<title>For anyone having FabMo connection trouble</title>
<description> Last week, we discovered that our tools here were suddenly having problems getting on the network. It seemed like pressing the &amp;quot;connect&amp;quot; button wasn&amp;#039;t doing anything and then we&amp;#039;d get an error. The weird thing was, it was happening in every browser, with every tool, no matter which version of the FabMo software we tried. We&amp;#039;ve been trying to track down the source of the error (some kind of security change in browsers following that big DDoS attack on October 21??)...in the meantime we&amp;#039;ve released an update that fixes this error. However, your tool needs to connect to the internet to download the update! So for anyone stranded in AP mode, I&amp;#039;ve put together a document describing a work around for getting online to perform the update. You&amp;#039;ll find it at the top of the handibot docs page here: [handibot.com]

When connecting to the tool in AP mode, you have to be sure your device is already connected to the tool&#039;s wifi network before searching for it with the toolminder. You&#039;ll see something like &quot;fabmo-fzed25435435&quot; in your list of available networks<br /><br />Once you connect to that (password is &quot;go2fabmo&quot;) you should be able to access it from your browser at 192.168.42.1 Chrome is preferred but I use safari on my phone without problems.]]></description>

<title>Re: For anyone having FabMo connection trouble</title><link>https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,1897,1934#msg-1934</link><description><![CDATA[ Hi ensnipe,<br /><br />We have another approach we can try. We&#039;ll basically re-flash the whole image on the Edison on your tool.<br /><br />At the moment, this requires that you have a Windows PC from which you are able to do a relatively large download from the internet. And, you&#039;ll need a USB cable of the standard phone charger type (USB A male to micro B male) to plug the Edison into your computer for the transfer.<br /><br />Let me know if you can handle that and I&#039;ll send the instructions. Otherwise, we can swap out your card.<br /><br />Ted Hall, Handibot/ShopBot]]></description>
