The new Console release is here!

Elisabeth Anderson

Great work, thank you!!

Frank Neuhaus

Great work! I'm happy to see that this product isn't forgotten after being shipped, but actively worked on.
Yes, it was a very good idea to back this up. Thumbs up for everybody working on this!

So far there has only been one correct guess for the inspiration behind the Ando codename!

Keep those guesses coming for another week and then we'll give out the prizes

Mark Larson

When I first got my Omega, I ran the Setup Wizard (Chrome, Mac). I updated the firmware to get the Console, but found that I still got the Setup Wizard at http://Omega-ABCD.local. It took me a bit to realize I was looking at a cached version in my browser. I performed a force refresh (hold down Control and click refresh) and the Console came up. This might be worth mentioning in the firmware update docs.

Onion Rings

@Mark-Larson Totally agree. This is an easily avoided pothole that should be in the docs. You can switch browsers, that's what I did.

Lazar Demin

@Mark-Larson ok, we'll make sure to add that to the docs!

Also, we've just gotten our second correct codename guess! Only one more prize left!

Lazar Demin

We've fixed the issues with the GPIO app, upgrade to the latest firmware to grab the fixes!

Theodore Borromeo

@Lazar-Demin Ok, so now the initial setting works. But try to transition the pin back to 'input' after setting it to 'output' + 'a value'. Will the old hack still work in that case? I tried this on GPIO1.

Theodore Borromeo

@Lazar-Demin yeah, old hack doesn't seem to work

Lazar Demin

@Theodore-Borromeo it should work with no hacks required now! going from 'output' -> 'input' should just require changing the Direction in the drop-down menu and a press of the Sync button.
Let me know how it goes.

Theodore Borromeo

@Lazar-Demin I haven't tested it, but quick question:
Does setting a pin as input and as a 1 cause a pull-up circuit? If not, then perhaps the software should just disallow level setting when the pin is an input

Lazar Demin

@Theodore-Borromeo the Value drop-down menu isn't clickable when the Direction is set to Input. Clicking Sync will take a reading of the pin's current value and then display it.
