    Where is Neo 'Configuration' ?
    It has been replaced by 'Quick Configuration', which doesn't set passwords, timezones, etc.
    How can I invoke the old 'Configuration' webpage ?

    (1) That's just the docs, I mean the real thing. What I have is shown in:
    http://www.udoo.org/an-updated-enhanced-web-control-panel-for-udoo-neo/
    Note that the 'Configuration' menu item is replaced by 'Quick Configuration', which is useful but does not do what the 'Configuration' did. So how can I invoke the 'Configuration' ?
    (2) No, I'm using Ubuntu.

    It should do the same. Perhaps you do not see the submenu under configuration? Use another browser (firefox) to check?

    If that is the case then it's a puzzle -- I purchased the official SD card in Oct-2016, and I updated the OS yesterday.
    So the question remains, how do I invoke the 'Configuration' ?

    I have Udoobuntu 2.1 running and I have a configuration menu as displayed in the documentation.
    This should do the trick.

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    reboot your Neo

    How do you find out what version of Udoobuntu is running?
    [ /etc/issue says: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l ]

    I get "Udoobuntu v2.1"

    Great! That worked, many thanks. Nice yoke, very neat.
    I'm using it to collect ambient temperature using the LM175b. I want to collect both inside & outside temps but the LM175b daisy-chain cables are too short to get through the wall to outside -- it would help if they were twice as long. Any idea where I'd get a cable with male & female connectors that could be used to extend the daisy chain?
    Also a really good idea would be to fix things so DHCP*actually* works for the WiFi link.

    You mean the TMP75b? I believe these cannot be daisy chained because they all have the same I2C address. You could use the MPL3115 kit to daisy chain it with which also can measure temperature.
    Concerning the cable you can cut the old cable in the middle and solder an extension in between. It is advised to use a shielded cable as the I2C protocol was not designed for meters of in between distance.

    Yes, the two sensors I have are the TMP75b.
    Their website says "UDOO Bricks work along a cascade configuration", but I'll test them tomorrow.
    I'll take you advice and splice in a 30cm extension.

    Did you succeed in monitoring the temperature?

    Sorry, yes, I had it working as soon as the OS was updated, but only for one sensor. I'm somewhat diverted by Christmas, so will not get around to extending the sensor cable until the New Year.
    Thankyou very much, I'll let you know when the cable extension is done, B.A.C
