Today I lost power and my v2 Flukso bricked itself when power restored.

I was able to reflash the firmware on my desk and have it reporting nicely however when I moved the Flukso back to it's normal location near the fuse box, it had lost it's settings and had bricked itself again in the short time the power was removed. I ended up needing to flash it in place next to the fuse box so I didn't have to power it off. I'm now worried if the power goes off again I'll need to reflash.

I opened the Flukso and I can see a small 16v capacitor - I couldn't see any battery or other capacitor so I wonder if that Cap needs replacing so it can keep the settings, or is there another device.

Ideally I'd like to buy a new one - are they still being made? I haven't seen any activity by Bart for a long time?

Thanks in advance

My old Flukso bricked today and I'm having trouble finding the ap51-flash-gui.exe program as the link in the no-ip method doesn't work. Would anyone be able to share the file please?.

Thanks Ian vk2him at gmail . com

Hi,
my FLM2B has been serving me for years but last year it bricked itself, no heartbeat, no life.
I could reflash it using th no-IP method, I got it back up, reconfigured it, all ok again.
But some time ago this year it bricked itself again. No heatbeat and of course no updates anywhere anymore. Same old.

I reflashed it yesterday 2x, letting it (re)boot ... no heartbeat. today again a successfull reflash but no heartbeat. Is there something I can do further to troubleshoot? Any serial connection internally I can tap into to maybe get a shell and see what's (not) going on?

I know it's (just) a Dragino v1.0, HW produced in 2011, so maybe long past it's service life but since I could still happily flash the device, there's still life in it. Alternatives are buying a new one but they're not available for sale anymore. Or I have to look at a completely different solution.

Thanks.

Hello
Does anyone know of anywhere in australia that sells clamps? the postage from flukso is more than twice the price of the clamp.

(no, no basic question about how to set a client IP ;)

Had a bricked Flukso v2 with a broken power supply. The power supply is replaced, and the flukso boots again. However, it is not responding on IP.

Fully simular case as https://www.flukso.net/content/no-ip-connect:

1/ wifi off
2/ eth on
3/ globe on
4/ heartbeat on
5/ power on

Successfully flashed the flukso according to the procedure mentioned above. Flash succeeds (from windows, run as administrator, reboot flukso, finds the correct arp requests and can flash it completely). Last step is "rebooting the device". Waited 10 minutes after that.

After the 10 minutes, I cannot connect to 192.168.255.1 (pc has 192.168.255.100/24, direct connection). To make it more special, when capturing the network traffic on this NIC, and filtering on the wired mac of the Flukso, i notice it sends out arp request for itself, but no response.

Frame: Number = 1008, Captured Frame Length = 60, MediaType = ETHERNET
+ Ethernet: Etype = ARP,DestinationAddress:[FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF],SourceAddress:[A8-40-41-00-1F-49]

TargetMacAddress: 00-00-00-00-00-00
TargetIp4Address: 192.168.255.1

From what I see, I would say that the flukso can load network L2, but not layer3.

The reset in the manual (30-60 sec or 60-120 sec) is not working either, as this requires the globe led to flash.

Any hints how I can reanimate this device?
