No amber led, no wifi, no /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART

Thank you all for your support.
I installed today the drivers on El Capitan and rebooted just in case, but there is no change at all. Tonight I will try on a PC and will update the status. Meanwhile I'm attaching an image that might help to show any dumb connection I made.
...By the way I'm sure it's very well inserted into the expansion
Thanks!

Hi @Pedro-Cervantes-Pintor, would you be able to try a different USB cable? Some cables on the market are power-only, so they don't actually transmit any data. That might be the cause of your computer not detecting the device at all. Can you try it and let me know the result?
-
Hi Boken Lin.
You are right, I bought a new cable and I can see now the tty device. I typed the command "screen /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART" and got a login message. After some research I used root/5up and finally got in.
I believe that I need to flash my device, if this is true can you send me please a link or any source of information?
Thanks in advance.

@Pedro-Cervantes-Pintor Do you happen to have an ethernet expansion?
-
No, I just have the expansion dock, mini dock, arduino dock, and I'm waiting the shipment for the battery dock
-
@Pedro-Cervantes-Pintor Do you have resistors, capacitors and a breadboard? If you do we can show you how to make an ethernet expansion on your own so you would be able to re-flash the Omega right away.
-
I have some resistors and a breadborard, but no capacitors at all.
...It sounds like is not going to be as easy as I expected :S
-
@Boken-Lin I have seen other posts (which I can't find at the moment :-() relating to this.
I think it would be helpful if the information on how to wire up an ethernet expansion was placed on the Wiki.I appreciate that you are all pretty busy, but I think it would help if such common information were held in a single place.

@Pedro-Cervantes-Pintor You can find some information about it in the following two posts: https://community.onion.io/topic/130/debrick-with-serial/ and https://community.onion.io/topic/157/reflash-omega-without-ethernet/2. If you think this is too difficult, just let me know and I'll send you an ethernet expansion.
@Kit-Bishop I'm half way through writing that tutorial. Just waiting for https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13021 to arrive. Didn't want to break an existing Ethernet cable, lol.

@Boken-Lin Cool! Thanks

I made half the circuit published at https://community.onion.io/topic/130/debrick-with-serial/6 as described in https://community.onion.io/topic/157/reflash-omega-without-ethernet
I was trying to follow the instructions at https://community.onion.io/topic/67/onion-omega-seems-to-have-no-wifi
But can't connect to the tftp server. If all the connections are correct I guess I should be able to ping from my computer to the Onion, is this correct? If so, then I have to check my connections.

Hi @Pedro-Cervantes-Pintor, can you post a picture of your setup? Also, are you seeing any error outputs? If so can you copy and paste it here for us to take a look at?
