Did anyone else back the Kickstarter for the Onion Omega2?
I just got mine, and am having difficulties getting it to work.

I did but they have been sitting in the box since I got them :(

Anything you want me to help troubleshoot?

I had to manually update the firmware on it. I can't get the damn thing on our wifi at work. I'm going to reset it and try again from home in a more-controlled environment (man, that's sad to say).

I got mine "working" today. Finally. I had to serial into the console, do a factory reset on it, upgrade the firmware by hand, reset it again, and then go through the web-based setup.
It's now online on my wifi at home. 

However..
* It still advertises it's own wifi (even while connected to mine), so that's rather insecure.
* I purchased the "expansion dock" with it, which comes with an RGB led. The control software for that LED, "expled", segfaults when I try to utilize it. 
* I did find the "gpio-ctl" software, which DOES seem to work with the RGB LED. 
* Their documentation on GPIO's indicates to use "omega2-ctrl", which segfaults for me in every mode of operation.

So far, I'm fairly underwhelmed.
