TGYK Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Check which COM port it's on in Device manager, select that COM port in PuTTy Interesting fact, you can use an Arduino stuck in reset mode as a 5v usb TTL adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtbith Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Swap the orange/red on the Pinaapple side. Thanks but no joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGYK Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks but no joy I recall there being a recent change, something about needing to broadcast the password before being dropped into a shell. Not sure on the specifics, but I think it was covered in the most recent hangout between Seb and Darren covering PineAP. Might be worth looking into.

BeNe Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Here are some pictures i made --> http://postimg.org/gallery/4ux9x2qk/80727a0e/ Please recheck you cables. The options for Putty are fine.

You will see the complete boot process and be able to login as root after boot is complete. Of course you need to set the root password during the setup process. But the shell has nothing to do with PineAP in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I've not tried it with the mk5 yet, but on the mk4 you aren't supposed to use the power lines at all. It powers itself, and using them could break things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I was just saying that they covered changes to the firmware in that google hangout, and recall them mentioning locking down the serial port in it.

barry99705 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hit up your device manager to see which com port to use. In putty set the serial settings to match the port, 115200 8 1 no parity no flow control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry99705 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Cheers Barry but still no luck no black box that way ether just an annoying bing letting me no it not possible to open it You do have the drivers for the serial adapter installed right? You could also try using linux and minicom. Could just be windows being shitty, it happens from time to time....
