bko,
Thanks for your response again. I used the DFU utility. Just so there is no translation error, here is a cut-and-paste from the cmd window:

Now, somehow, after pressing buttons randomly, I have gotten it back to breathing magenta. I'm assuming I need to claim it somehow through the web interface. It's asking for a big long hex string, but how do I get it from the device? I looked on the box, and there is no hex string that I can see. I can't talk to it via USB because it is in breathing magenta mode, and the app doesn't see any photons.
