For these boards there are more trains in service than there are LEDs on the board, so the LEDs would mostly be on all the time, for this reason we only show trains when they are in the stations.
During the setup process you'll be prompted to enter your WiFi SSID and password to get your board connected.
our trackr boards only communicate with 2.4Ghz WiFi networks (and not with 5Ghz networks). Most WiFi networks support 2.4Ghz but if you are having trouble connecting to your network, this could be why.
If a WiFi network requires you to sign in, like at a cafe, then you won't be able to use your trackr there, as there is no way for the board to sign in to that network.
Some customers have had issues with mesh networks, network extenders, and when the SSID is running on multiple frequencies. For this reason we suggest you use a single 2.4Ghz network directly from your router.
Check our status page, or see our troubleshooting section.
To reconnect your board to the internet you can go through our setup process again.
Yes you can, the main microprocessor is an ESP8266 (esp-12e) which can be programmed like an Arduino through the USB port (or FTDI connector pins on the first MBTA board). Check the product description to determine what LED driver we are using for your board. We've written a blog post to get you started.
Check our troubleshooting section to see common issues and see what our LED codes mean.
