Can't connect Spark Core to my WiFi net [SOLVED]

Troubleshooting
15

Since you got the WiFi solved, you might want to flash a very simple sketch via Web IDE (aka Sparkulator :wink: ) that performs a Serial.begin(); to make the Core connect via serial (without going into listening mode - blue RGB).

e.g.

int i = 0;

void setup()
{
  pinMode(D7, OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop()
{
  digitalWrite(D7, HIGH);  
  Serial.print("Hello, world! ");
  Serial.println(++i);
  delay(500);
  digitalWrite(D7, LOW);
  delay(500);
}

This way you’ll get additionally to a serial test an updated Core firmware that should support WPA2, WEP and open WiFi.
Once you have been able to serial connect, you can reflash the original Tinker firmware just via the Tinker app.

Other things you could check:
USB cable deffect?
Uninstall/reinstall spark_core.inf
Does the Core disappear and reappear along with the Windows device disconnect/connect tune in Device Manager when you press the RESET button on the Core?
Have a look in this thread especially post 30 :wink:
