I bought a wifi pineapple directly from the hak5 store. Done some fiddling and now want to reset it. Is there an easy way to reset back to the shipping default without having to flash the device again? There's a reset button (assuming) on the bottom of the device but i have tried booting with it pressed and holding it down while running and it does not seem to do anything. Alternatively is there a way I can flash up to the latest version easily and will that wipe all the custom settings. I don't know if there is a newer version or not but if the device is already running jasager where does one start to reflash the device in the build instructions? Apologies if this has already been asked at some point but I've been searching in the forum and just cant seem to find it.

I have been digging into the option of the fon2 Its got some much nicer options. 1 thing i can't find. is it still 5v powered?

I Love hardware hacks. Before i even powered this thing up I cracked it open and wired in a usb cable. Yes i know basic but it lets me power the thing(i had no AA batteries or US to AU converters.

Oh and yeah i cant buy a fon2 directly from the fon store they don't ship to Australia. Already asked them and i was told no.

Yeah i just saw they were available. Now i really should buy another one. Depressing given this one just arrived today. Trying to work out if i could wire http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_i...roducts_id=8936 Directly into the serial port

Has anyone attempted to attach a GPS unit to the Fon. There's gpsd and other required packages I just need to work out attaching the GPS. Going by the schematics there is no USB host support (though i may have missed it) I know a serial port can be wired in but I can't seem to find a serial based GPS unit. If anyone knows where i might find a serial GPS please let me know. I should have gotten 2 of these little things.

I just got my pineapple today. Problem was power. No AA batteries and the adapter was American and well I am in aussieland. I decided USB power. Cracked open the case (remembering the 2 screws under the feet on the LED side) Cut the end of a mini usb cable. Cut open 2 of the air fins on the side so i could fit the cable though. ran the cable though the hole and used some super glue to fix it tight. soldered the power pins red and black in my case to the underside of the normal power connector. the red pin was the centre pin in the cable for positive and the black went to the outside edge. looking at it from underneath negative is closer to the edge of the PCB the positive is the one behind it. I would have taken a photo but i kinda half glued the case closed. But yes now i have USB power another advantage is i have a little power pack its 5000mAh with 2 USB ports. Runs off that battery fine. I just wonder for how long. Hope this is useful. ShivalWolf
