I had some difficulties with Linux/Firefox. The Messages are displaying on the top right corner and hide the menu. So "Add Setup Code" was not reachable.

A other issue I have when i click with Linux/Chrome on the my devices cloud (on the right half of the blue cloud) when I'm online. I get the "new device" dialogue, instead of "my device" opened.

I read that some people had difficulties to follow the instructions the onioners made (incl. the blue bullet infos). So here are my view steps I made to add a device. Hope it helps newbies.

To add a Device:

Before you start to use the cloud, please update your device, that you have the full functionality of it.

1. Connect to the cloud.onion.io preferably with Google Chrome.
2. Navigate to the "Device Manager"
3. Click on "add Device".
4. Add name and comment for the Device.
5. Save the information to Create this device.
6. Click on the Device again, and click on "Setup Code" on right top corner.
7. Navigate to the Omega (local address) and open the "Settings" Icon.
8. On the left side click on "Cloud Settings" (just visible with newest firmware).
9. Add your setup-code in the field, you copied before in the Clipboard, and save it.
   9.1) If you get wrong Setup Code, refresh cloud.onion.io navigate to the "Device Manager" again, refresh the "Device Secret".
   Re-open "Setup Code" and copy and paste the new one locally, and save it.
10. Your done if you see the "Device ID" & Secret displayed.

Have a nice cloudy day

A good way to start is to klick on the question mark (?) on the top right corner of the compose window (see attached image). There you get the daringfireball website with a lot of explanations.

If you like just a cheatcheet you can finde one here.

The short definition from Wikipedia:
"Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax designed so that it can be converted to HTML and many other formats using a tool by the same name."

So far so good....

For the back-tick key (the single quote key is not the same and not works) I had some trouble to find it. I use a non US keyboard with a Brazilian layout. On the keyboard itself it has two back ticks. but just one is working. The first shows up under the Esc key and should work just with a "US layout"

On the Brazilian Keyboard layout it is localized on a key with the forward- & back-tick together. In a combination of a other letter they appear when kicking first on it and then the letter à è ì ò ù etc.

For the markdown it is needed without a letter and i have to press it twice & shift ore once & shift and followed by a space ! on my Brazilian layout.

If you have a Windows operating-system you should be able to turn on the Num Lock key and press Alt & 96 on the numeric bloc to get a back-tick symbol. If there are more symbols needet as one, this could be solved with Ctrl & c then Ctrl & v

Linux and OSx should have also such Alt key alternatives, but i could not find it out jet or at least on my Linux Mint it is not working.

Now as we discussed some basics we can color up our request with the markdown as the a lot of members already do.

Happy Markdowning

That's the subject :

For the omega1 was it so, that you had first to config the lan (adapter) and then give access over the firewall to use the wifi & lan.

Check:
wiki
docs
In your case it looks like that you just have to activate lan (Ethernet Dock) and deactivate the wlan (putting # in front of Statements) in /etc/config/wireless.

As long as you not give access between wlan & normal lan, i guess you not have to be worried. On lan you best use Static IP Adress ... so DHCP must be deactivated.

About the firewall you have to check out the document how to use omega as Router.

@manuti-manuti said in Determining demand for an Omega and Omega 2 book:

Is interesting, but you also must think in a combined version with different devices.
Regards.

He does, explains about arduino and Pi working together. See Pi manual.

@Neil-Kolban, did you see the book from @Lazar-Demin on Kickstarter?
I would check such things first. And also as you wrote it is about a lot of work ... i guess you are true ... thats why i not would do it alone ... do it on github as a collaboration.

@srikrishna-Acharya give them a bit more time ... they are very busy:

@Lazar-Demin said in The Onion App SDK is here!:
.... we've just got our hands very full with the campaign right now! But rest assured that it will be available as soon as it's ready, we never give up until our Onioneers get everything we promised them!

Your welcome
I made a pull request to highlight it better in the tutorial.

@Jim-Esposito did you see in the end of the tutorial abut formatting correctly the USB-Stick/SD-card?

@Lazar-Demin thx for your answer.

I found some interesting articles by googling:
USB cable resistance (Especially conclusion on end of article).
Identifying the Correct USB Cables Type (with picture)

The first article shows the problematic of charging a battery with power loss because of wrong diameter of the cable who transmits the power.

The second article mentions beside power loss, side effects of missing isolation.

My conclusion:
Shorter cable are better when they have the right diameter and isolation (inside). Mine (charging cable from my new galaxy tablet) works fine now but makes noise in the speakers. Apparently captures the WIFI signal and transmits it to the USB Bus.

@administrators, might be a good idea to do some tests in the Lab with a maximum of extensions connected. But especially when you start to sell the battery extensions, that they transmit enough energy to load them correct. Probably add one to the online shop could avoid a lot a headache for you

@tjoseph1 thx a lot ... worked fine.

It is long since i worked with my omega2+ . Would like transfer a newer image to the onion and do a factory reset to start over.

I do have the EXP DOCK and use the Ethernet module. I went trough de Technical FAQs section and not got what i looked for.

the image section i found again (http://repo.onioniot.com/omega2/images/) and i do belief the omega2p-v0.3.2-b244.bin is what i looking for?
Just missing the instructions how to bring the image to the omega2+ that i can do the factory reset.

thx in advance for hints , links and nice words

@Aron said in Bad news, bad manners:

Your forum has been offline for a few days, but there is no information what is going on.

https://community.onion.io/topic/2071/community-is-back-online
at least a note what happened would be nice anyway.

This ticket simply got closed without any kind of reply.

Even if the onioneers promised not to do so anymore it looks like they still do it. (buuu)

Is the project practically dead now? I see only marketing related updates on the website...

Just cancel the newsletter and you have peace

power-dock application is a binary rather than a python script, but maybe the source code for it is available somewhere?

@György-Farkas said in Omega2, yet another dud.:

@luz
There's no need to say sorry. We all know well it was a simple 'Oops!' situation.

Exactly that's what i was thinking too... sorry have to say those, who make an open-source project halfway closed source and start every year a new kick-starter campaign that they can say sorry ... kkkk

@Kurt-Roesener said in Unable to successfully change password...:

Since when is trying to improve a Beta version of something, 'bitching'??

Of course it is a good thing to improve a beta version. Just in this case of the Onion project it is also a waist of time to do so.

In a good working Open-source community you get access to the full source code and the Project owner generally work hard with the community together.

The forum here is basically community driven and the majority wants to help quickly not loosing a lot of time. That's why you got the advice to solve problem in Terminal.

p.s
did you get a try on the chrome browser? Or better if you are a Opera Fan you could try vivaldi.

@Futsking-Futsker , to check if it is a bug you need to tell the firmware version you use ... both of you.

@Kegan-Brauning , isent there still the option to install a firmware from the USB-Penndrive?
