SPECIAL MODES
Each board now has three special modes that you can activate with button presses:Reset to factory settings
Resets the board to factory settings, because sometimes you break it so much, the only way to make progress is to begin again.Reset network settings
Sometimes you only break it MOSTLY and doing this will reset JUST the network settings.Set static IP
Sometimes you don't have a DHCP server and you need the damn board to appear on the network (and we don't want to deal with 169. addresses). This sets the IP address to192.168.68.68.HOW TO ACTIVATE
Baldrick8 & Baldrick17
Press and hold a certain button and power cycle the board. Hold B1 for about 10 seconds to reset network settings, B2 to set a static IP address, and B3 for a reset to factory settings.All other boards
Press and hold the 'oh no' button and power cycle for about 10 seconds to reset to factory settings. Press 'oh no' 3 times in 3 seconds to reset network settings, or 5 times in 3 seconds to set the static IP address.Frequently asked (ish) questions
Why can't I set the static IP address it resets to?HOW… A COMBINATION OF DOTS AND DASHES ON THE OH NO BUTTON.. GET A GRIP SAMANTHA, WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE HAPPY THAT WE CREATED A FEATURE YOU WANTED, WHY IS IT NEVER GOOD ENOUGH?? WHY??..
Why 192.168.68.68?
Three reasons: 1) it works better on Dom's local network, 2) ending in 168.68.68 is easy to remember, 3) he couldn't get an IP that worked with 8008135.
