Is it possible to use electron in manual or semi-automatic mode without claiming the device? I am using the LED blink code with the addition of
SYSTEM_MODE(SEMI_AUTOMATIC)
However my electron keeps going into listening mode. I have updated the firmware by issuing
particle update
from the CLI, which seem to complete the task successfully. I am using the electron without any SIM card. I want to setup the basic local tasks before I connect it to cloud. I noticed that updating the firmware solved the problem for few people. Sending ‘v’ over a terminal in listening mode returns
Hmm, you’re using firmware that’s incompatible with an electron. Seeing as you haven’t claimed it yet, it’s not yet available as a target. As such, you’ll have to compile using the CLI. Make an empty directory and copy & paste your code into a blank .ino file. Then, in that directory, issue particle compile electron . in the CLI. That should give you a binary which you can flash using particle flash --usb [.bin name].
