@abdullahjhatial said in Onion Tau stopped sending data...: did you resolve this issue ? i am also facing same issue ,

@igorgaldeano Seems like some files have disappeared. Try a factory reset to restore everything back to normal. https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/factory-reset.html

Added some more pictures as requested in ticket 16582. When omega failed, it was connected like this – nothing more was connected. Later on, as recommended in ticket 16419, serial connection was added to the header pins 5 & 6 (GPIO 13 & 12) and I'm sure I wired it correctly because I checked on other omega I have and I saw omega ASCII art and the kernel loading:

Did anyone reported something like that before? How long do I need to wait to get that replaced / repaired?

Yep, thought I was right.. It's just a NC so it's bridged and even on the schematic.

@Eric-Min Omega's Wifi AP: SSID: Omega-ABCD where ABCD are the last four alphanumeric characters from the sticker Password: 12345678 The default serial settings: 115200 Baud, 8N1, (Flow control: none) Good luck!

Chris, thank you for your help, I will order a converter to be able to act quickly. My problem update: After several attemps (power on-off) Omega Onion led became solid and it finally connected to the Wi-Fi network and I reached it through web browser interface via WiFi. I don't know what triggerred this failure mode. However there is a problem with the Omega; my device is running continuosly and after about 1 day I cannot connect it via web browser at local network. I experienced this problem more than once. It still functions and active at cloud, strangely does not respond at local network(WiFi) via Putty or web browser. What might be the root cause, any idea? Thanks, Fatih

@Anthony-Kelly You might try unplugging the omega from the dock and putting a small piece of jumper wire between the receive and transmit connectors of the connector the omega sits in (just be careful to get those and not power lines - a 1k resistor would work too, and be more tolerant of mistakes). With the wire in place whatever you type in a serial terminal should echo back, without it the echo should stop. That would test the USB-serial distinctly from the Omega 2.

@Ken-Conrad Thank you it works fine

@György-Farkas Thank you. So damned simple I couldn't see it.

Solved. Using a 0.5mm wire, I could successfully boot. Now waiting some components to build my own dock, with USB functionality as well.

Hey @Chris-Drake , in the mean time i got my omega2+ too. So mine had the LED permanent on when i plugged on , i had to do a firmware upgrade till i could work with it. About your question what you could do because of a Hardware problem is, to take pictures of your hardware and check if you can see some soldering bridges etc. Post it here that we can help looking. If we know what kind of hardware you have, we can give advice who is helpful for you. A picture says more than 1000 words! About the buttons ... one is slide-able and the other is a press button. The first is power on/of the second is a reset button. But depending on your boards the reset button will not work with older/factory firmware.

@Ken-Conrad Right, I mean shorter.

I have the two little holes in the golden metal strips too, but no solder as you do. Btw, your photos are really sharp for the size! Nicely done! There's a component soldered sideways near the SD card connector edge, the edge opposite to the card entrance. Not sure if it's connected or not because it's darker there.

@Lyra-Heartstrings The serial-port on the Omega2 is a bit fiddly and it may not quite work right with all USB serial-adapters. Out of my adapters, for example, only the PL2303-based one works, the others produce similar output as your log.

@WereCatf I assume you mean Power Dock or? Nevertheless, I'm not sure what happened but suddenly today Setup Wizard started to work. Now I'm working on WiFi configuration.

I was not. I have been trying for over a week. I can't get any support from the helpdesk and the tips from the forum have not helped me either. I might have a short circuit on the underside of the board, but hard to know. I have a multimeter but the two points that are soldered together are both ground but there still might be damaged because someone has scratched away the solder at the factory leaving horrible markings.

I just got a new 2+ and same relocate error. Has this been solved? Is there a fix? WTF? this is a year later, you would think they test these things before shipping. I also got a onion 2 at the same time. It was tested because the pins were bent from de-insertion. The pins were straight on the 2+. Not saying they didn't, but sure looks like its not tested. I Always order at least 2 of everything when I'm developing. Can't say how much time it has saved me but its huge.
