@ahmadelmasri I solved this with a tip from the README. Python version was incompatible.

@duhmojo said in I might get crapped on for this, but where is basic assembly information?: pycom.io/gettingstarted Hi, Firstly I would like to thank you for your feedback. We always welcome constructive feedback and we will working on overhauling the getting started guide very soon soon. We certainly need to provide better information regarding the antennas in the getting started guide. The URL the package points to is just a heading chapter, you can then use the arrows to navigate to the next page. I admit this isn't very intuitive, this will be improved in our overhaul.To directly answer your queries: The long black antenna is for LoRa/Sigfox, the flat antenna with four fingers is for the cellular radio and you do not require to use a wifi antenna because the module has a on-board chip antenna (the beige coloured block on the bottom of the module). The pinout which can be found here: https://docs.pycom.io/chapter/datasheets/development/fipy.html details which connector is which. A guide on how to connect the module to a Expansion board, pysense or pytrack can be found here: https://docs.pycom.io/chapter/gettingstarted/unboxing.html#first There are two tabs which take you through the process step by step including a link to a guide on how to update the pytrack/pysense firmware. (this is not the same as the modules firmware).

@seb A) FiPy+PyTrack+LiPo-Battery (Not-Attached-to-USB3.0) 
Vin = 4.09~4.10 V 3V3 = 3.32 V B) PyTrack+USB-Serial-device (Attached-to—USB3.0) same port as A)
 Vin = 4.85 V 3V3 = 0.23 V C) PyTrack+USB-Serial-device (Attached-to—USB3.0) + Hotswap-in-FiPy same port as A) & B)
 Vin = 4.55 V 3V3 = 3.32 V D) PyTrack+FiPy+NO-USB-Serial-device (Attached-to—USB3.0) same port as A) & B) & C) same combo as C) Just unplugged USB from PyTrack, and re-attached it…
 Vin = 1.69~2.51 V 3V3 = 1.15~1.91 V Also, worth nothing is that if my hand slips with the measuring probes, I get it to “boot-up” by accidentally shorting GROUND & 3V3, and I get a USB-Serial-Devices on my computer [ergo like A), B) & C) …] … And then, I get the same Vin & 3V3 as C) Which makes me conclude that you’ve guys have a Firmware issue!!! … and not a “bad usb-cable” or “bad usb-port” … etc etc. For some reason, in the boot-sequence of the PyTrack Firmware, it choose not to boot-up FiPy and enable USB-Serial … And, again, it’s odd that I can short GROUND & 3V3 with my measuring probes, and then it boots up FiPy and enables USB-Serial…

Help me create a bootable USB, I want to install Windows 10 on my system. From where should I download the iso file.

If you are looking for simple REPL through telnet I can recommend you to check out my Python script: link Easiest way to get started :) If you want to write scripts for your device, like main.py (a.k.a. modules) then you can do so in your favorite code editor and upload through ftp.

I tried to install the missing things manually, see what happens when calling $ pymakr Python 2.7.12 libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile Warning: translation file 'eric6_de_DE'could not be loaded.
