Hey Ive just got the RAE and it doesnt log in to wifi well at all. It took several attempts to get the initial login/signup working, even with the device right next to the wifi router (about 30cm away) - everything else in the house gets the wifi ok (all other connected devices apart from this computer were off while attempting setup). Now it is logged in ok but the updates dont appear to work properly. The loading seems to progress but when it looks to be finished it just hangs and a message "Upgrade is taking longer than usual" appears on the screen. Its in the screenshot below: Also, live mode doesnt work, it just displays "Waiting for a stream" and then hangs. Again with the rae right next to the router and everything else off. Is there something Im missing here? Is there an option to do the updates over USB?

https://luxonisos.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/index.html?prefix=release/ try this firmware and mender - install <xxx.mender>; reboot

So far, this thing has been pretty buggy - I cannot get it to connect to the wifi, it is just showing 'rae' on the screen. I attempted to reset it and nothing seems to be working. I can no longer SSH to the device telling me the ECDSA key has changed.

A suggestion provided at the bottom of this post … https://discuss.luxonis.com/d/2188-its-still-on-screen-like-rae/2 Also for ssh , you can edit files like $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts to remove conflicting or changed keys

HI all, could you try the latest demo app? I believe it has fixed a bunch of issues, and shouldn't be buggy now..

Tried the new apps and they do not work either. I constantly receive a message that says apps not built. On the 1.12 FW so it seems to be the newest one according to the link. Lemme know if there's anything I need to post.

Still the same experience, not connecting through the RobotHub. I will try the SSH route later this evening, but this is a really disappointing experience. To back a product and it be not much more than a $500 paperweight and no real support or help sucks.

Hi. I've been having trouble from the beginning. Started when the fw update causing it to only show rae on display and not connect. I kept asking for fw files from support but he kept giving directions to use qr. He would not accept it was not working. Thank you for the one who posted fw link. It's sorta working now with v1.12. Now my concern is at idle it is getting really hot. Is anyone else experiencing this?

RAE Updates over WIFI fail / poor wifi operation

TomMunnecke hold a pin to the reset button -underside of rae next to the power button. Hold for 10 seconds. Maybe a little more. A hard reset [not factory] is an 8 sec hold on the power button

OK, I did the factory reset, scanned the QR code, and got this log trying to start the default app.

TomMunnecke uninstall the default app, then reinstall it. it should work the 2nd time. clicking "default app" should take you to a new window where you can start/stop/uninstall it, below that you can "open front end" or something and that will pop up a web interface that allows you to move it and view forward or backwards.

TomMunnecke

ral by the way, when I went back to try the factory reset again with one of my wife's sewing pins (the reset is very tiny and deep, and none of my other gadgets worked, including a Sim card opener pin), I couldn't find the reset position the second time.. I'm worried that I damaged the reset mechanism the first time I used it. It seems to be very fragile, and I don't really have a way of knowing if I found the reset position or not. I don't sense any click feel.

Is there a way of opening the case to see the reset switch mechanism?

TomMunnecke

I did that, got this:

I had the same issue. It's too deep and possibly not even square with the hoke. I had to gently prod around until I felt it click. But its very subtle. I doubt you damaged it. I was pushing pretty hard, I'm an oaf and have factory reset it at least 6 times haha. Try uninstall and reinstall again. Sometimes I has to hit start on the app to get it to go.

J--

Yeah it was definitely not easy to get to the reset. I used an unwound paperclip. I don't want to embarrassed myself with how many trys it took me lol

TomMunnecke

well at least I found a paperclip that worked a bit better. did another factory reset, and got a little further - a least "local front end" came up with a control screen for colors on the rae for a while, but with "waiting for a stream" to do anything. I tried uninstall/reinstall and lost even that screen. I'm getting an error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'robothub_core'"

I'm currently trying to get firmware v1.9 to stick. Mine came with 1.2. I saw it update in the etc OS file but it didn't stick through a reboot..

edit: I'm an idiot, 1.12 came AFTER 1.9 =p

I'm stuck on mender missing devictype file, and if I bullshit that there's a missing fwenv.config file.

This is a good thread for new starters … so they know the current status … thanks guys for the thread … be good to change the subject line to "Newbees: Read this first". I can confirm nothing has changed as of 13th Oct 23 after spending 4 hrs exploring.

I can confirm "RAE - Default app v1.1.1" works and you can drive Rae around.
I'm running FW:1.13

My next adventure will be with ROS … hopefully something will work here:
