Has the native NeoPixel library been released? Would love to use it if it's out.

Thanks

Hm - just started working. Thanks anyway!

@György-Farkas Nothing as far as I can tell. I'm using CoolTerm and send a carriage return via Send String, but nothing happens.

Connected an FTDI cable and can see the boot sequence, but it hangs every time on random: nonblocking pool is initialized. Any ideas for what's wrong and how I can fix it?

Thanks a million.

@Richard-Berg it worked before (got into setup wizard, so it's not in backwards), but then I changed some stuff in the wifi settings and broke the wifi (I think), which is why I'm trying to factory reset.

@Chris-Stratton said in Omega 2+: serial won't show up?:

Even on a Linux box, you can usually see that the device exists without permission to use it.

The CP2012 works fine in recent OSX releases, and does not require any special permissions. However the proper driver from SiLabs must be installed - it is not included with OSX in the way that an open source driver supporting that converter typically ships with most Linux distros today.

Any ideas as to why I can't see the Omega when I scan /dev/tty? I've tried installing the driver many times and it hasn't given me any error messages.

@zach-Van @Francesco-Pessolano tried going to 192.168.3.1 with two different USB cables...no luck (same problem as before). Any other ideas?

Okay I'm really stuck. I can power on the Omega and see the wifi network and connect to it, but when I connect to it, I can't access the setup wizard or SSH in, and the Silicon Labs CP2102 driver isn't working for some reason (macOS Sierra issue?). Additionally, I don't think the reset button on the expansion dock is working -- nothing happens with the LEDs, even when I hold it down for 30 seconds.

Any ideas? Seems like I'm locked out.

@cusackph yep, installed the drivers but still not seeing anything other than the Bluetooth ports.

Expansion dock, so I think it has the USB-serial circuit.

Trying to connect to my Omega 2+ over serial and it's not showing up in my Terminal output:

Jacobs-MacBook-Pro:~ jacobbendicksen$ ls /dev/{tty,cu}.*
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port		/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port

MacOS 10.12 if that matters.

Ideas?

When I run wifisetup from the command line, I get a giant list of the same networks repeated several times:

root@Omega-6EC7:~# wifisetup
Onion Omega Wifi Setup

Select from the following:
1) Scan for Wifi networks
2) Type network info
q) Exit

Selection: 1
Scanning for wifi networks...

Select Wifi network:
1) YaleGuest
2) yale wireless
3) eduroam
4) YaleGuest
5) YaleSecure
6) yale wireless
7) eduroam
8) YaleGuest
9) YaleSecure
10) yale wireless
11) eduroam
12) YaleGuest
13) yale wireless
14) YaleGuest
15) YaleSecure
16) yale wireless
17) eduroam

I'd like to connect to yale wireless since that's the one that devices need to connect to once you register their MAC addresses, but I've tried all of these and it fails. Additionally, the list is a bit different every time, and the same thing pops up with the Setup Wizard.

Thoughts?? I'm pretty stuck.
