giuliomoro When Salt first gets in your hands, it has some programs running at startup. This means it will take longer than usual (up to a couple of minutes) for the IDE to become available after you start the module. In the IDE settings you can then disable the programs running at startup, or select a different one.
I just got in the salt and salt+ modules second hand. The person I bought it from told me I could just plug it in and start the IDE with windows10, but somehow, when I did, it only recognized the board as a drive (can look into the directory) but not as a network connection. I waited for half an hour now, but the IDE still doesn't connect to the board.
Then I suddenly figured.. I'm not at windows10 at all (switched back to an older windows7 computer just a while ago, that I didn't update to windows10 when it was still free). Could this pose a problem? Do I need to change the firmware or something like that?
I'm also a bit overwelmed with "technical" languague about loading images, running terminals and bash shells. I taught myself to code DSP in C++, but I'm not familiar at all with everything around that..
Also, the salt modules didn't came with a SD-card. Is the card needed to get it to work?
