On a related issue - My PB was working fine until just an hour ago. Now it will not get past the loading screen. I get the spinning translucent cube but it will not get beyond that.
Odd thing is if I unplug the PB altogether and use discover.electromage it finds the PB, right there.
I’ve disconnected the LEDs and run through the WiFi setup sequence a few times. Still the spinning cube o death… It IS pretty, though!
Oh, a few tries back a whole bunch of nonsense symbols were thrown up on my screen.
What is going on is a mystery to me.
Tiny Update - I came back after a bite to eat, The Patterns screen had loaded but the PB was, on discovery, disconnected.
Suggestions? Thanks.
Snow flurries here in Reno. Cold and blustery. I like it.
What were you doing around the time when it stopped working? Not that you were doing anything wrong, but sometimes that can help give a clue for troubleshooting.
Do you know what version it was/is running?
It sounds very different from the other thread. You can get through wifi setup, so your web app page is intact. That also means that AP mode networking (used for wifi setup) works OK? This sounds like a wifi / networking issue when it’s connected to your router.
Try restarting your router, see if that clears it up.
If you don’t have a spare bit of equipment to extend the signal to that area, try switching to AP mode so that you have a direct connection to the Pixelblaze.
If you still have problems in AP mode, I would take a look at moving the PB so that it can get better signal. Sometimes burring them in wires and panels can prevent WiFi signals from getting very far.
