@Roger-Sinasohn OK. Now I see that you want to use a special momentary (ON)-OFF-(ON) version of the standard SPDT switch.
It has a third switching position in the centre which is off and returns to the central off position when released.

About the 8th GPIO:
Omega2(+)'s U-Boot set GPIO11 to Output and High (this is a "secret" hack of Onion guys ;).
With a fast-gpio set-input 11 command you will get that highly requested 8th GPIO Input - but in this case

the on board RESET BUTTON of the Expansion Dock won't work and you can't use Onion's genuine PWM Expansion and OLED Expansion without some little hardware modifications

Maybe I'll write "a few" words about that debouncing circuit... later.

@Douglas-Kryder WOW! Great suggestion! Thank you!

@Maximilian-Gerhardt - this is awesome!!! Thank you.

@cas said in libcurl - SSL and GZIP:

opkg install ca-bundle

Great, thanks @cas - opkg install ca-bundle sorted that first one!

@György-Farkas wow yes my password was incorrect

Solved here following that :

@Paul-Cousins said in Nextion NX3224T024 - Generic 2.4'' TFT Intelligent LCD Touch Display:

@Edwin-Ascencio It doesn't look like have any level shifting circuitry on the serial tx/rx so the 3.3v from omega might not be high enough to drive the 5V uart on screen. You are also feeding back 5V into the omega via the rx pin so could possibly do some damage over time.

OP's circuit is OK - level shifting is not needed between Omega2(+)'s serial port and Nextion NX3224T024 - Generic 2.4'' TFT Intelligent LCD Touch Display.
See also NX3224T024_011 datasheet.

I have used this LCD and have gotten it to work with a tutorial here.

This is how I got it working with the LCD

You will need to get an expansion dock, power dock or mini dock or ardruino dock to really make it easy to work with. If you didnt, you can order one from the indygogo campaign.

@Johannes--Klupfel
nano is an easy-to-use Command-Line text editor.
opkg update
opkg install nano

BTW vi is the default editor on Omega.
vi -H

@Johannes--Klupfel said in how to edit STK01-blink.py file using terminal?:

If the file was on my mac, i could edit it in my text editor, but I don't know how to access the file on the omega.

Transferring Files to the Omega Using Linux or Mac OS X

Cheers.

Little update: for now I'm trying just to connect a light sensor read the data with i2ctools
The i2c sensor is a BH1750FVI, I'm able to retrieve the address ( 0x23 ) with i2cdetect but if I try to look for some data with i2cdump there are all zeros...I've tried to put the sensor under a light or in the dark, nothing changed.
Any guess?

@Eric-Min Welcome to the community.
Just have a look in the Wiki there it has a project section.

The audio streaming project looks not so complicated and you will need just a usb audiocard.

Just use it as it is .. opkg. Make a postit close to the monitor to remember the command ;) I also prefer apt/apt-get but if you want to work with several Distributions of linux you have to get used that there are a lot of packet-managements.

@Lazar-Demin @onion and Indiegogo backers also (E-book)?

The Omega is meant for everyone, as is the forum, we're all here to learn and have fun, so let's keep it civil!

Bookmark this link and you have it easier to find things about the onion

Just keep also the footer in mind on onion.io .. there are several links too.

Btw, there are no stupid questions ... just sometimes stupid answers :smile:

What do you mean with the console? Just put the IP in the browsers address bar and you can log into your onion (default is with a active WIFI connection 192.168.3.1).

Don't forget to use Google Chrome for setting up ... Firefox and other browsers might been not working fine.
