  1. Thanks. I haven't gotten anything out of the serial, as I said. I do notice the pushbutton switch on the top of the board. What's that for? The reset is on the bottom. I pushed it, the blue light by it was blinking, it stopped when I held the top button down. Hmm. Power cycle, it blinks again. It's the only one blinking. Pushed top button for 13 sec, it stopped blinking. No difference on the console output, still gibberish. I looped it back, and it echos, so that's definitely working. Hmm.
  2. OK, well, I have yet to receive any usable console output from the Mark IV, just like control chars and gibberish. But clearly, that is output. Again, I have set to 115,200, 8-n-none. I have been told that is correct, but at the moment I am at the point of re verifying that by trying different port speeds. Unless someone can verify that port speed. Sebkinne says it's dead, but clearly there are degrees to that because it clearly comes on wifi as pineapple. So dead, that's relative. There should be a failsafe reflash method for these, that is used at the factory. Does anyone know about that?
  3. What is the reset procedure? I held the button down, but is it a push of the button, or a 10 second hold, or a 30 second hold, or what?
  4. Clearly, it comes up on wifi as Pineapple. It's not dead.
  5. I tried on another PC to get the thing to talk on ethernet. No luck. No valid data on the serial at 115,200. I looked with wireshark, and I don't see anything from the Mark IV. Any suggestions? I held down the reset button. Can anyone tell me the reset procedure with the button on the bottom?
  6. I'm still trying. I can't get the serial interface to work. Oh well.
  7. We are absolutely positive the port speed is 115,200, right?
  8. Well, yeah, I tried them both ways, one way there was no output, switched I get garbled text. I have a mobo serial port that now tests at 115200. Looped back. Same garbled stuff. Tried with Hyperterm and with RealTerm. No real difference. The port echoes correctly. 115-8-N-1 No flow control. I just dunno. I just soldered an actual plug, no difference. I had just stuffed a wire into the DB9 before. Now, I have a real cable.
  9. Well, I took it apart, got a USB to serial adapter set up, 115200-N-8-1 I got output, but it's not in English. Or even Chinese. Heh. Control chars. Stuff like that. Hmm. Just to verify I did an echo test on the serial, it does echo. Well, it turns out the FTDI usb/serial adapter I used does not echo at 115200, so I will have to get a better port. Working on it.
  10. Mr Protocol says this is correct for a Mark IV http://172.16.42.1/pineapple Not this which kerravon says is correct for a Mark IV http://172.16.42.1:1471 Which is it? The one with port 1471 is correct for the MarkV, which I have as well. So the Mark IV does not have a DHCP server. OK, I noticed that. I tried both logins. I assigned a static number to the windows PC. I got no response. I am back to trying a serial console. No problems, I can do that, I just haven't.
  11. Just for fun, I tried a crossover cable. No difference. I noticed the LAN light on the Mk4 did not come on even though the network connection in windows said it was connected. No matter which cable I used. So I am back to getting a serial connection. Something for over the weekend.
  12. I'm gonna have to rig up a serial console connection, which I can do. I got nothing on the ethernet, even though I got a connected message.
