@Me-Too i would add to the discussion that the boards come in 3-packs for ~ $9US. it might be easier if you use solder paste for some of the components, put a adequate amount on the pad and place the piece then use either a soldering iron or hot air or in a pinch put it into a heated oven i suppose (never done it) if you do the oven you might want to mount all pieces first. otherwise you will be reheating the solder multiple times on some components and i'm not sure if that is best thing to do. my order is waiting on osh park getting a full panel so if you order soon it might help us all get the boards quicker. :)

@Kemal-Ficici this discussion, if you have not already read it, might help you. i like the comment about including traceback of error. anyway, turns out the guy reformatted his drive and that fixed the issue for him.

@valerionew hi. if you get the bugs worked out of the board and either you have them for sale or the pcb place has them for order i would be interested in at least 1 and maybe a couple more depending on cost or, if you can make a kit with all the components un-soldered that would save the cost of getting all the pieces i don't have available here that would be good. if all you plan to offer is soldered units then 1 of those if you can keep the cost relatively low.

your requests are looking kinda like this, right?

@Orrin-Woodard the way i read it is you take the new key and put a0 before and d after but that could be wrong so i'd have to test. but, i think that would be my first try. maybe a0 are the first 2 digits of all keys as d is the last digit in which case it is just a matter of inserting the key and it looks like you use the quotes also.

have you tried using the OLED app? perhaps an outside chance that text color is same as background color? i
am not aware of any debug commands.

looks like a nice board. i'm wondering if you have any plans to have some fabrication[pcb] firm make a batch and you sell them or at least offer for sale through the pcb firm.?

yes, i know how to search. the problem is in the usa there are not any hits that offer this td6817 as you describe. it is 100% full moon tonight so i'm gonna wait a few days and try it again. after 22 years exposure to seach on internet i know when to fold and walk away. it is an interesting build, though. thank you for that!

i bought a relay expansion also and from my reading of the various documentation i decided that i would not run more than 1.5 amps current continuously because it looks like 2A is max. i'm guessing we have the standard relay module. IM03.

i have 3 of the Omega2+ modules and each one has that line. my guess was it is related to a component used in the manufacturing being somewhat "defective" but good enough to use. like maybe a memory chip not having a specific register set or uninitialized.

the TD6817 datasheet lists output @ 1.5v or 1.8v so i'm a bit lost in understanding how it can power the Omega2+.

i was getting this segmentation fault also. could not figure out what it was. i just re-installed b160. but, the whole process got me thinking about being to upgrade all packages at one time after the update and i could not find a command to do that. it only does it on package level, by listing each package. does anyone have a favorite command to upgrade all without having to find what is upgraded package then listing it? i have yet to make such command myself that works properly. thanks for responses.

do you also have any expansion dock to check oled module with? also, have you read these,

are you initializing and turning on&off of screen?

@Anders-Öster yes, i had looked at those projects since i am now developing a lidar project with
lidar litev3 [40m range] and always interested in lidar projects, so thanks for posting. looking at others code for potential insights can sometimes help improve what i am trying to accomplish.

@Anders-Öster the thing about these chip lidars is generally they have no more than ~2 meters distance, that ~6 feet , detection. that is not very far. but, this unit does free up the main device being used in project by doing a lot of signal processing.

my experience with PWM servos , 2 standard size, is yes they do. qualified with the disclaimer that i have not done any complex tasks yet so i can not say without any doubts that they work in all circumstances. same with the OLED screen. i have yet to use the relay board. i have not tried to control any expansion from the arduino side. the few arduino sketches i've tried do compile /upload/run just fine. once again nothing complex, yet. if you have something you would like to test, pass it along.

hologram sent me an email about using their network. i have 2 particle electrons so they must have gotten my address from that forum or somebody mined my address as a probably interested. i did not buy the device they pushed on ks so i don't know what you were promised but what they have is very similar to particle electron device except they have 4G and electron is limited to 3g.

these led are not really that new & a google search would give you all the info you need. but, most everyone already knows that. my suggest [as you called it] is to realize what no response in 4 months means.

as was already mentioned,

select the "power" option to read about powering options. any good 5V adapter, really.

@Razvan-Dragomirescu tell that to them. i was just telling you that they are coding a new driver. you can argue all you want if it is needed. i have no opinion on if they need to do it.
