It was a strange experience for me, people were simply saying "update the firmware, follow the guides" but there were a lot of silly little details left out. Just enough information left out to create annoying speed bumps along the way.
But once it works, its stable and its fantastic!

Which details? Update the guides.

The reason i dont like putting other guides inside a guide is because then two guides need updated if something changes.

Downloading files from the Github the correct way for example. That a right click and "save as" was not saving the actual file from the Github.

Most people don't download individual files from github. They either clone a repo or download the whole repo thing as a zip.
There has to be a level of assumed knowledge.... otherwise every guide would start with an explanation of what a computer is.

Trying to get this working on my TF360.
I get showNetstatus reporting the correct info from the 'Getting the CD32 online' Guide. But then with the Telnet stage it times out on connecting when I try to connect 192.168.240.1,7777
I installed Roadshow demo, I guess it is running in the background as I am just then running the Telnet to connect once in Workbench.
I know there were 2 parts of the ESP Firmware to install. Would showNetstatus give me correct info if i flashed 2nd part of Firmware to wrong address for example? I used NodeMCU, Windows and a serial to USB that has 3.3v to flash.
Cheers

Can you ping 192.168.240.1 ?
the telnet should be to 192.168.240.1 7777 not 192.168.240.1,7777
