    Guess what just arrived??!!?!!

    I'm going to start testing these tonight. Will power up each one and make sure I can talk to it from a terminal.

    After that, I'll approve payment to the vendor via escrow and get them out to you guys!! Give me two days including today and I'll start shipping.

    They are tiny and look amazing!

    So, after reading the manual, it looks like it does Ethernet too. Can it act as a serial/Ethernet interface, or only as a WiFi/Ethernet bridge?

    It has Ethernet connection points and appears to be able to act as serial/Ethernet as well.

    I'm still in the "test and ship" phase of this order, although I did spend a little time playing with it in AP mode tonight.

    All orders for BulkBuy#1 were powered up and connected to in AP mode. They were just put into the hands of the postman moments ago.

    I call this a success! Exactly 2 weeks from inception to shipment.

    Now.. There are eight of us with these. It's time to get some objects going and some wifi action happening.

    Hopefully several of you will have these as soon as Friday.

    I'll do another BulkBuy for these within a day or two for anyone who missed this, this time around.

    Any updates on the workability of these and will you be selling again?

    Edit: I see they are available in your store. I have a couple questions first. Can this be used as a web server that can host a web page that in turn can control the Prop? What I want to do is create a menu on a web page that contains buttons and when each button is pressed it in turn triggers a function on my prop.

    There is a couple of them in stock right now.

    http://propellerpowered.us/index.php?route=product/product&path=25_62&product_id=179

    The device simply serves the webpage data (or any data) from the Propeller. I've already written a simple webserver example. (I'll need to fish up the link in the forums here).
    The only catch is that you can't use port 80 as it will serve the admin/login page for reconfiguring the unit. I used 8080 instead.

    So I can use Port range forwarding on my router to get to the IP address, correct?

    Yes, that is what I did.

    The only limitation I hit was browser timeout. (It was more a coding issue on my end) I cheated by setting the timeout on the device so the end browser would stop looking for more data to load. Worked.

  • Jeff, How can I reset to factory defaults? I attempted to change the IP address in the browser and it messed everything up. The SSID shows up and I can connect but the IP I changed to does not work nor does the default IP. Is there a way to short any of the pins to reset the unit?
  • Andy,
    There is a pin that does the factory reset. Send me a PM with your email and I will send the manual or a link.
