Well, I have seen the Omega 2 and the Omega 2 plus I will be purchasing both. I'm soo happy you added the wifi antenna breakout!
I just wanted to say that I am one happy customer.. Unless for some weird reason I get v2 and v2+ with testing firmware... xD
That and that hologram module sounds like one that needs to be purchased! LOVED the video of the ControlEverything module at 0:42

@Chris-McCaslin for making the nice wiki post
Required Materials:
*Note: There is no exact requirement for the capacitors and resistors values, however capacitor shouldn't be too big. (for example: 0.1µF and 100Ω should work)
Here are the necessary steps after wiring the network connection:
boot the good omega -- let's call it omega-good
connect the bricked omega (omega-bricked) with an USB cable with a linux pc (expansion switch still off)
connect to omega-bricked with screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
power on the switch of the expansion board of omega-bricked and immediately hit enter in the screen session to get into uboot on omega-bricked
printenv in uboot on omega-bricked shows that the ethernet ip is configured to be 192.168.1.1
configure the ethernet connection of omega-good to use the static ip 192.168.1.100, either by modifying /etc/config/network and restarting the network or by something like ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 up
While in uboot in omega-bricked verify with ping 192.168.1.100 that the network connection to omega-good works
While in uboot in omega-bricked start httpd
create an ssh tunnel from the linux pc to omega-bricked via omega-good with ssh -L 8080:192.168.1.1:80 omega-good (ssh connection to omega-good is via wifi)
open http://localhost:8080/ in a browser on the linux pc. The ssh tunnel redirects this to the httpd of omega-bricked → you see the uboot httpd upgrade page in your browser and can proceed to upload a bin image.

I like the idea, but it might be easier in something like Python or even Shell? Just a thought
Yeah I could aslo write this in php with the wrapper I wrote. Im new to C++ though so I wanted to give it a shot to try to learn.
Thanks a ton reflashed and back to how I like my omega Oniony .. hahah
Version 1:
I got bored and I wrote the php version of the fast-gpio
function SetIO($pin, $value)
{
exec("fast-gpio set $pin $value 2>&1", $output);
return explode(': ',$output[0])[1];
}
function ReadIO($pin)
{
exec("fast-gpio read $pin 2>&1", $output);
return explode(': ',$output[0])[1];
}
function SetPWM($pin, $hZ, $dutyCyclePercent)
{
exec("fast-gpio pwm $pin $hZ $dutyCyclePercent 2>&1", $output);
return explode(': ',$output[0])[1];
}
Version 2
The Onion Omega runs a webserver called uhttpd, this is capable of running PHP, happy days 
Hidden away in the forums fello onioneers have already worked on setting up basic examples of getting PHP to run & also included basic proof-of-concept scripts. This tutorial walks you through the steps of getting these to work.
All you need is a little imagination on how you can use & abuse this with you Onion Omega.
You Will need to expand your Onion Omega's System File size using a usb stick and pivot-overlay.
Let's get started
First we need to install the required packages, to do this you can use the terminal, or ideally via SSH:
opkg update
opkg install php5 php5-cgi
This installs the required PHP files, which is a text editor and alot easier to use than vim.
Optionally you can also install the CLI version of PHP using the command below. This allows you to run PHP scripts from the commandline using "php-cli scriptname.php"
opkg install php5-cli
Next we need to edit the uhttpd file, you can do this by using this command:
vi /etc/config/uhttpd
Where you see the 'main' section of text like this:
config uhttpd 'main'
list listen_http '0.0.0.0:80'
list listen_http '[::]:80'
list listen_https '0.0.0.0:443'
list listen_https '[::]:443'
option redirect_https '1'
option home '/www'
option rfc1918_filter '1'
option max_requests '3'
option max_connections '100'
option cert '/etc/uhttpd.crt'
option key '/etc/uhttpd.key'
option cgi_prefix '/cgi-bin'
option script_timeout '60'
option network_timeout '30'
option http_keepalive '20'
option tcp_keepalive '1'
option ubus_prefix '/ubus'
Add this to the last line of that block of text (there is another block of text after this, I've left that out for simplicity)
list interpreter ".php=/usr/bin/php-cgi"
option index_page 'index.php'
Press 'ESQ' on keyboard, and then ':wq' & 'Enter' to save changes.
Now we need to restart the web server, we do this by running this command:
/etc/init.d/uhttpd restart
And that's it, the uhttpd server is now capable of parsing PHP files.
Create a test file & directory by executing the following command:
mkdir /www/php
cd /www/php
vi index.php
And paste this code into the file & save:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Press 'ESQ' on keyboard, and then ':wq' & 'Enter' to save changes.
Now open your web browser and go to http://omega-ABCD.local/php/
Note: If you receive a directory or file permissions issue, run the following command and try again.
chmod -R 755 /www/php
First download the library with wget from the gist https://gist.github.com/Immortal-/a18f58ac5c21ba27921b7626b5a8b06e
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Immortal-/a18f58ac5c21ba27921b7626b5a8b06e/raw/df8e70665523c2a06b503954d10943560d5c189f/OmegaPHP.php
Then you may write your own code See my example if you get stumped
https://gist.github.com/Immortal-/c032136484afa32da0e1de5fde76e2f0
You can edit the php.ini file by running this command:
vi /etc/php.ini
Expand your file storage using a usb drive using piviot-overlay
I currently use my onion Omega 2+ for a nas. With it wired directly into my Netgear s8000 switch. Into a cat8 cable at 1000Mbp/s .. but with the current Ethernet modual I'm maxxed at 100Mbp/s...
Any plans on releasing a gig card?
Trying to stay consistent with onion. And not switch to something like a pi 4 as it has onboard gig.
#loyalOnionFan #gimemoahpowah
I use my Current Onion Omega as a nas with a usb dock, Right now I have 2 1tb drives and a 256 gb drive that holds the os. I use it just like a normal nas. it's awesome 1tb is for backup and is encrypted and another is just for my plex server.
Well, I have seen the Omega 2 and the Omega 2 plus I will be purchasing both. I'm soo happy you added the wifi antenna breakout!

@Guest yeah, I know I have been waiting to continue one of my projects on this answer alone...
PWM is very interesting to me because how it reminds me of AC.
<?php
require 'PWM.php';
$pwm = new PWM();
$pwm->SetChan('all'); //set the channels
/* The CHANNEL can be: 0 - 15 to control an individual channel
The CHANNEL can be: all to control all channels at once
Optional parameters: frequency If not specified, default of 50 Hz is used
Frequency range is 24 Hz to 1526 Hz
Adds a delay in the PWM signal, can be an integer or floating point number between 0 and 100, 0% delay by default
*/
$data = $pwm->SetDuty(1.25); // sets duty_cycle 1.25 on all channel's
echo explode(':',$data[1])[1]; // Parse just the responce
?>

I'm looking to use a omega as a AIO home router / WIFI I have Comcast so I can do that very Easly ( but would like to hack in my two antennas that come out of my existing router into the omega for added strength / range) but that still leaves me using a stupid modem that plugins via coax to add that to comcast I had to call give the serial number and they did the rest. It has to have DOCSIS 2.0 + but since 3.1 is out that would be cool.
Would love to buy the two modules
dsl cable module (coax + doxsis 3.0+)
Wifi antennas module (lets you add 1- 4 antennas )
that would be cool please do.@administrators @Global-Moderators
Will this work for omega can any one confirm?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/321773988769?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
I would really love to get ir cams going.
I am trying to work on my home security system with a few omegas But I am having a hard time looking for ir usb cams that are compatible with the webcam app. Before buying anymore I thought I should ask the community. Im am currently looking at
but I'm unsure If I can get it to work. Any thoughts / recommendations?
