Join the Omega group and share the design if you want.

@Michael-Klug I was just about to link you to my thread https://community.onion.io/topic/1223/no-oled-library-for-python3
But I see that you already found it.

@Vinh-Tran The SD card works in the latest build As of 142 or something. They just don't have documentation on it. You can find your SD card in /tmp/mounts I believe.

Also, try to install these packages to fix your issues.

opkg install onion-console-editor
opkg install onion-console-terminal

@Samuel-Martin I'm not sure what to tell you but you should be able to hold the reset button for 10 seconds to perform a factory reset. I'm not the right person to ask though.

Have you tried other browsers to make sure something didn't install properly?

@Douglas-Kryder I'm also curious about this. The walls are 2 mm thick and the board itself should be 1mm from the inside wall. The switch does have a small overhang on the board so I think it should be fine but I guess I will find out.

Thanks! It's actually the first thing I have designed. Well it could technically be the third. I designed it, then a small case for a flash drive, and then redesigned the omega case because of a very obvious flaw.

I think it turned out really well though. I was planning on printing it tomorrow but it looks like some things were delayed in shipping and shouldn't arrive until Thursday now.

I created a Thingiverse group for anyone that wants to upload a cool case design or anything really.

I wasn't sure if I should go with Onion as the name or Omega. I decided Omega because it's more specific.

Here's the link to the group:

Feel free to join it.

I also uploaded a case design for the Omega2 Power dock and OLED. I haven't printed it to test it out yet so I wouldn't recommend printing it until I take the fall first.

Anyways, it would be cool if it became a fun little community for Omega printing projects.

Basically I need Python 2.7 and Python 3 for various scripts that I have. I can't have them both installed on my omega with all of the libraries needed. How can I install packages to my SD card?
I created a partition on my SD card in ext4 to access it but haven't been able to install anything to it.

Edit: So I did an extroot with pivot-overlay and now there is an overlay directory with, what it seems, a copy of root and some other directories. When I install new packages they do appear in /overlay/upper/usr/lib/ but they also appear in /usr/lib which just takes up space on the omega, leading to not being able to install more packages once it is full.

I just installed it without any issues. Back when I got my omega, something wasn't configured right. Whenever I used opkg update it kept saying that there were invalid signatures and certain things wouldn't install. So I factory reset my Omega and started over. Everything worked fine after that. You might want to update your firmware first, I am currently on omega2p-v0.1.8-b145.bin

To update the firmware follow these instructions:
cd /tmp
wget http://repo.onion.io/omega2/images/omega2p-v0.1.8-b145.bin --------For omega2plus
wget http://repo.onion.io/omega2/images/omega2-v0.1.8-b145.bin --------For omega2
sysupgrade omega2p-v0.1.8-b145.bin --------For omega2plus
sysupgrade omega2-v0.1.8-b145.bin --------For omega2

Have you installed other packages without trouble?

As far as I can tell, this doesn't work with an sd card. Hopefully the documentation for it comes soon.

Edit: Actually I think it did work. I'm not entirely sure though. I did the exroot with pivot-root with my SD card. Before I started I created a partition that was formatted in ext4. I can still use my omega fine and install things. I'm curious if the storage is supposed to update on the local UI. Right now it still says 31MB and everything I have installed so far is increasing in that section. Not sure if it will become full once I reach 31MB or if it will just continue.

Edit 2: It didn't work. Guess I will wait until they create an SD card documentation.

I'm sure it will work just fine. I have tested other libraries with it just fine.

opkg list | grep python ---to list python packages

opkg install python3 ---to install python3(not that there are also light versions of python 3 and 2.7)
opkg install python ---to install python 2.7

Be sure to install the pip package for python 2.7 or for python 3.5.

opkg list | grep pip

Then install whichever version you are using. After that is done just use the command (for python3) pip3 install bottle

I have found that you can utilize the Oled with python 2.7 but not with 3. Has anyone figured out how to get it to work? I also found this page in search of a library for 3. As well as their current documentation on it.

@Chris-Allen You might want to install the packages in case they didn't install properly.
Type opkg list | grep oled
and then install any packages that it might need such as the driver. You might also want to initialize it with oled-exp -i then try writing to it.
