Ahh, ok. If @Stephen were so inclined, he could try this bodge to use IO15 instead of IO12 (I think this is the same board). Good test for that microscope when you get it It is interesting. They must have used the other flash chips, maybe due to price and availability

What made it work? SD card in or out? Can @Mr Robot or @mytek confirm which pin is used on this board?

Sounds to me like you're getting bit by the IO12/SD Card Detect pin bug. Did this get changed to IO15 on your board? Try flashing with and without a SD card in the socket and report back

Awesome work and thanks for releasing the design. I've pulled the FujiNet relevant parts and put them in the FujiNet hardware github repo.

No, the flasher should still start without FujiNet hooked up.

The config info is also stored internally on the Fujinet. To erase the internal config you can hold the B button (middle left button) when you power on the FujiNet (with SD card removed). This will erase your wifi AP settings, configured hosts and mounts. Then you can start by adding the original hosts back ("SD" for sd card, "fujinet.online" for tnfs, etc). Is there any kind of error message or does it not do anything? Windows could be blocking the program from running but usually shows a message stating that or ask if you want to run it.

Your fnconfig.ini file could be corrupted on sd card. Try removing it from the sd card.

No easy mods to make 1.0 like the later versions. Not really sure. I never had a problem with my two 1050 drives and v1.0.

Yes, the Fujinet flasher from https://fujinet.online/download is the one to use. Glad you got it working!

Ok, lets try to eliminate the plaformio problems and use fujinet flasher to update the device. After flashing it with fujinet flasher, what debug output does it show and what do the 3 leds do?

In post 1 it shows you are building for hardware fujinet-v1-8mb. If this is not custom built hardware you should pick fujinet-v1. I don't think the message in post 3 is an error, it's the bootloader messages. Bootloader messages are displayed at 115200 baud and fujinet debug output at 921600.

Games: Midimaze and Warships are 2 other games. This thread is about FujiNet hardware, you should probably start a new thread topic in this subforum and ask again.

That indicates it did not flash properly. I'm guessing this is the same usb cable and computer you used to flash the other one? If so, then I'd say it's a problem with the fujinet. You could try another cable and computer to rule that out

What do the LEDs look like after flashing? They should dimly flash then turn off and stay off.

Model LeCheape-1 and LeCheape-2 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R21LN5P https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LKLB9YW The FujiNet is 12 inches from the AP because they're both on top of my desk. I'm not trying to actually get better signal but I get what you mean.

Here are some unscientific results of a wifi AP scan. #1 and #2 are my APs, the first being upstairs about 12 inches from the fujinet, second is downstairs on the main floor. These are just a single set of scan results with no averaging. Blank field means it wasn't in the scan results. PCB antenna is a stock FujiNet, small ext antenna is the little nub (see above image), and the big ext antenna is the giant black one (see above image).

I don't think this made it to the wiki so whats here is it.

Latest firmware is: FujiNet Version: 0.5.ba2f6751 Version Date/Time: 2021-07-27 12:03:04 Build Date/Time: Mon Aug 16 01:45:57 UTC 2021 You can confirm the version above by running the flash tool serial monitor, hit reset on the FujiNet and the bootup messages will display the version number. Also, the web interface shows the firmware version number in the NETWORK Section. You could try doing a 'factory reset' by holding the B button, press RESET button and wait a few seconds before releasing B button. This wipes the FujiNet configuration. Another way is to remove the SD card, delete fnconfig.ini from it, flash latest firmware on FujiNet and try again.

I (finally) tried them tonight and both boot loop

I will test it when I have time. Here is a more reasonable antenna for me:

compile it without DEBUG ?

And here it is, it works. Not really sure if the signal is any better as I see all the same networks with pcb antenna fujinet. How about this antenna?

I'm sure it's possible to put a switch but that seems like a lot of work and I am not an RF engineer Pretty sure all the wiring must be shielded properly. maybe someone already makes a IPEX to switched SMA or PCB antenna. You could just get a small stubby SMA antenna instead of some huge thing. Took me about 30 minutes to extend the FujiNet case rear and add the SMA cutout to the 400/800 style case. Printing it now to see if it fits:

@Kyle22 has requested a FujiNet with external antenna. Is there any other interest in such a thing? It would require a modified (bigger) case to house the antenna connector and an esp32 with ipex antenna connector. You loose the ability to use the internal antenna (unless you can solder a 0201 resistor when you want to switch back and forth).

Awesome! When esp32 boards are back in stock I can make them for you, but as of now I have no plans to produce them. In person they are more difficult to eject than the push/pull socket. This could be discussed in hardware thread if you want to "change my mind". Like this? I made this as a joke a long time ago, it's not a real thing. A FujiNet with external antenna port could be made, but we've heard very few reports of wifi signal problems. Could be the same PCB but use the esp32 module with ipex connector and newly designed case to fit the external antenna connector. This can also be discussed more in another thread if you want.
