Sounds like you either don't have a particle.io account or you have not run the 'oak' command to let the arduino environment have access to the Oaks credentials.

I have twice followed the instructions at http://digistump.com/wiki/oak/tutorials/arduino and it worked both times. We won't talk about the first attempt, but that goes along with getting to play with really new stuff.

On item that doesn't seem obvious is the need for a particle.io account.

The last response was "After CES".  This is still not working.   This is not how a kickstarter is supposed to work.  Please fix this ASAP
or I will have  to contact the Kickstarter group as well as the Press.

I usually leave non-constructive criticism alone - but I wanted to correct one thing here: I've never mentioned CES, I've never mentioned "after CES" as a deadline. The firmware is late, as are many things in this project, I've given my reasons for that and I'm working hard to pull everything together very quickly, your opinion of all that you are of course welcome to express here - but I have no idea where the CES accusations come from - maybe another project (I think Sesame is using that as one reason they are 1 year late). I've never been to CES, have never considered going, and spend all of my time either caring for my family or working on this project - that's literally it - I haven't taken so much as a weekend off since this project started, so it seems worth setting the record straight about that.

You are most welcome to contact anyone you'd like - but first you may want to contact me directly if you are so very unhappy with it all, I'd be happy to accept a return for a refund.

I'd be happy to help you get them working when the first non-beta release happens next week, and lots of people here would be happy to help you even before that - but to do that we need some more details from you:

"The arduino code won't download because it says I need some other account which won't log me in or register a new account."

What Arduino code - can you send a link or screenshot of where you get stuck? The only account you should need is a particle.io account which you can signup for as part of the setup in the config app.


Thanks to all those who have responded here with helpful hints and kind words!
