It would appear that my goldfish has changed the AP mode password and now can’t or won’t tell me what he changed it to.
Any ideas?
Which instrument are you using?
Thanks - organelle m
You can get back to the default AP settings in this manner:
- Download a copy of the default AP file: ap.txt.zip (494 Bytes). Unzip it. The AP network name is music and password: coolmusic
- Add the ap.txt file to the root directory of a USB drive
- Insert drive in Organelle M USB port
- Select
ReloadfromStoragemenu - From
WiFi Settingsselect bothStart APandWeb Server - Join your computer to the newly launched Music network and enter password.
- Using your browser, go to organellem.local or the IP address displayed in the
Infopage. You may need to launch a private/incognito browser window to avoid browser cache issues. - Click
Patch Managerand thenSD Card - Delete the ap.txt file there
- Upload the new ap.txt file you just unzipped.
- Shutdown, Remove USB drive from Organelle M.
- Reboot and restart the process from Step 5 to double check that the default AP credentials are the expected ones.
- Buy your goldfish its own Organelle M to avoid this inconvenience in the future.
hi, if I may follow up on this, I know is an old thread but I must bring it up to your attention, Chris, perhaps I can get some help, I own a BLUE organelle m, work perfectly fine, already composed multiple tracks with it, its the centre of my set up to ‘start a new idea at all times,’…however few days ago I decided to finally put some time aside and set up this ‘home network’ instead to keep connect in AP mode, I thought to give it a go, the device worked perfectly fine in AP mode, able to move in and out patches in a mater of seconds, and now thinking why on earth I didn’t leave it that way,…in AP mode,…now, since I set up this home network (wifi set up, then the section with stored networks) I entered the home network name (just how it shows on my wifi router) ‘isaacbjorn’ then a basic password, ‘coolmusic’ (I kept the same password the organelle originally has) and thought it will be saved there, it did appeared the network in the organelle although I newer been able to connect in the home wifi mode, but what’s more frustrating I cant connect it anymore not even in AP mode unless I do the above steps, insert a usb stick in the organelle with the file ap.txt (and I tried both, in zip file and how it was there…a simple text file), click the ‘reload’ in the organelle, then start the AP mode, it will then be seen in my wifi network in my Mac, the actual organelle, I connect it in AP mode and works, until, I shut down the organelle, I then have to repeat the same thing again, insert a usb, reload, and so on, it will not be remembered or saved what I do in the actual device, and ive done the 'remove the ap.text file and uploaded the thing there (both I tried, in zip format and normal text format), but wont remember or save anything, what’s more frustrating I cant even delete the wifi network in the wifi set up (because this problem appeared after I tried to set up the home network). When I power on the organelle the same network it will be there in the device (the network I setup in the computer in the wifi set up of the organelle which is named ‘isaacbjorn’) but even if I delete it previously, it shows as ‘Network Name’ named in wifi set up, and ‘isaacbjorn’ in the organelle, so is peculiar in a way. Literally I gave it a few good hours and it’s rather confusing what’s happening. A friend of mine (the bloke who sold it to me long go) said its a linux problem most likely and can be fixed with some…fiddling in the code section, unfortunately I have little to not much knowledge in linux, I appreciate some input (or help) to get this device up and running. To be honest right now I wont even bother to have this home network set up, if it would work like before, in AP mode is just fine, I was able to do incredible fast work only in AP mode. Thanks, Isaac
Hi, It seems like there are two different things happening here:
- You cannot connect to your home network.
- You can’t connect to the AP after changing the home network settings.
Is my understanding correct? If so, regarding item #1 (home network):
Is your existing home network password ‘coolmusic’ ?
Is your home WiFi network 2.4GHz or 5GHz? The Organelle’s WiFi adapter can only connect to a 2.4GHz network.
Regarding item #2 (AP mode):
The second screenshot you shared would indicate that you are able to view the contents of the SD Card by using the browser-based Patch Manager, correct? If this is true:
If you download the wifi.txt and ap.txt from the SD Card location, and view the contents on your computer’s text editor, do they contain your expected network credentials?
thank you for reply Chris, I have tried the many times these options and possibilities, the only way to connect only in AP mode is to do the usb thing, load the ap.text which says only 'music, cool music, and then insert it in the device, I click reload, and after few minutes the AP mode will work and the organelle will be seen in my wifi network (sometimes wont work, I might have to click reload a few times, and insert the usb again, its frustrating), also the wifi.txt has the wifi network credentials I set see here bellow, I had to manually do them, as it would show blank, I then upload them in the patch manager and still no luck, a few screenshots here, Isaac
the enter access point details in the wi fi setting I left it blank, see screenshot bellow, I think those are the original AP details which are: organelle as network name and pass: coolmusic, I haven’t changed them as I thought is good to be let there by system default, also here a screenshot with the contents from the sd card from the organelle
Hi @isaacbjorn - usually there isn’t a need to look at the SD card’s OS files as shown in your most recent screenshot. It’s probably best to re-flash the OS just to make sure everything is as it should be.
After backing up any patches, recordings, and/or other files that you want to save that are currently on the Organelle, please follow the steps in Chapter 7.1 of the manual to flash the OS.
Once you’ve reflashed the OS, you can enter your existing network credentials (network name & password) by following the steps in Chapter 5.3 of the manual.
…looking back at your previous screenshot showing the ‘Stored Networks’, the existing network name should only be ‘isaacbjorn’ without the ‘Network Name’ and space characters. I crossed out the problematic words:
I will look into to replace the card and reinstall everything, its just time consuming as ive set up everything in line with my vision for the past 5…years, thanks for message
Replacing the SD card is not necessary. Once you’ve backed up any files/patches you can reflash the card. Once you are back online, you can copy your backed up files to the SD card partition. The easiest way to do this is load them on to a USB drive and using the web-based patch manager page, copy from the USB Drive partition to the SD Card.
