Been through the Getting Started Guide (Rev 1.01); only one big error: the On/Off switch is documented the wrong way around!
An observation: p9 says,
When the mangOH Yellow is powered, the Power LED turns solid green, and then all three LEDs will begin blinking in sequence when the module has finished booting up.
What I actually see is that the Power/Network/Cloud LED stays permanently green while the other two LEDs cycle through:
Both Off
RGB = Greem
RGB = Blue
Both off
Generic LED = Yellow (not green)
Ping works, and I see console output, although thereās no response in the DM port - should there be?
But where should I go next?
The obvious next steps would seem to be to log-in at the console, and/or issue some AT commands.
But there is nothing on the āGet Startedā page to say where next ā¦
Page 6 - Registration
The āDevice Registrationā doesnāt actually seem to do anything - just takes you to the page with the info about the device you select.
If thatās the intended operation, it could be better explained.
Page 7 - Kit contents
Mine was missing the M2 screws!
Page 8 - Overview
This is good - like it
(the power selection jumper is not identified)
Page 9 - Windows Drivers
I didnāt do this - Windows found all the drivers itself
Pages 9-12
Similar to whatās in the User Guide, but missing a few steps; eg,
power supply selection
connecting the antenna
the on/off switch
Pages 13-14 Local connection
All fine
Page 15 - Octave free trial
doesnāt reflect the current experience
Pages 15-18 - Send to Octave
I couldnāt get this to work:
Pages 18-20 Control from Octave
worked fine.
It references the Octave developer site, but that is purely Red-focussed, and doesnāt quite reflect the actual online experience.
Mine was also missing the screws. I just assumed since mine was a demo unit or pre production (I have some wires to correct for missing or incorrect traces) that that would be the reason for the missing screws.
On page 8, there is mention of a buzzer, the picture shows a board that has the buzzer unpopulated while the actual board (at least mine) has the buzzer populated.
On page 7, it mentions that the WP module is soldered down, mine is the same as on my red and green. Both of those had a ācageā to hold the module and the module could be removed with a special tool.
The other issue Iām having is trying to update the firmware. If I do over the air there are a LOT of options with no useful naming convention. Some are octave_redā¦ others red_wp and still others mangoh_wp. DO they ALL work on the yellow, what about the green? Is there away to update the firmware not using Octave?
