@macsboost was it blinking magenta rapidly? That might be a system firmware update happening.
Every product is tested before it leaves the factory but if you have the barcode information… maybe you can PM @will who can pass it on for verification with their logs
it did the magenta blink several times… but this was not typical. It was obviously in some sort of loop of death… connecting to wifi, crashing, to safe mode, rebooting, etc etc.
I let it go for an hour behaving badly before giving up and reloading the internet button example.
I am now running the internet button example. clicking individual buttons works, but clicking all four, then waiting a few seconds causes another crash… the rainbow cycles just over 1/2 way, then I get the green blink and a reboot.
I have tried several power supplies so I do not believe the issue to be power related. It seems to be software.
I have 7 other particle devices running, so this one seems weird and it seems to be code. I’m using the latest 5.0 firmware and currently running the #9 code directly from the example.
