Incompatibilities with Spark CLI 1.2.0 #61

nebrius · 2015-05-28T19:03:59Z

When running Spark CLI 1.2.0, the only version that worked for us at JSConf, we had to flash voodoo spark with spark flash [id] voodoo, which is an older version of VoodooSpark. Our installation instructions are at https://github.com/opheliasdaisies/nodeboats-jsconf2015.

When we flash the latest version straight from GitHub, we would get a 404 error very quickly (less than a second after startup). This error came from the call that spark-io makes to get the device info (not from a voodoospark call).

This doesn't really make sense, but it's what we observed ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

This issue is mostly to track the problems we ran into that wasn't purely Spark Core based.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Thanks for the report!

blackjk3 · 2015-06-05T21:52:22Z

@bryan-m-hughes I also noticed this issue. I have a Photon which needs a newer version of the cli for "particle setup" to work. It looks like an issue with voodospark and the "endpoint" action results in a 404. I saw some people suggest that I flash with the lastest version of voodospark but that ended in a trail of errors. I would love to help out but i'm not really sure where to proceed from here.

nebrius · 2015-06-05T21:54:50Z

@rwaldron do you have a photon yet? I don't, and without one in hand, I couldn't test and say what's going on.

On an unrelated note: here's why we had to use an old version of the Spark CLI: particle-iot/particle-cli@a5ae0db

rwaldron · 2015-06-05T23:33:16Z

I do, but when I first got it there was no cli that worked for it yet and I didn't have time resources to try and figure it out out. I just tried flashing voodoospark to the photon that I have and it doesn't work:

I see Photon-E5AF in my wifi networks and the particle setup claims to have completed successfully. I have no idea what's going on.

I don't quite understand what that change means for Spark CLI...?

nebrius · 2015-06-05T23:42:27Z

The cli command setup first queries to see what devices are available. They forgot to rename the device in this one single place when they renamed the company (it's technically the Particle Spark Core, not Particle Core), so the CLI basically said I have no idea what "Core" is. It isn't "Spark Core", "Photon", or "Electron", and just gave up immediately.

nebrius · 2015-06-05T23:43:34Z

Oh, so the DFU thing...you have to hold down the reset and mode button, then release the reset button, and wait until it's flashing yellow (not flashing white) to put it in DFU mode (takes many seconds). Then that command should find it.

Wow.

I can't spend any more time on this tonight. It's 8 o'clock and I have to start dinner for my wife and I soon

nebrius · 2015-06-05T23:55:20Z

You and your silly eastern time zone ;-) Enjoy dinner!

blackjk3 · 2015-06-06T01:22:15Z

@rwaldron haha, yeah I had to make dinner for my wife and 3 year old as well. Anyway, originally I flashed it successfully with $ particle flash device_id voodoo which worked. (At least flashed magenta, then breathing cyan) But then when I tried running anything it's a 404 error. Until jsconf, I had always flashed code written in C/C++ so I apologize for not really knowing what i'm doing :)

Resseguie · 2015-06-06T03:57:12Z

@bryan-m-hughes with that "Core" -> "Spark Core" fix in on the CLI, the latest works with the Spark Core now?

But something still not right with Photon? Am I tracking correctly?

Hopefully I'll get my Photon soon so I can help test.

nebrius · 2015-06-06T04:23:26Z

@Resseguie that is my understanding, but admittedly I have not tested since the cli fix I referenced was landed, so I can't say with any confidence.

blackjk3 · 2015-06-06T20:18:42Z

@bryan-m-hughes confirmed! The core works with the cli fix referenced above.

However, the Photon throws this error right away.

blackjk3 · 2015-06-16T17:51:58Z

Ok, I got it to work! The issue was voodoospark and the setup() method. It worked on the core but bombed on the photon. With this patch I got it to work on both. I tested 2 cores and 2 photons. voodootikigod/voodoospark#45

luke3butler · 2015-06-26T15:04:42Z

@blackjk3 and you loaded spark-io successfully?
If so, then I'll be trying it out.

blackjk3 · 2015-06-26T15:55:25Z

@luke3butler yup. With the patch to voodoospark flashed on a core or photon spark-io works for me. Let me know if you have issues.

Resseguie · 2015-06-27T02:17:18Z

Unfortunately I'm still waiting to receive my early bird photon.

ericterpstra · 2015-08-19T01:59:52Z

I am still unable to get spark-io working on my Photon. I've flashed the latest voodoospark firmware (with @blackjk3 patch) and get the following error when attempting to run the "Hello World" code (to blink D7).

blackjk3 · 2015-08-19T18:27:12Z

@ericterpstra according to the docs 401 error code = "Unauthorized - Your access token is not valid." That is a good sign I think, since I was getting a 404 before. Can you verify that your access token is valid or refresh it from the particle IDE and try again?

ericterpstra · 2015-08-19T19:06:02Z

Yep, you are correct. My token expired. Generated a new one, and all is well. Thanks!

blackjk3 · 2015-08-19T23:44:41Z

Yippie! Glad it works.

slooker · 2015-10-06T03:54:28Z

I was getting the same problem (401) and I re-generated my token, but now I get this error:

$ node blinky.js 
events.js:85
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^

Running this as per the voodoospark page works fine:

curl https://api.particle.io/v1/devices/{DEVICE-ID}/endpoint?access_token={ACCESS-TOKEN}

rwaldron · 2015-10-06T13:58:40Z

Are you using a photon or core?

slooker · 2015-10-06T15:21:39Z

Core

rwaldron · 2015-10-06T21:13:39Z

Do you have spark-cli or particle-cli installed?
Do you have the latest voodoospark installed?

slooker · 2015-10-06T21:14:26Z

Particle-cli, and I updated to the latest voodoospark before posting here.

rwaldron · 2015-10-06T23:38:12Z

Particle-cli, and I updated to the latest voodoospark before posting here.

Thanks, I need as much information as possible and I didn't see it mentioned. Please paste the exact code you're using here, but delete your token and device id.

slooker · 2015-10-07T17:41:28Z

Now I can't even get it to get to the point where I enter in the network password. Regardless of whether I have it autodetect the password, it freezes here:

$ particle setup

I have detected a Core connected via USB.
? Would you like to continue with this one? Yes
? Should I scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks? Yes
? Select the Wi-Fi network with which you wish to connect your device: IronYard
? Should I try to auto-detect the wireless security type? No

rwaldron · 2015-10-07T20:19:55Z

Now I can't even get it to get to the point where I enter in the network password

Did you file that with particle-cli?

slooker · 2015-10-07T20:29:43Z

Not yet. I'm going to try it again when I get home (where I was having the original problem) to verify it's not a wifi issue at work.
