Sebkinne, read your pm.
-
I sent you a PM.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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?
-
What would you do to it?
-
Clearly, it comes up on wifi as Pineapple. It's not dead.
-
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?
-
I'm still trying. I can't get the serial interface to work. Oh well.
-
We are absolutely positive the port speed is 115,200, right?
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
OK, thanks. Which port do I plug into, there are two? The left one says WAN/LAN The right one says PoE Lan Does it matter which one I plug the computer into? I don't need a crossover cable?
-
Are any of these correct? These are the logins I tried, no response from any of them. http://172.16.42.1/pineapple http://172.16.42.42/pineapple http://172.16.42.1:1471

Wow, thanks! I tried again, it came up on wifi as SSID pineapple, but did not give me a number. I assigned one but I cannot get any response on wifi, or on either ethernet port. I connected, but nothing else. I looked with wireshark and I see router solicitations, so it's talking out, but I cannot connect. I didn't try the USB port, should I?
-
No, the Mark IV is not working, and what I mean by that is I cannot login. It does appear as "Pineapple" on wifi, but I cannot get it to talk to me. I gave the whole procedure in the first post. Everything I did. It does not hand out numbers on DHCP, and I cannot login. If you know a trick I would love to hear it.
-
I edited that for clarity. I just mentioned that I have a Mark V as well as the current Mark IV that I am working on. And that even though I do posses a later platform, the old Mark IV could sit there running KARMA for a year. Which is true, right? A guy can have two, I think. I don't post about the Mark V here, I do that over there.
-
It doesn't look that complicated. Serial console coming up.
-
Yeah, isn't that serial console on that unit a little complicated? It might not be worth the trouble. It needs the FTDI chip? Or does it matter? I have a USB to serial cable that uses that somewhere. I just need a few jumpers. Hmm. I have a Mark V as well, you might remember. The thing is, the old Mark IV could have sat there running Karma forever, and it would make no difference at all between that and a new one.
-
I pulled the sandisk nano 4GB drive and stuck it in a windows system, and I was offered to format it. Should that disk be readable on windows? I sure couldn't read it. Could that stop the unit from booting or responding?
-
I tried http://172.16.42.1/pineapple http://172.16.42.42/pineapple http://172.16.42.1:1471 No response. And no ping response to that address, either on wired on either port or wireless. Nothing. So I just dunno.

I pulled out my old WifiPineapple MKIV from my archives to play with. I had been playing with my MKV last week, you might remember. This is the really old one, says Hak5 on it. It has it's little 4gb sandisk usb drive in it. It does not say WifiPineapple on it. Says HAK5. So I plugged it into power. WLAN, USB and PWR lights are on. It started up and it appeared on wireless named pineapple. So far so good. I connected. It connected immediately. The computer failed to get a number from DHCP so I gave it static number 172.16.42.4. It tried, though. I tried to access it at it's default address of http://172.16.42.1/pineapple No response. No ping response either on wireless, though I am connected. So I plug in a ethernet cable, I tried both the WAN/LAN and the PoE/LAN ports. The computer tried DHCP, but no number. So I give the wired ethernet port address 172.16.42.2. It connected. LAN light goes on. I tried to access it at it's default address of http://172.16.42.1/pineapple I then tried the alternate address http://172.16.42.42/pineapple which is supposed to be for USB. No response. Tried to ping 172.16.42.1, no response. I pushed the red reset for 15 seconds. No difference as far as I can tell. Any ideas? The red flag here is the no DHCP server problem, of course.
