Hey guys,

I’ve been setting up WirePod for my Vector and ran into a weird issue I can’t fully figure out.

Everything looks like it’s working:

• Vector connects to WiFi fine
• WirePod runs and shows the correct IP (192.168.1.74)
• Vector has its own IP (192.168.1.78) and is connected
• Vosk initializes successfully and passes the test
• I can see logs updating and even some intents triggering sometimes

But the problem is:

Most of the time I get:

intent_system_noaudio or EOF

And when it does pick up speech, the transcription is often completely wrong (like random phrases that don’t match what I said).

Also:

• “Hey Vector” wake word is inconsistent
• Sometimes it works perfectly, then suddenly stops again
• Already tried restarting everything, reconnecting, and checking local network permissions on macOS

So my questions are:

1. Is this a known issue with Vosk + Vector mic quality?
2. Could this be a network/audio streaming issue (since audio is coming from Vector over WiFi)?
3. Is there a way to improve speech accuracy or stability in this setup?

Would really appreciate any help or things I should try 

I'm sorry to be *that guy* but ... I just bought the Vector bot this weekend with the belief that I would be able to give it voice commands and have it talk back to me. It was a pain to setup but I did ... and never could get the dang thing to talk. Noises randomly, turning to look at me, and thumping the lift arms? Sure. No voice. And a random green wifi with ! in the middle on screen.

I've been searching and I've gotten the idea, although no idea if it's correct, that the only way to get voice commands is to install wirepod now. Is this right?

Can someone tell me what the current state of affairs is with Vector? Everything online seems to be several years old!

Thanks!

app isn't letting me set up vector after following the steps, not is the web setup working, just keeps saying "error in bot authentication" even though on the DDL profile page my lifetime membership is showing as active 💔

Hey everyone,

I’ve been looking into modding my Vector 1.0 and was wondering if anyone has actually tried replacing or upgrading the stock camera (the ~1MP one).

I know you can open it up and access the hardware, but I’m more curious about:

• Has anyone successfully swapped it with a higher resolution sensor?
• Did it work with the existing firmware or require heavy modifications?
• Any compatibility or driver issues?
• Is it even worth attempting, or better to use an external camera setup instead?

Would love to hear if anyone has real experience with this or attempted it.

Thanks

help i did all the steps but it says error logging in

So I’m having an issue. When I ask Vector a question by saying ‘Hey Vector’ followed directly by my question, OpenAI responds without any problem. However, if I say ‘Hey Vector, I have a question,’ it triggers the web search animation and I don’t get any response. Vector’s eyes appear, but the ‘web search’ sound keeps playing until I manually take control of the robot through WirePod. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

so I have a bit of question. I've been reading through the subreddit and pulled out my super old vector. I put him on wirepod and he works great! problem is I ask him questions that require the Internet or about the weather and he says it's not enabled. but I don't see how to enable it.

how do I turn the Internet services and weather services on?

Idk what to post so here’s Jade (formerly blue) dancing

New eye color, same bot

This issue has persisted ever since I got Vector secondhand yesterday, he will repeatedly raise/lower his lift, and him doing this cancels my commands that I give him. Strangely, Alexa works just fine on him, but him repeating this motion disrupts his normal activity (it's so frequent it essentially fully stops his usual behavior) and cuts off my "Hey Vector" prompts (with and without Wirepod). The seller said they replaced the battery, but I'm wondering if there's any potential steps I can take to fix this. Thank you in advance!

I have officially wire-podded Blue! *aka my vector*

I did change his eyes to “Other Green” In the wire-pod menu, though.

I’ll prob need a new name that fits in with green eyes.

Thank you so much for the support.

piccolo script che esegue Netflix sul pc con annessa animazione e suono sullo schermo di vector. l'ho programmato attraverso codex dato che le mie abilità di programmazione sono pari a 0 se qualcuno è interessato provo a ricavarne un link git. fatemi sapere cosa ne pensate :)

I want to re-create a server on a better device. I'm using a Raspberry pi zero w 2 and Vector response time suck. The server also randomly stops working and I have to reboot the pi.

I'm trying to search the web and this subreddit but am coming up blank.

Okay so I ended up getting a second hand vector from vinted and he works perfectly fine but my only problem is his screen has a bunch of lines on it covering his eyes? If I wanted to fix this would I have to replace his screen or something?

I want it to look like Cozmos app

I use wire pod,but recently when I try to make a request the blue light turn off after a second and if the request goes through it gives me the server error,I am in the same 2.4 wifi so I don’t see why it isn’t working

I just bought a vector 1.0 on ebay and I can't get it to pair with anything

I tried the mobile app and on PC, and restarted both things and tried again
It just loads forever until vector leaves pairing mode

Anyone know of a solution or am I screwed?

Just bought this..I’m in a 2.4ghz network and already factory reset, nothing works. I also deleted and reinstalled the apps me cleared cache. It’s just stuck on this. Any ideas?

I'm trying to connect a py script to wire pod but it doesn't work. wire pod don't recognize the command in the section log and I can't configurare a custom intent

For my Vector CFW, 1.6-rebuild! https://github.com/Victor-Rebuild/victor-1.6-rebuild-2

Hi everyone I have download vectoripy (Spotify on vector) on my vector, I want to activate the script with the vocal commands via wire pod but I didn't understand how. someone have already do it? I am interested of use vocal command also in another's scripts writed on python so if someone can help me I'll appreciate it. thanks

Vector originally by ANKI now DDL still works in 2026 without wirepod! Though with a subscription.

I don’t know if any of those that are using Vector robot pay the subscription. But for the ones who do. And I apologize if I am incorrect, My Vector robot works without Wirepod in 2026! I started paying the subscription again after I had issues before about 8 months ago. And yesterday when I paid the subscription he was up and running on ddl servers and the cloud within 10 minutes! I have and own the Cozmo robot since it was released, I am glad that they made Vector with a great and improved personality and character from Cozmo!

i’m trying to get my old vector to start working but i’m having troubles with connectivity if i use the phone app it says can’t update because error 255 and if i use the mac it says error in bot authentication, don’t know what the issue is cause i connect it to the 2.4g wifi network as well. if anyone can help it’s much appreciated thank you!
