Serial port times out after setup

Do you have DFU-util or CLI installed?

Yes. I just deleted everything to start from scratch. I followed your tutorial at:

to install the DFU driver, and I installed CLI following this:

I'm getting all the way through setup, but then it just sits there and flashes blue at me. Once again, I seem to get positive feedback that everything is set up ok, but then nothing happens. Here's the log, maybe you can see something wrong. Sorry, I don't know how to put this into a code block:

Your environment has been set up for using Node.js 0.10.33 (x64) and npm.

Then I disconnected it, plugged it back in, it flashed green, then cyan, then magenta, and I got all hopeful that it was going to work this time. Then it just went solid green. I gave it about 10 minutes. I cycled power, and same thing, just solid green.

Solid green is caused by it not being able to connect to wifi. That particular issue is fixed in the 0.4.6 release, due out this coming Wednesday.
