I just got a new Pixelblaze V3 in the mail (firmware 3.12), and I was trying to get it set up on my network. I get connected to the WiFi setup page just fine, and it sees my home network, and it connects once I authenticate, and then I can find it with the discovery service and start loading a page; getting the spinning cube…
Then the page times out. All subsequent attempts to load the page timeout quickly, and I can’t even ping the Pixelblaze (“Destination Host Unreachable”) and I have to hold down the button to start the process over again.
I made sure the WiFi antenna was clear of all obstacles. I thought it might be a power supply issue, so I switched from my regular charger to a 2.5A USB power supply. Same thing.
The only other indicator I see is a garbage SSID showing up when I scan my WiFi, which (given the strength and the timing) seems to be the Pixelblaze. Is there anything else I can do here? This seems to be pretty much dead?
Oh, I almost forgot. I haven’t hooked any LEDs up to it yet. Just the plain board hooked to a 2.5A USB power supply. Nothing else.
