Hello
I just finished building the M4 and powered it up. I tried connecting to it through my android phone first and didn’t see it available. Then I tried my windows tablet, still not there. I also tried turning of my wifi network and still didn’t work. Each attempt was done after powering it off and on. Checked the forums and read a thread that there should be a blue light for wifi, there is not. The only lights are the power light and the encoder lights. Any ideas on what to do?

The blue light only shows up if your Maslow is connected to a wifi network.
The Maslow will create its own network if it hasn’t been connected to one manually. Connect to that network to set it up.
Because it can be unreliable when connected to an existing wifi network, I wouldn’t even recommend bothering setting that up unless your access point is very close to your workspace.
My laptops and phone can connect to my wifi 4-5 houses down my block, but my Maslow cant seem to connect consistently from my garage, 40 ft from my access point.
Do you see a Maslow network? it has it’s own network at first. Then you have to login to that network and change the settings to be able to connect it to your home/shop network
This to me sounds like maybe somehow you got a board which isn’t running the firmware 
If that’s the case it is 100% my fault.
If you want to you can install the firmware like this:
But also if that’s not easy to do let me know and I’ll get you a proper board in the mail asap!
This did it. It works now. Thank you.
