Also, when charging and marked as charging is a light supposed to be on to let you know it is actually changing or?

Hello,
 
Thank you for your reply.
I can connect to the robot's control panel via Wifi,  
I can access most of the pages, but i can't actually apply the settings.
I've been trying to reset to factory settings, it confirms it but doesnt appear to actually carry it out.
 
I also tried to connect to the robot over wifi (while it's classing itself as an access point not a part of the home network), but the app didn't connect to the robot successfully.
 
What sort of information would you require for a better idea?
Is it difficult to reflash it?

Hello T. Jump,
 
Thanks for the help.
Just have a question:
 
***********************
The final steps are to configure the Matchport to your infrastructure network instead of just connecting via the adhoc network. If you aren't familiar with WiFi network configuration, ask for some help. If you use the wrong settings, the Matchport won't be reachable, and you will physically have to remove it from the robot to reprogram via the alternative setup below.  
***********************
 
May I ask why on that page it shows this as how to get it set up?

As you may have discovered, following the instructions from the link posted above seems to lead to mishandled set-up and operation of the SRV. It is from countless people getting stuck following the above that I wrote a newer set of instructions listed in the link on a previous post.

Hello,
 
I'm sorry for being a nuisance.
 
With the LED Sequence it happens like this:
 
1 - Red on
2 - All 3 come on
3 - The outer yellow LED goes out.
 
So, after full boot the front (red) and middle (yellow) LEDs remain illuminated.  
But it isnt in the sequence you said it should do.
 
 
Secondly. With your tutorial. The software provided from Silabs does not exist.

I can manually log into the robot once i take off the top card and follow the instructions on that page you provided. Have tried to manually connect to my wifi. Not sure if it is affected by the strange LED sequence or my incorrect data i'm entering (don't believe I am however)
 
Thanks for your help.

It sounds to me like what you described as a boot sequence for the LEDs is exactly what I described. I did not give you millisecond timings on the LED sequence but what you are describing is indicative of a successful boot.
 
And yes, it looks like the links to the CP2102 drivers is broken, but a quick web search brought me to the new page at Silicon Labs where the drivers can be accessed.
 
When you take off the top card you are not logging on to the robot; you are logging on to the radio. The top card is the robot.
 
Not sure what you are trying to do to connect to your wifi. What wifi (access point/router or direct to your computer)? You must have a wifi access point or router if you are trying to connect via infrastructure mode.
 
The default selection does not reset the critical areas that are causing you issues. Also, factory settings of the radio will not work properly with the SRV. You need to get access to the radio by telnet or using the hardwired serial connection (best option IMO). Then you need to go through the set up proceedures as described in the forum.
