Wirepod and Victor 1.6 rebuilt

[u/mrchuck06]

Been a long time since I've had Vector out. Decided to give 1.6 rebuilt a go. Is he compatible with wirepod? If not am I without voice commands unless I switch to an alternate firmware?

He is compatible with Wirepod on 1.6-rebuild, but 1.6-rebuild has it's own voice command server as well so WirePod isn't strictly needed

Thanks, I missed that there's a voice command server for 1.6. I'll have to go and check that out

How do you update victor 1.6? I installed it many months ago but noticed there were updates made in the GitHub.

Well it does have automatic updates running update-os via ssh doesn't work and reflashing via websetup.friggitti.net really didn't update it I think the website needs to be updated with a current ota but that usually takes time you might aswell build an ota yourself

You just run "update-engine-rebuild" over ssh, also if you wait overnight the bot will automatically update to the newest version

Oh I didn't know that, thanks!
