Unable to get password on firmware 2.2.9-1

[miceno]

Hi,

This library is really awesome!

I would like to use it and I was using it several months ago, but now I can't get the password :(

Any suggestion?

Node version: v6.10.3 MacOSX Sierra 10.12.6 Dorita980 version: HEAD@563be001e32dd479fd9caab0462ee77504c57fa4

dorita980$ npm run getpassword 192.168.1.33

> dorita980@3.0.11 getpassword dorita980
> node ./bin/getpassword.js "192.168.1.33"

Make sure your robot is on the Home Base and powered on (green lights on). Then press and hold the HOME button on your robot until it plays a series of tones (about 2 seconds). Release the button and your robot will flash WIFI light.
Then press any key here...

Not to promote my work but I litteraly just fixed a python implementation of the same function. You can give it a shot:

pip install git+https://github.com/pschmitt/roombapy@python3-fixes
roomba-getpassword

pschmitt: I went to your github account, but couldn't find the repo?

Hi @miceno, I just try with your node version and works fine for me. Same node and same firmware version.

Password=> xxxxxxxxxxxxx <= Yes, all this string.
Use this credentials in dorita980 lib :)

try deleting node_modules and reinstall. Or updating node.js version. Or try with node 4. Maybe something on your network? try restarting your robot.

let me kwno if it works.
