I have not used SPI, but according to this post, it is not reliable.

Current Defects

@Bogdan-Cimpeanu that link is for old docs, the docs for Onion2 is https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/installing-and-using-git.html which has the steps described.

I know it is confusing that they having 2 sets of documents.

change the repo to the LEDE, see the last section of this;

OPKG

I have MC installed and working

I don't have my Omega to hand, but I found this that might help

But thinking about the limited storage you might want to remove python 2.x if you are not going to use it and that will stop pip installing to python 2.x

HI,

The Battery dock does not have a serial to USB chip so you are unable to connect it to a PC for communications.

HI,

I have the cloud in and working.

I have managed to set the onion LED to a heart beat and the RGB led to different colours. This I found using the tutorial Part1 Ubus Intro and looking at the github. But I can't get the OLED to display any text.

What I have used is

"command":"write","option":"hello","params":""

the output is

{
"status": "failure",
"error": "invalid command"
}

What I am doing wrong?

Looking at the data sheet GPIO12 is also used as a reset, so that might explain why it does not react as you expect.

This is a good website for learning GIT

This is the link to the switches. link text

As I said, I did not find these so can't take the credit.

Hi all.

When I first saw the post about the on/off switches breaking I thought I would order some spares as someone found a replacement switch. My pack of 10 has turned up today after about 1 month from Amazon. As I only need 2 spares, I have the remaining spare and will offer them to others. Just send me a message, I will provide you with my postal address and then you can send me a letter with a return letter I will post back to you.

I am only offering this to UK addresses as I don't know how you would buy a UK stamps from outside the UK.

I have not tried this, and don't know if it in the repo but try to install Lynx or elink, this is text based browser.

If the Onion console was able to open a iframe to something like www.google.com this would then be redirected to the captive portal, I think.

The GIT hub link to Python code mentions SSD1306. This is a I2C display. I have used this with a Ardiuno in the past. The pin out is, power, gnd, I2C and I2C clock. Take a look at this picture I found with Google.
If you have a voltmeter you should be able to buzz out the pins.
