Please give feedback on the instructions so that we can improve them. You can also message us through the support form.

If the text is upside down, you flashed from the wrong build instructions. For the PRO Kit (OLED bottom right) use [1] for PRO Presoldered (OLED top left) use [2]

The reason we had the display on two different location can be found here [3]. From now onwards we will only have display windows on the bottom right.

Please use at least 2.4A power supply. The WiFi issues could be due to that.

Am I confused? I have the pre-soldered kit, but the OLED display is on the bottom-right, not the upper-left.

I will try to track down a 2.4A power supply, thanks.

You might have already gotten the new kit. Can you please contact us at https://www.airgradient.com/support/ and let us know your order number. It should be easy to fix.

I was able to flash the non-presoldered image on my new Pre-soldered unit and it works great now and displays properly.

I did not have a 2.4A USB power supply handy, so I'm still using an old 1A iPhone USB charger and it works fine with the AG across the house from my WAP.

Oof. IMO unless the board only needs 500mA at 5V, you'll save yourself a ton of money in customer service calls by providing your own power supply and "requiring" customers to use yours.
