Topic: Ironforge Kit bought from Maker Faire Keeps re-booting

Hi,

I bought one of the kits for IronForge from Maker Faire
Assembled it pretty easily,  all works fine with intro and network connection.

I see a screen that "control panel download" is occurring,  then the unit continually resets to a blank screen, then a screen with a "chumby" on it with no words. This repeats.

Let this run for 30 mins, continues the same behavior.

Any ideas?

One thing that was not clear in the instructions is the "switch" the get the chumby menu to show.
I soldered the wire with one to the common, the other to the normally open contact. Then plugged
this into the "bend" connector.

right ? Wrong?

Ok, we manually updated the firmware from a usb stick and it seems to work so far! Good luck!
