Ringo/Wink confusion
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2016 4:12 am
I have recently taken delivery of my Wink but when I follow all the instruction (even choosing Wink from the getting started page) everything refers to Ringo. I have tried three times and two computers setting the blasted thing up and everywhere - all the downloaded code has Ringo all over it. I have managed to upload the preloaded behaviours onto it but nothing more.
I am slightly worried that I seem to be the only person who is having this problem.
Yesterday when I turned the thing on (it took me hours of forums searches to find the on/off switch which is different to the switch in all the videos and documentation), the two eyes were blue. Now when I turn it on, there one red eye and another smaller light has just appeared. OMG what is going on.
All I want is the Wink software, code and videos. I don't want to see 'Ringo' anywhere. It's causing confusion as it's a different creature.
I have wasted most of Saturday and much of Sunday trying and trying to rectify this and to find the correct downloads but now I am giving up.
Any help much appreciated as I have been looking forward to this little thing coming all the way from the other side of the world and the kids are excited about programming it and now I hate it.
