No wifi card?

[Mike Deptula]

I recently got a GEVCU 6.2c and it appears it does not have a WiFi card to access the web interface. I'm wondering if this is no longer included or am I missing something or do I not know how to enable it?

When looking in to Serial Monitor ('h' command list) under ENABLED and DISABLED devices, I don't see this WiFi card listed. From the user manual it looks like I can run: "ENABLE=0x1040" but I get "Invalid device ID (0x1040, 4160)"

Is there another way to get to the web interface? or am I missing something here?

The GEVCU6.2 doesn't have WiFi but does support bluetooth. Is there a
module installed on the 9 pin connector near the back of the board?
That's an Adafruit BLEFriend SPI module. Nearby is a dual row of
sockets that accepts a Particle Electron (3G connectivity).

If you need wifi the GEVCU4 and GEVCU5 series of boards did have WiFi.
A big reason for no longer having WiFi is that the WiFi module we were
using got discontinued. In theory a wifi module should be able to be
installed on one of the two connectors that are on board. Particle has
a WiFi module but I don't know that it's pin compatible with the
Electron board.

Ok, Thanks for the reply and letting me know.

I wouldn’t mind using Bluetooth but I don’t think I have the Bluetooth either.

The 9 pin connector (with the 2 screw holes) is empty.

I was able to get the Adafruit BLE in my list of enabled devices but I think the module is missing because I don’t see it on the board and I can’t pick up the signal. 

Shouldn’t I have received that?

I will need that to get to the web interface right?
