On the page https://docs.onion.io/omega2-maker-kit/maker-kit-relay-controlling-circuits.html#maker-kit-relay-controlling-circuits it shows the first diagram for LED (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OnionIoT/Onion-Docs/master/Omega2/Kit-Guides/Maker/diagrams/01-circuit-diagram.png) instead of the correct diagram (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OnionIoT/Onion-Docs/master/Omega2/Kit-Guides/Maker/diagrams/07-circuit-diagram.png).

@Ulf-Zimmermann said in Latest firmware as posted September 4 2018:

@Lazar-Demin It was on the most recent firmware as per the firmware update via GUI. I then ran from the CLI the firmware upgrade to get to this version supporting native PWM.

When I run wifisetup from the CLI, it saves the config to /etc/config/wireless, restarts the wifi manager but it doesn't update /etc/config/network

But it seems it does actual work, after a manual reboot it did connect to the configured wifi.

So I got the email from Onion about the latest firmware with PWM support on GPIO 18/19. I went to upgrade and now it is all broken.

Ran the upgrade from command as described at https://onion.io/2bt-hardware-pwm-omega2/ After the reboot it went back to it's own AP network and did not reconnected to the previous configured WiFi. The root password was still the old one.

So I tried to run the setup wizard again to switch it back to the configured WiFi .. nope. Tried factory reset and go through the setup and it just hangs on configuring the WiFi or even if I get past that one, it never seems to switch back to the configured WiFi.

The whole setup procedure really needs more feedback or progression display.

On the plastic container of the kit I received it says "Browse to https://onion.io/kits to start learning and building!". But when I go to that URL, I only get a 404 error.

So as I was looking for the pin layout for the included servo, I found that it seems this is a fake version of it.

For example see this web post:

Or this video on YouTube:

The one I received looks like the one on the right in this video. Mounting holes further out and open, plus the top matches.

My overnight compiled failed in lircd as fortifying the code won't allow:

                    if (opt2host_port(opt, &address, &port, errmsg) != 0){
                            fprintf(stderr, errmsg);

Did you compile without fortify? Or did you modify the code?

Well, I just got back from an evening of german beer and kicked off a make on the openwrt build, see how far it gets.

When you say haven't compiled successfully, you are talking about the rest of the userland utilities?

I want to build something which requires the sending of IR signals, so lirc would be what I want to use. Before I put major work in trying to cross compile etc., has anyone done it?
