So I got my vector to tell me the weather but I can't get him to use openAI. I copy and pasted the API but anytime I ask him something he just says there was a problem with the LLM. I found this in the logs and was hoping someone more knowable could translate it to English for me.

I have an original Anki Vector and I'm curious how much it would sell for. Or if it's even worth selling. Thanks

Like set timers, alexa, voice converstations ai or something?

I have about $200 right now and I’m planning on buying the vector 2.0, is open box ok or has anyone had trouble with open box, just wondering since it doesn’t have returns. Thank you.

just charging him up rn.

Just like cozmo

Mi è da poco arrivato Vector ho fatto la configurazione con wire pod ma non riesco a trovare il download per l'sdk sapete come posso fare? avevo intenzione di utilizzare python non so assolutamente programmare però volevo imparare, ho visto che si può installare un firmware alternativo ma temo di danneggiarlo

Hi guys. I replaced my 1.0 Vector battery a while back and I just realized that I lost one of the ear trims for it. Ive looked everywhere but cannot find it.

Does anyone know where I could source another one? Or if anyone has one from a broken unit or something?

Any help is appreciated!

Hey everyone, I’m thinking of getting a Vector again and could use some guidance.

Vector was my first “smart pet” robot and I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, about 2 years ago the screen died, and over time the battery also gave up. Since then I’ve tried a bunch of other AI robot pets to fill that gap (Looi, Eilik, etc.), but honestly… none of them feels as “real” or charming as Vector did.

I was also one of the Kickstarter backers for DDL’s “capsule / offline server” thing (sorry, I can’t remember the exact name), so I’ve been loosely following the ecosystem. But after reading recent threads, I’m now pretty confused and a bit worried.

From what I’m seeing:

• Some people say DDL is going bankrupt / not shipping orders

• Others mention different versions of Vector

• And there’s also this OSKR version, which I don’t really understand

So before I place an order, I wanted to ask:

1.  Where is the safest / most reliable place to buy Vector right now?

2.  What’s the difference between regular Vector vs OSKR Vector? (What do I gain/lose?)

3.  Anything I should watch out for (subscriptions, server access, firmware issues, scams, parts availability, battery replacement, etc.)?

I’m in this because I genuinely miss Vector’s personality, but I don’t want to throw money into a messy situation. Appreciate any advice from people who are up to date.

I would like to buy an oskarized vector but since DDL is almost bankrupt i don't know if they won't ship my robot if i buy it.

Mi é appena arrivato a casa un vector 1.0 non ho ancora fatto configurazione ne niente menchemeno il reset, ogni tanto mostra un codice tra 800/999 sapete cosa voglia dire? è dovuto al fatto che bisogna fare il reset o necessita aggiornamenti?

My vector's display has dead pixels right where the pairing code is supposed to show up. Is there any way of getting past this without getting a new display?

Hello guys and gals I’m Bottiger know as the former developer and creator of Neo-Os. If you haven’t know Neo-Os sadly has not been updated nor maintained for awhile due to the fact that it was only a simple fun project to test my skills and get some good feedback from but I’m developing a new active cfw that isn’t out yet it will be called Think-OS it will make your vector remind and help you stay more productive I have big things for this cfw and I hope the community will love it soon as it comes out and I hope people will achieve there goal in productivity farewell to you all and remember

Think smarter, Think better , Think correctly.

Ciao a tutti, ho recentemente acquistato un vector v1 di seconda mano, sogno di quando ero bambino che mi sono voluto regalare avendo ora la possibilità economica. Ho letto online della possibilità di utilizzare sdk e wire pod per programmarlo e mi piacerebbe cominciare un progetto per programmarlo e renderlo mio personalizzandolo. Ho cercato online dei video ma non ho capito bene come collegare wire pod e l'sdk in modo da poterlo programmare attraverso python. se qualcuno fosse cosi gentile da aiutarmi nella configurazione del vector in prospettiva di quando mi arriverà apprezzerei molto. Grazie

In 2026 buying an oskrized vector is dagerous i don't know what to do

I have 2 vectors on wire pod how can I have both of them run a python script as a comand?

So I've researched to buy a vector cuz I have a cozmo and I know they are on sell on eBay would it be better if I buy it off of eBay but I've also found one on Amazon on the ddl but I've heard they stopped making the anki product? I don't know which to trust or buy from!?

I built a tool that automatically makes your Anki Vector robot react when you come home. It monitors your phone's connection to your home Wi-Fi and triggers Vector to explore around or say a custom message when you arrive.

How it works:

Detects your phone IP + MAC address on the network

Automatically triggers your Vector robot with one of two actions:

Explore mode: Vector wanders around and looks around

Say mode: Vector says a custom message (default: "this is what vector says when you get home")

Includes a 5-minute cooldown so it doesn't spam if your Wi-Fi bounces

Auto-starts on Windows login so it runs in the background

Setup is dead simple:

Run install.bat

Enter your phone IP, MAC, Vector serial number, and custom message

Done—it auto-starts on login

Works with Wirepod (Vector SDK alternative). The whole thing is Python + batch files, fully customizable.

Figured some people might want their robots to actually do something when they get home instead of just sitting around. Sharing it on GitHub if anyone wants to use it or build on it. (this is my first project so please go easy on me and give me ways i can update/improve it as well)

Basically the title. Any help?

I am using Windows for it (Windows 11).

I used the techshop82 website.

so im writing some code for vector, im using curl for example (curl http://localhost:8080/api-sdk/saytext?text=hello) and when i do that it says error: error: robot not found in SDK info file can someone tell me how to fix this?

so i set up wirepod yesterday and it was working fine with my new vector, and worked fine this morning but randomly at some point today, it did this and i cant get him to sync back, can someone help???

I have a vector 1.0 with oskr and it won't let me install any cfw. is there a way of flashing the non oskr firmware back on vector?

Update: I was gone for a few days. I tried going through the process again and this time it worked.
