The settings page says your ticker is busy

Symptoms

What the page says while it waitsThe settings page while the ticker does not answer: Your ticker is busy, checking again9:41192.168.1.107 And what it offers once it gives upThe same page later: a Diagnostics box, with Reload page, Copy report, Text it to Lee and Email it to Lee9:41192.168.1.107

Cause

The ticker answered the page’s request with “not now”. It does that while it is starting up and its settings are not yet loaded, while it is in the middle of drawing a screen, and while it is downloading or installing a firmware or icon update. The page keeps asking and fills in when the answer comes.

Fix

  1. Wait. A start-up takes a few seconds; a firmware update a minute or two; an icon update longer. Look at the ticker’s screen: Updating means an update is running and the page will come back when the ticker restarts.

The ticker mid firmware update: Updating Firmware, the version it is leaving and the version it is fetching, Keep me powered on!, and a progress bar 2. If the ticker is showing coins and the page still says busy after a minute, tap the logo to reload the page. 3. If the reload also says busy, restart the ticker by unplugging and replugging, then reload the page.

If that didn’t work
