Re: Can't program

Wink technical details?

at the bottom of http://www.plumgeek.com/ringo.html is a technical details section showing the Ringo components (what they are and where they are located). Is the same available for Wink? I cant find it anywhere. I'm after the same details, not a general list of what Wink has.

Press the power button (PWR) to turn on the Wink, ignore the charging light, Wink needs to be turned On for serial connection to work.
