and being unable to update. will this new OS be such that when openwrt build moves to a newer kernel that the onion flavored one on our devices will also have an option to easily update to the newer kernel if desired? thanks.
so, Don, do you have any particular question about the onion products you would like to ask?
i'd suggest looking at the network map of your local wifi network. usually routers have admin access which allows you to see the map and determine what IP address the router has assigned to the omega2. using that local network IP address will allow the other computers access to the omega2.
they say openwrt 18.06 as operating system which might be an indication that onion will no longer make the firmware. of course it may mean that the onion FW build is based on openwrt 18.06 but that is not what they state. so, if openwrt 18.06 [and newer] is the future then it does raise the question of will the current omega2 FW continue to be developed?
@Yvan-Gagnon visit the firewall settings. i get there via control panel/windows defender firewall/advanced settings then just look around.
@Yvan-Gagnon i thought bonjour was supposed to resolve that on the pc. you could check that you have no firewall on pc or router blocking udp port 5353. bonjour install is supposed to handle windows firewall setup but some routers block all udp ports by default. check the router firewall via admin page via browser.
yes, cas is right concerning IP. generally, your router will assign an IP to the onion that fits within it's network. so if you are connected to the router you need to use the IP assigned to the onion by the router. you should be able to access a network map of the router by browsing to 192.168.0.1 or something similar established by the router. the map will give you the IP address assigned by the router. use that IP when connected to router and the onion IP when connected to the onion. at least that is how i handle it and it has worked for me. good luck.
ok, it seems the omega2 is connected to your router since it can serve webpages. what i do not understand is the thread states unable to connect via wifi and yet you state you can surf/email when connected to wifi access point. it can't be both.
yeah, i think that is just the way it is with the file system when space gets short. however, one thing you can do is the pivot-overlay procedure,
https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/boot-from-external-storage.html
maybe this link helps, if you have not already seen it.
https://github.com/OnionIoT/Onion-Docs/blob/master/Omega2/Documentation/Doing-Stuff/Connectivity/Connect-to-enterprise-wifi.md
you might get a contact name by doing a search on the fcc site for the onion fcc registration documents. sometimes those documents list the person at the company who handled the registration sometimes companies hire 3rd parties to deal with the fcc registration and then have no 1st party contact.
@William-Scott i did not remember that from original post. are you sure that the omega2 is inserted correctly in the dock giving you issues? reason i ask is i swap out of docks frequently and some times find myself getting it wrong way or a set of pins not in socket. other than that i haven't a clue as to why this would happen.
probably try a power up via direct connection to pins. absent any activity that way i may try a power applied shorting of pins but if nothing lights up i'd consider it dead for the moment as at that point i'd guess i'd need to remove the shield and trace to the point that applied power stops on the circuit. in any event these things, as well as all electronic devices and humans/animals/plants do eventually die. :) good luck.
hi, can't answer your specific questions but if faced with the same dilemma i would try the usb recovery flash method to determine if that process gave similar results.
yes. you can flash openwrt, test, and if you do not like it then flash omega2+. i did it about 1 month ago. i'm now back with omega2+ firmware. one thing i noticed about openwrt is it seems that for security reasons the wifi is disabled at first so you will need to enable it. after enabled, at least on the build i got, IPv4 is not implemented , rather it seems IPv6 is the default so you either have to have an IPv6 network ready setup or you need to be able to implement IPv4 through the settings. i could not get IPv4 setup so i returned to omega2+. be aware that if not on IPv6 network or unable to implement IPv4 then the only way i could find to flash the omega2+ firmware was using the emergency usb recovery method via boot process select. but actually, i encourage you to try it and report your experiences in this thread cause it may be i just failed completely as a result of being totally clueless in my attempts to get it running. i've read other people say they have been successful but never have read the process used. good luck.
