IoTT Stick Plus2 (Video

Hi Hans - I don't know any other way of getting in touch with you. Question - If I order on Tindie, how do you ship to Canada? Will I get dinged with brokerage or other fees? - John Geddes, Vancouver, BC

Hi John, I ship USPS. The postage you pay is shown when you place the order. I don't know if Canada charges VAT for shipments from the US, but that would be on top. Hans

I am happy to see the Shawinigan club using the purple hat I sold them. I need to restart my layout. I am spending too much time with 3D printing projects

[@IoTT]

Hopefully you spend your time printing rolling stock ;-)

Hi Hans. I have a RedHat and 2 GreenHats using the original M5Stick that are currently on v1.5.20. I tried to upgrade the RedHat to v1.6.7 when I install my saved configuration files the M5stick screen and led kept flashing in a boot loop I think. I had the same result with v1.6.3 which is the oldest version on GitHub. Is there a way to upgrade to v1.6.7 without manually typing in my configuration data (as I have a lot of servos).

The built in upgrade conversion normally only work one version step at a time, so upgrading so many steps is difficult, particularly if you try to load the entire stick configuration. You have a much better chance if you try to save and load only one category at a time, e.g. the RedHat configuration, and store it in a separate file. To do that, click the save button on the RedHat page and store it in e.g. rhcfg.json. Then try to load just this file into the stick with the new software version. Chances are it works. And if not, it is much easier to compare the old file with the new and make the changes in a text editor. Hope that helps.

Oh well, the power management was a nice feature but its deletion doesn't mean too much.

[@IoTT]

It really was. But we have to go with the facts....

[@hans8975]

The sound is very bad. You sound very far away.

[@IoTT]

Sorry for that, I am still in moving mode and everything is very temporary. Will get better sometimes in May.

Hello Hans, I am trying to set up a new Stick C Plus2 with version 1.6.7 downloaded and when it boots I am unable to connect to it to set the WiFi connection. The stick screen shows the AP as IoTT_Stick_M5_3029699340 but the SSID that is broadcast is New_IoTT-Stick_3029699340 When I try to connect to that from either my iPhone or my Windows 10 computer I get a message that the connection failed. Any thoughts or suggestions? Roland Minshall

[@IoTT]

If it shows New_IoTT that is when it is ready to do the setup. If it shows IoTT_Stick.... it means the setup timed out and it initialized its own access point. You need to restart to get back into the connection mode. It seems that the Stick Plus2 is somewhat more difficult to connect to than the older versions. I have been working on some changes which will come with the next release. What I found that helps is if you walk away from the Stick maybe 10 feet or so when you try to open the captive portal for the setup.

@@IoTT Hans, I tried moving away from the Stick and didn't have any luck. I also noticed that the Broadcast SSID (New_IoTT-Stick_3029699340) was no longer visible in the available networks list on my phone. I will look forward to your changes in the new version.

Another great video and was hoping for the addition of the Plus 2! I did post a message on the Discord with documents of my DCC IoTT stack & PC configurations. Can you take a look and let me know if there is anything I need to change? I know I need to flash my IoTT with the latest version but anything else you can add would be appreciated. Thank you. @builderdave
