Pedro - thanks for the code. I tried it on a DX.com board GY-65. That is equal to a BMP085 and works just fine.

All works great now! Thanks for the hard work on this.

Updated both the Onion and Neo libraries. Working much better now.

How do you turn a pixel off? I tried neopixel-tool set 0 0x000000, but it tuned blue.

Also not working:

root@Omega-198E:~# neopixel-tool -sb 63
neopixel-tool: can't resolve symbol '_ZN13onionNeopixel13SetBrightnessEi'
root@Omega-198E:~# neopixel-tool -b 127
neopixel-tool: can't resolve symbol '_ZN13onionNeopixel13SetBrightnessEi'

To get this to work properly, do you need to reflash the bootloader? My board is flashed with b220. I followed the directions as posted. I can turn on the correct pixel, but it's always the magenta color, no matter what value I try.

Other issues.... I had to install the Adafruit_NeoPixel library. I was getting compile errors that pointed to it.

Lastly, I'm getting errors on the neopixel-tool -b, neopixel-tool -sb and neopixel-tool -s commands.

Thanks,
Russ

Hey Kit,

I've been disappointed with the board also. I was hoping the functionality would be like a YUN. I use a YUN shield with an UNO. What is needed is some good libraries like the YUN (or clone). After I flashed the Arduino board, I just haven't had time to work with it.

I like using Notepad++ also. To transfer the Python file, I use WinSCP and then use a putty session to test.

I hope the Console will be as good as Adafruit's Raspberry Pi WebIDE.

My dock is now working. I upgraded to 1.6.6 and loaded the library manually. I was able to compile and run the Blink2 example.

That's the one I'm using.

I still can't get the password to work. I reflashed the board using ICSP connector. Looks like it flashed ok.

I was going to do the resync, but I'm not seeing blink2.ino.hex in the temp folder, only blink2.cpp.hex as listed in the Verbose list.

I'm getting a failure when I try to enter the password to upload the sketch. Error message is ash: merge-sketch-with-bootloader.lua: not found. I flashed the board and I thought is said it was ok. Ideas?

Thanks,
Russ
