Troubleshooting

Hey there,

Based on the hardware in your video, you’ve got an Electron beta unit. The Electron does not seem to be running the default factory code, which is expected of the Electron beta units.

There are instructions available for updating your beta hardware to the latest firmware in the communications that were sent to you or your company representative along with your beta hardware. In the meantime, you can follow these instructions to install the latest version of system and user firmware on your device.

  • Plug the Electron into your computer using a USB cable
  • Put your Electron into DFU mode
  • Type the following commands using the Particle CLI
  • npm update -g particle-cli
  • particle update
  • particle flash --usb tinker
  • particle keys server
    (this makes sure your device has the public cloud key, UDP on production by default)

You should then be able to follow the online prompts at setup.particle.io to configure your device.
