  Switching to Chrome fixed it. I was then able to switch back to Firefox. Now I can delete Chrome. Thanks.

  I too have put together a few videos on python programming for the Omega just incase you find them helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQELgysBgQs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJCcIlCJOx4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDDq9D50wGo I also wrote a simple, simple wrapper for the gpio which was inspired by Omega user 'Dan L'. https://github.com/youngsoul/OmegaGPIO

  Sorry, I made a mistake. GPIO uses 2.7v for logic, not 2.8v. @Kit-Bishop I wouldn't go higher than 2.8 to be safe. @Per-Johan-Groland I believe the max output is 20mA.

  So that's where he did the soldering. and said that the connection is shot there, but it doesn't pass somewhere ahead.

  @Boken-Lin Hello, i just wanted to ask if you have soldered the on and off pin where the switch broke? because my switch broke and i can't switch it on using a needle. Will this work for me?

  @Boken-Lin Do you ever have one of those days when systems seem to be conspiring against you? It seems that I was totally mistaken about daylight savings not being honoured for Auckland/Wellington time zone. I have just tried again setting it via Console under Chrome and the date and time appear to be correct now. My only excuse is probably trying to do too many things simultaneously and loosing track with where I was - I apologise for wasting any of your time. However, timezone setting using console under Firefox is still doing nothing and I have no explanation yet for this. But don't spend too much time on it - it is low priority from my perspective Thanks again for your time

  @Ian-Swart As already posted by @Johannes-Zellner. Only specification is that the capacitance for the capacitors shouldn't be too big. 0.1uF will do the job.

  Thanks @Lazar-Demin I did play with these tools. Will need to put them together into a script of sorts to communicate with my sensor and get results that make sense. I may end up writing it in python from examples by @Pedro-Baco and in the LED script. Here's a man page for linux i2c-tools package http://dev.man-online.org/package/main/i2c-tools/ It has good explanations of all features of each binary. Another potentially useful reference for working with i2c in C is http://elinux.org/Interfacing_with_I2C_Devices Writing Linux i2c clients https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/i2c/writing-clients

  @Kit-Bishop you are right. I was just thinking about possibilities. I forgot by the time I posted that the poster had wanted MP3. Adafruit has some boards that could be wired up. https://www.adafruit.com/products/2133 - OGG/Wave https://www.adafruit.com/products/1381 - MP3/OGG/Wave These boards use a trigger to play that could come from the GPIO of the Omega. Their tutorials will show how to connect it to an Arduino, but connections will be similar.

  @Leonard-Stroman That makes it much easier. Code written in Python don't need to be compiled because it is an interpreted language. You simply need to install python on the Omega, copy the code over to the Omega, and it should be able to run. The only thing you will need to wait for is our python wrapper for the PWM expansion driver. We should be releasing that in the next couple of weeks.

  @Gonzalo-Garateguy I apologize for the thin documentation. We have been working hard to add more content to it. Would you be able to tell us what you are trying to build?
