Awesome thanks! Would this work?

Anybody having issues with range of the Omega Wifi antenna? I am trying to do something that is only about ~30 feet from my Router (very powerful one) but it is outside through a window. Any ideas about boosting antenna power or anything? I was really surprised i couldn't get a signal out there. Other devices at the same range have full signal.

I was trying to use PyCharm on local laptop and setup remote interpreter on Omega. I was able to do this with a Pi.

Definitely not my area of expertise, just wondering if anyone has tried?

I get an error that says:

Here are settings:

Wanted to make a new thread on this. Hey can you guys make the 3D models available for the Onion and expansions? I saw the mechanical drawings on github, but it looks like the drawings were made from 3D models originally? What software did you use?

If you get me the models i'll publish them in a really cool way that would benefit the community.

I want to do some cases that we can 3D print.

This is what happens when a mechanical engineer gets his hands on electronics, we want to make a case haha

@Peter-Buelow I found some on Amazon, although they are a little short.

@Kit-Bishop @Don-DeGregori Thanks! Much appreciated. DOn't know why i didn't just look at the traces on the board from the beginning LOL

For reference it appears that:

• I2C SDA
• I2C SCL
• GND
• 3.3V (both of them)
• GPIO 11

Are in use.

Is there documentation of which pins the OLED is using so you know which pins are available if you insert something in between?

This is probably really obvious, but i couldn't quite figure it out.

THats pretty sweet! Were you able to run the cura slicer also? Would be pretty cool to create a complete print server with the nice little OLED display and ditch my mess of wires on the PI!

I am not getting new line character working python module?

The following still displays text on single line of OLED display expansion (with \n characters removed)

Was looking at source and only thing i can figure is that you are not getting right value for the total number of characters in the row when you go to print spaces?

Actually while writing this i found the problem in oled-exp.h
OLED_EXP_CHAR_COLUMNS
OLED_EXP_CHAR_COLUMN

I'll submit issue on github

from OmegaExpansion import oledExp
                              
msg = "test\nFrom\n\n\nPython"
                              
status  = oledExp.driverInit()                        
                  
oledExp.clear()   
                  
oledExp.write(msg)

I was trying to use the device explorer to generate the commands but was getting stuck? I can get status of device with 'i2c_exp' end point successfully

When i try to use 'oled-exp' i am using the following for the parameters:

command: write
options: -c
parameters: ["test"]

seems parameters wants a table, this was the only way i could get it to work. I think you maybe have a mistake in there?

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

From docs:
oled-exp [OPTIONS] <COMMAND> <PARAMETER>

I believe maybe you transposed the types on options and parameters? options should be table and parameters a string?

THis was reported 19 days ago and still no fix or response of proposed fix? Right during shipping of all these new devices? Kind of weak. I ahd so much higher hopes. Same issue here can connect, but device doesn't show online in cloud, but shows online from console. 0.1.7 firmware. Echo previous statement, frequent updates would be appreciated.
