Giving Wi-Fi through Windows command prompt

Oct 11

If giving your roaster credentials through the ROEST Wi-Fi Setup or Particle app fails, you can try with the Windows command prompt. It is possible with a Mac/Linux, but ROEST has no experience using these operational systems.

Requirements:

Computer
USB-B or USB-micro

Step 1: Download the cli tool

Download the CLI tool from here.

Step 2: Connect to the roaster with a usb

Connect the PCB/roaster with the USB. (Either at the back of the roaster with a USB-B type or directly to the PCB with a Micro USB.

Step 3: open CMD

Open command prompt (cmd).

Step 4: Put the roaster into listening mode

Copy and paste the following command into the command prompt:

particle usb start-listening

Hit enter.

Step 5: Give credentials

In the command prompt, write:

particle serial wifi

and insert the SSID and password of the network you want the roaster to connect to.

When asked if you want to scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks, write No.

Your roaster should now be connected to your Wi-Fi.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you enter the wrong password, the roaster will not connect - try again.
The roaster cannot connect to Wi-Fi without a password.
The roaster can only be connected to password-protected Wi-Fi. Not an open network.
The roaster cannot connect to 5Hz networks.
“ACTIVATE” button is only enabled when the bean drop handle is in an open/upward position.
If the roaster does not respond - restart (switch the roaster off and on).
Corporate networks can create problems. Port 9001 and 1883 must be opened.
Try to use the ROEST Wi-Fi setup app instead if you are unsuccessful with giving your roaster credentials.
