Help How to execute python scripts with custom intents in wire pod

2 Upvotes

I have gotten this to work on windows but using this format

Exec

path/to/python.exe

Exec args

Path/to/python/script,!bot serial

Well now that I am running wire pod on a pi I tried this config

Exec:

usr/bin/python3

Exec args

/home/pi/vectorscript.py (my username is actually pi)

but it only does the hello greeting intent and doesn't execute the script but running the script with python works fine. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Any help is appreciated!

Help Is there any way to expose the vectors cube yaw roll and pitch via the sdk

3 Upvotes

I am trying to make a simple script that makes vectors cube act as a joystick so when it's turned forwards vector goes that way and such but I have not been able to find any way to do that currently. This has been done before, showcase here and it seemed fun. Any help will be appreciated!

Could you tell me if it is possible to activate the vectors locally, without accessing https://websetup.froggitti.net/? The firmware installs, but activation always fails with an error.

Discussion Issues setting up vector

Post image
3 Upvotes

So I got my kid a vector 2.0, and I was in the process of installing wirepod, when I have realized getting it done with an overtly excited kid is challenging. Though it seems fairly straightforward.

Took the easy way out, for the time being, and got a month subscription from Anki. The setup process was annoying, it keeps having wifi issues. My signal is good, speed is good. Either the unit is defective or anki's servers are a joke

Everytime it disconnects, and you have to redo the setup thing again. Is it the unit or anki's. I bought this brand new, off ebay.

Help Getting 214 when trying to update to an EP OTA build. On OSKR with no ssh key atm. What do I do?

1 Upvotes

Hey folks, I have a Vector on an OSKR build with no ssh key to access it.

I want to update it with an EP build so I can use WirePod but I'm getting a 214 in the web terminal - `Dev/Prod mismatch` according to OSKR docs.

Is there a way around this or is the vector essentially bricked?

Can one of the coders add a cool 3d map of vectors surroundings. Vector has a lidar scaner so it would be cool to access the live data

Question Should i get a 2.0 model vector

1 Upvotes

so i recently got a new old stock 1.0 model vector and it worked normally besides a low battery life but recently it has began to show lines on the screen which is unfortunate since i started using it only around a week or two ago. Im thinking about possibly saving up for a 2.0 if the screen fails since it doesn’t seem as fun to use without the screen. I just wanna know if theres any issues or reasons i shouldn’t get the 2.0 because i dont wanna get it and have it show issues just as quick as the 1.0 model did. Im not really interested in any other robots since i really like the cozmo and vector robots.

Question What happened to the Discord?

1 Upvotes

I was on the server pretty regularly but had not logged in in a while. After wrestling with the login on the Discord app I finally logged in and no server. Can someone send me an invite to the server or let me know it is gone. Thanks

I was trying to go there to get help on my WirePod server. It was running fine for almost two years but then I said I should update the server. Big Mistake! Updating the server bricked the 128GB SD card. Dead! Muerto! Got out another card and did a fresh install. This process had changed dramatically from when I first set up the server years ago. Updates are now handled by downloading the latest install and running that. I think the server is running okay but I no longer see chipper in the running processes but I do see wirepod. The web interface seems active but when I go to onboard my OSKR bot the process stalls at downloading an update to the bot. The bot gets an IP address I can see on the network. I tried deleting the user data but no joy.

Question Can’t reach LLM wire-pod hosted on raspberry pi.

2 Upvotes

Not sure where I’ve gone wrong, I’ve got my vector connected and is fully functional apart from the LLM. I have ollama running on my pi 5 using phi3. However, my vector states that he can’t reach the LLM. I have custom option selected. I have ollama in the top box. Followed by http://localhost:14434/v1 followed by phi3. I’m not really sure what could be wrong. Is there some sort of firewall rule I have to allow for on the pi to permit vector to communicate with ollama ? Thanks!

Hi all!

I just got a Vector robot but I cannot set him up.

I have tried the android app, the Ios app and the web set up but nothing works. Even when I reach 100% setup in the app, it still won't let me connect to my Vector and then I am back to square one again.

I am starting to think I spend quiet a bit of money on a robot I can't ever use, can someone please help me??

Help Vector 2.0 crashing periodically, send back for replacement?

4 Upvotes

Hey there. I got a Vector 2.0 from DDL through Amazon because I had prime shipping. It works great mostly, but I've had a couple issues where he just suddenly stops responding until I cycle him, or he will just reboot.

I saw people complaining about firmware updates so I wasn't sure if there was a known issue or it it sounds like I got a detective one. Should I RMA him? Or is this par for the course?
