Give the beta 2.0 a go, the update simplified. Just run flash.bat and type in com port.
Device setup is slightly different but I'm sure most can figure it out.

Hi - I just tried to get this awesome little ticker working again (thanks for continuing to support this!) but after I tried running the updater for 1.7 I see that it says lua: cannot open init.lua and the screen is blank and doesn't load at all. Any advice on how to fix? Appreciate it.

I have one that the screen seems to flicker a bit. Any ideas?
If I added resistors to the jump wires on the backpack you could remove them, it makes the screen much brighter though. You could also try unplug the four cables in to the backpack and plug in again, perhaps not making the best contact. Be sure not to mess up the order.

In the new setup dialog that pops up automatically with v2 (not accessible via the browser), I no longer see the currency and altcoin fields that I used to encounter.
It's a two step process now. Note the IP under "Connected" during startup (https://youtu.be/-vIwev8wiSc). Navigate to that on phone/laptop/PC to finish setup.
There will be a 2.0 final at some stage with more sensible defaults and perhaps pause on the IP address screen for a bit longer and any other sensible changes people suggest.
Awesome thanks.

Aha! Worked like a charm of course! (I dunno why it didn't occur to me to try re-accessing the unit via its acquired IP address. I think I was conditioned by the old all-in-one process to look for currency designation alongside wifi setup.) Thanks as always.

EVEN LATER... Clue needed... How can I change the default currency from AUD (to USD) as well as the default secondary currencies under the new interface?
On the first line, once you are logged into the setup, change AUD to USD or whatever currency you like.
On the second line add each alt coin you wish to see from the available list of coins link separated by a comma then click submit to apply your changes.
thanks!

CloudFlare changed something and screwed a bit of crap code I wrote all those years ago, I can't seem to override it in my CloudFlare account. Turning off CloudFlare at this stage is not an option, I've been ddosed before and it's not pleasant for me or my ISP.
First thing I did was a hacky fix to the existing code base, while this works V1.7 it could break again at any time. I then spent almost the whole weekend rewrite the codebase in the device from scratch in a different language, I've called this 2.0 Beta.
Both are in the normal spot on afkdata.com to download. If you decide to use the 2.0 Beta and then don't like it to go back you need to use the flasher from folder 2. In 1.7 once that's done restart the device and use the exe from folder 3.
I'm interested in feedback on the 2.0 Beta flashing.

Hey @swordfish6975 long time
Flashed one of the tickers without a hitch, nice work!
Appreciate you keeping up with the ticker updates, super helpful.
Thanks!

My ABN has lapsed and personal circumstances have changed so unfortunately, probably not. It's a shame because I have way to many parts here in my garage.
If you want to give soldering a go or know someone who can do it for you think you may need to swap the esp8266 board on your device 1 just make sure to wire it up the same. If the computer can't see it you can't update it unfortunately. The are about $7 -10 AUD from ali express, I would send you one but it would cost $25 shipping.

Do you have all the parts to make the units? If you have the complete hardware setup then it might be worth it to find someone who can do the assembly.
You know it's a working / sellable item so you could probably find someone to take care of the rest and just grab a % of the sales.
Just a thought.

I just updated a unit to v2 successfully (I think)... But when I fire it up, it says "WELCOME AFKDATA" then "SETUP MODE" but then nothing. It used to offer up the prompt to connect via wifi to 192.168.1.7 etc., but no more. It just stays on "SETUP MODE"... What am I doing wrong?
LATE EDIT: Sorry, holy crap, it works beautifully. There's no need to wait for the unit to prompt anything. Just connect to it via WIFI, and you're greeted (on the controlling device) with a beautiful interface. Love it!

I am also an owner of one of your tickers.
really glad that you continue and support those, by releasing firmware updates.
Should we expect to see a 2.0 final version sometime in the future?

It is too bad that you cannot continue with these tickers
There are some other tickers available but your ticker is by far the best. I like the design so much.
Anyway ... Thank you very much for your help!

ok, I got it
device 2 is now perfectly working
device 1 still does not connect
Do you will sell more devices in the future?

From my testing it always shows IP at boot, it is quicker than the older firmware though?

It is a green circuit board and it has a reset button. When I press this button it says "Welcome afkdata" and then automatically connects to my WLAN. It is does not show the IP adress for the configuration anymore
I checked device 1 with unplugged jumper, but it still does not connect

Beta 2.0 will not reset if you have yellow circuit board. If you were one of the first seven customers you have yellow circuit board and no external reset button in a plastic box it's not going to reset any more, please use v1.7 if you require this.
You can change all the displayed currency by navigating to the IP address shown on screen during startup, when it comes out of beta I'll put more sensible defaults.
I just updated the batch file to give more verbose output.
As for your device that's not detected very strange especially because you had one that worked. Can you unplug the side jumper and plug in to the computer?

I have two devices:
Device 1 is not detected
Device 2 is detected
I updated to v2
works well
until now it displayed only two currencies, now it displays different currencies in the second row
Is it possible that I can change it, so that ist shows only BTC in the first row and ETH in the second row
Also it shows now AUD as currency but I want to see USD. How can I change this?
When I press the reset button, it does not reset anymore? Can this be?
Any idea, what I can make that device 1 is also detected?
