Blink V3

[Al B]

I downloaded the latest Blink V3 and using IOIO Manager I made "Blink-IOIO0003" active by starring it. Then, I turned the IOIO OTG off & on and connected it to the Android device. However, the yellow LED did not light nor started blinking. Did I miss any step?

IOIO-OTG (or more precisely, the v4 bootloader which the IOIO-OTG uses by default) doesn't work with IOIO Manager. See IOIODude.

Hum?  I'm now a little bit confused since once you told me that I could use an IOIO-OTG as a programmer to update a IOIO v1 firmware via the IOIO Manager so did I misunderstand you?

Does IOIO Manager only works with the former IOIO v1?  I thought the only constraint was the Android OS version "Android version 4.1 (Jelly Bean) broke the compatibility with the IOIO bootloader. This means you will not be able to use IOIO Manager for application firmware upgrades".

It is indeed a bit confusing. Let me clear up the mess:

IOIOManager serves two unrelated purposes:

1. Upgrade the application firmware on IOIO's which run the V3.x bootloader (which is normally not the IOIO-OTG). This feature will not work on Android v4.1 or greater.
2. Use any IOIO running app firmware V2.x or greater as a programmer for another IOIO (any version), thus being able to upgrade the other IOIO's firmware. Since IOIOManager is not currently built against IOIOLibAccessory, you have to use ADB or Bluetooth (between the Android and your "programmer" IOIO) for doing that. ADB mode doesn't work on Android 4.2.2 or greater. If BT is not an option, you can rebuild IOIOManager with IOIOLibAccessory baked into it, which I'll probably do myself at some point.
