hi @erik, whilst the Luxonis RobotHub looks useful … it is a good thing for the rae (and all other products) to be able to operate independently of RobotHub in other cases. After all, it is running Linux … and Wi-Fi should just work 🙂
I haven't figured out yet why the wpa_supplicant
process is failing on my rae … the first time that the wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp1s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
command is entered and then succeeds the second time, but will diagnose further.
Regarding using the Luxonis RobotHub to configure Wi-Fi on the rae robot … entering one's personal Wi-Fi network SSID and password on a third-party web-site is a security risk, which some people may be comfortable with, but really is a poor security practice that should be avoided. At the very least, offering an open-source tool that can be reviewed and run locally to produce a QR-code on the desktop would be better … thanks !
Note: I realize that completing a KickStarter hardware project … including all the software, firmware and documentation is a huge endeavor. Please don't take my comments as being overly critical … I like the Luxonis products, as well as the commitment to open-source.
