No kidding. This is not a retail-boxed product off the store shelf. It wasn't even bought in an online store. It is a reward for helping bootstrap an idea that you think is a good one. If you didn't like the idea and didn't support it to help get it off the ground, then you should have waited until others did and Digistump turned it into a completely marketable product before you ponied up the dollars. And yes, when you fund on kickstarter, indiegogo, etc. be prepared to lose your money. There are no guarantees. The Oak is already a success story. Even if digistump never posted a single sentence worth of instruction, so many really intelligent people have this in their greasy hands that they community would document it for them.
That said, I hope they will publish the wiki pages well before they believe them to be fully refined. We are all champing at the bit to start playing. I for one am anxious to get this hooked up to a microcontroller to remotely regulate the temperature, humidity, and airflow in homemade sausage curing chamber. I'm sure those of us who first try to implement a project using the Oak will have decent input to provide for the wiki.
All I have inferred so far about the device is that:
- on power-up it creates a wifi network called ACORN-###### (a hex number) that appears to have SSID 'undefined' to any of my windows 8 computers but appears correctly on android devices.
- Connecting to it gives me an IP of 192.168.0.2, with the ACORN device itself being 192.168.0.1
- Browsing (http) to port 80 gives me a non-interactive page that just says 'Soft AP Setup'.
At this point I'm stumped. (har har)
