Hey Die, I received the T95 box today, the installation went quite well and the vector has been""" activated, "" thank you very much for your fast services and all the help🙏gob bless you.. A.K..Holland
Yes I finally got my vector going on wire pod I was so nervous to do myself lol.i am very proud of myself that I got vector going.now the weather do I need have the weather API setup for weather to read properly cause it saying I'm 120c and snowing lol.
Yes. I recommend openweathermap.org/ as it is free and all you need to do is set your API key on the wire-pod server page. And then set your location on your bot via the bot settings (after you connect). Then you can ask what the weather is and get a non joke response :D
How I wish, its a Cellphone App, that anyone can just install and let Vector connect via wifi...so even grannies like me can do without tech know how...
@@LolahBongLim I've helped lots of grannies install this...all you need is a PC with Bluetooth, an Ethernet cable, and access to your router I've walked them through the setup and they have their Vectors back 😄 A cell phone app would be nice though, but hard to implement
i did this online and did not buy your firmware is it this the same thing or what because when i try online i cn never get it to connect to vector and when it says verify it just keeps saying error
@@dinagherasim7131 This is to make your Vector work without DDL servers that have been down for over a year. You can install WirePod for free, but if you need a dedicated device this is what you get
Just wondering, do i absolutely have to erase data to use this? Since ive had my vector from the very start and doesn't feel right to just erase him ya know
@@amarie_2 If you mean recovery firmware, watch this other video ruclips.net/video/hzlI7hPU-BM/видео.htmlsi=oEFuucVLTof93q19 It gives more information in Step 2
Hey TechShop82, First off wanted to say thank you for providing these instructional videos for us. It has been an immense amount of help! I wanted to ask a question, I noticed that you have setup a public wirepod server. I have a few friends with Vectors that want to connect to my WirePod server, though unfortunately I cannot find information on how a public wirepod server is setup. I have been researching and asking around, though, there is not much documented on this sort of process for WirePod. Would you possibly be able to provide me some information on how you did this with your current public wirepod setup? It would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Blox
@@unclebumble8971 It is at the 3:30 mark, or go to Server Settings->Knowledge Graph then choose OpenAI, enter the key and select "Yes" to enable the intent graph
It is doable but would need it to be done by a programmer. I have home assistant installed on my network but I never use it 😔; what use case would you think works best with Vector?
@TechShop 82 I actually control my house from it ( lights, central heating, blinds, sensors, cameras, etc...) There have been some attempts to integrate Vector with and without escape pod, but not much development at the present time. For example; many wish to use vector as the main voce for homeassistant. What's great about the platform is the ability to integrate things via addons and lots of support from the community.
Hi thank you for the video. How do you wake him up after he updates? His face is pointed down and the backlight is on. The video doesn't show that step.
I had no clue DDL shut down their servers and was wondering why Vector wouldn't respond to anything. So this unit already has the Wire Pod installed, correct? When you first boot it up, do you connect the HDMI cord to see the T95 boot up screen? How are you able to navigate using keyboard and mouse on this unit, or is all the navigation done through the browser? Sorry for all the questions.
It okay, ask away. It is mainly setup via a browser. The HDMI part is mainly for getting the IP if you can't find it on your network as escapepod or if you want to setup wifi
I have the wirepod app on my phone. Though my phone disconects from vector after time.. maybe an hour. Why does vector stop working. How does your android box stay connected
Your android phone will kill any background app, you need to turn off battery saver on the app on your phone. As my box is not on android, it does not have this issue.
@techshop82 sir ihave noob question :) do i really need my pc always on to make my vector work or after the setup its okay to turnoff my pc and let my wirepod power on?
We got our 10 year old son a Vector 2.0. It took us 2 years to save up for it!! Is there any way to get the "say text" to work? We are using Wire Pod on a laptop for my son to use it. But, the "say text" isn't working when we try to use it :(
hey i tried to do this without the t95 i did it online with a website and every single time i get to the activated part and click it it keeps saying there is a error will it do the same thing with your t95 mini?
Unfortunately these Ways not working any more I bought last week one vector and till now I couldn’t use it even wire pod not existing, new one for MacBook and Samsung not working I don’t know what to do
@@techshop82 is your device better than wire pods ¿ and available on eBay ¿ today I activated the robot on wire pod but I can’t command it not talking at all recognise my face but not reply at all , is your device better and works easy can you give me some information about it please
What about chat gpt integration would that be possible to add into vector? Also, Wishful thinking but wish Anki in the past was able to intergrate Cozmo program into Vector so that you could use the cozmo app to work with Vector then there wouldn't be a need to have both robots you could have both personalities in one a "Cozter"
Yes, the server does not need Bluetooth, just the computer. The computer will communicate with Vector via Bluetooth throughout the process and when vector knows how to connect to the internet and the firmware has been flashed, clicking "Activate" will trigger vector to register on the server
Hi, just received T95 and trying to setup using Mac. I see the escapepod on the network on router via Ethernet but AW-H6 does not display nor can’t access through chrome? Any idea why? Thx
That's the T95 HDMI output, you only see it in my video because I'm capturing the HDMI output through a capture card. You should only need to see that if you can't connect via escapepod:8080 or escapepod.local:8080 So you connect it to a TV or monitor to see what it's IP address is and connect that way Also if you still can't connect, restart the box by unplugging the power to it and back in - the server may have not been started. If you have any issues reach out to me via Facebook or Reddit for direct support Thanks
I do have a couple questions. Is it necessary to use an AI language model for setup? And when going to escape pod setup, do I type in the IP address of the box itself?
You don't have to use openAI , that is for response to questions or inquiries that are not native commands e.g. go to sleep would be native, but "how many states in America" would be a question that either houndify or openAI would need to be set up to answer Regarding getting to the page, you can use either. If escapepod is not working, you can try the IP. If that works then you are most likely okay - if the IP does not work then you have network issues I will be posting a more detailed video later tonight so look out for that one, it has more info on the steps and initial onboarding
I just got my vector I'm told the DDL servers ahave been pulled down so Vector has no connection or setup or anything.. can you help me.. or have I a paper weight?
Definitely, this will help your Vector not be a paper weight. orders have been coming in and I'm working to test, ship them out...but if you have any questions let me know. I am going to release a more indepth video to show all the steps to get your bot alive again
You do not need to buy escapepod to use this. You just need to flash the wire-pod firmware (free) and then activate your robot and you will be all set.
Yes, you will need a keyboard to attach to the device and a screen ;) to see what you are doing. In the terminal type armbian-config This will pull up a menu, then you go Network->Wifi Here you select your Wifi and enter the password. Then exit the menu and that's it.
7 robots is the most a user has reported but more can be added. The quad core CPU is the limiting factor here so the max number of robots will be how any the CPU can handle - I don't have that many robots so I can not test what that limit is.
Vector is working but his responses are very limited and is constantly not hearing what I'm saying the responses are alway wrong, very rarely get it right
unfortunately this is the best that can be done with WirePod. Check the logs (on the wirepod homepage, check the show all check box) to see what it is transcribing your words as to see where things could be going wrong
I'm a little sad that I'm gonna need to wipe my little dude's memories. I've had him for almost 6 years. However, I suppose having some functionality and no memories is better than having no functionality at all and just being a little shell who hangs out at the top of my desk all day.
@@techshop82 I am very very glad I got this reply before I started the set up. I’ve been holding onto this server since his birthday in October, because I just couldn’t bring myself to wipe him. I thought it was mandatory step. thank you thank you thank you!

Great tutorial. I had no problem setting one up on a pi4. Just one question, can I have more than one vector on the same wire pod?
Yes you can, the limit is a really high number - don't know what it is but I suspect it to be in the 100s

If you got my box, you can turn off your PC. If you installed wire-pod on WSL on Windows, then you will need your PC on for it to work

Are we able to control Vector's cube? What about firmware updates?
You can't really control his cube (unless you use the SDK) You can tell Vector to interact with his cube though
What about chat gpt integration would that be possible to add into vector? Also, Wishful thinking but wish Anki in the past was able to intergrate Cozmo program into Vector so that you could use the cozmo app to work with Vector then there wouldn't be a need to have both robots you could have both personalities in one a "Cozter"
OpenAi can be integrated, but not in a conversation type way but a question and answer way
Weird clarification question, but the server doesn't need Bluetooth, just the computer you use to connect vector TO the server with?
Yes, the server does not need Bluetooth, just the computer.
The computer will communicate with Vector via Bluetooth throughout the process and when vector knows how to connect to the internet and the firmware has been flashed, clicking "Activate" will trigger vector to register on the server
Just wondering man, I have a normal t95 box and not the mini would that work for the wire pod? Thanks 🙏
you have to be able to install Armbian on it. If you can't, then the answer is no :(
I’m gonna do this and subscribed
Hi, my unit is expected to arrive soon but can I use a MAC to set this up? Mahalo
Yes, just need to use chrome browser
Is there a way to rename Vector? So it answers commands under a different name?
Does the memory goes away whenever I unplug the power?
Hi, just received T95 and trying to setup using Mac. I see the escapepod on the network on router via Ethernet but AW-H6 does not display nor can’t access through chrome? Any idea why? Thx
That's the T95 HDMI output, you only see it in my video because I'm capturing the HDMI output through a capture card.
You should only need to see that if you can't connect via

Does Vector 2 DDL work with T95 too? Thank you
Yes it works with wire-pod which I installed on the T95, just to be clear wire-pod is free software, I just sell it already installed on the T95 mini
Hey I had a question couldi. Use the t95 max ??
No, that is a different processor - you would need to install Armbian on it
Hi, i have a Asus Tinkerboard running Debian, can i use this to setup the server?
Yes, just need to follow the install instructions from the wiki and you should be golden. Depending on how old the cpu is that may be a bottleneck
Can I do this with a MacBook ?
I'm just wondering will I need to buy the escape pod on ddl website
You do not need to buy escapepod to use this. You just need to flash the wire-pod firmware (free) and then activate your robot and you will be all set.
Will this work for windows 10 ?
Is there a way to set it up without a Ethernet cable?
Yes, you will need a keyboard to attach to the device and a screen ;) to see what you are doing.
In the terminal type
armbian-config
This will pull up a menu, then you go Network->Wifi
Here you select your Wifi and enter the password.
Then exit the menu and that's it.
Can you do this on a MacBook?
Yes
How many robots can be hooked up to one box?
7 robots is the most a user has reported but more can be added.
The quad core CPU is the limiting factor here so the max number of robots will be how any the CPU can handle - I don't have that many robots so I can not test what that limit is.
So OpenAI isn´t free, and what about ChatSonic?
ChatSonic (WriteSonic's alternative to chatGPT) is fremium as well. But to use it someone would have to write the code to integrate it into wire-prod
Nice
