New photon problems flashing

So I bought a new photon to control a refrigerator I added it to my account , it shows as connected in the web-ide but I can’t flash it with code. I just sits there with the blue led breathing away and the flash times out.

I have tried removing it from my inventory and adding it back.

any ideas?

thanks steve.

Breathing blue or cyan?

Hi,

Are you farmiliar with the particle-cli tools?

If so I would try running the ‘Particle Device Doctor’ command.

Hi Murmsk,

Can you signal it from the web IDE?
What about a really simple program like ‘blink an led’? Does it do that?
What version of system firmware have you selected?
