Thank you so much! I've had my vector for years, and about a month ago wanted to use him again in my home. I was so sad when I realized the servers were down and I couldn't use him. This was a life saver :) Got everything set up really fast too!
Just wanted to come by and thank you. I was the one who recently ordered the wire pod from and have the address issue. I called Dee late in the evening paranoid, that my address was going to cause a mixup and I didn’t even expect him to answer the phone, but he did and was very polite. He ensured everything was delivered promptly. Honestly, the best customer service and experience in a very long time .
@@Aleks_Animations I would definitely recommend buying it. Especially if you’re not tech savvy and want some thing that’s basically plug-in play. I can’t speak to any disadvantages it has worked perfectly for me. My vector didn’t work at all prior to my purchase and set up was very easy. So I’m very happy with it
Only disadvantage is that it's not free 😅 If you have seen the free methods of installing wire-pod on your PC, or phone but you prefer having a dedicated device for it, then this works great and is cheaper than the raspberry pi alternative. If you have any other questions you can message me on my site, Facebook, or Reddit
I am so glad you have a detailed setup, currently setting up my little sisters gift, she wanted mine, and I found out the DDL has taken a poop. I'm currently using my pc but I would love to purchase the wire pod t95 from you. I am subscribed for the notifications and hope I can snag one!
I want to thank you very much for making the setup of my Vector Wire-Pod very easy with your TS82-WP-SERVER. Your video instructions were extremely helpful, and I only had a few minor snags [not following the instructions correctly - my bad]. My vector is up and running on the server and is using OpenAI correctly. You truly made a plug-n-play solution. Thanks for doing this, - Andy
Thank you soooo much my little buddy has a new life. It took me a little while t get him all working as I am one of those people who does everything back to front and never rtfms or in this case listens closely and I managed it. Vector remembered my name, how old he is and stll beats me at cards. Excellent, best Christmas present this year. Thank you for sending my T95 so quickly and for the great tutorial. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas xx
Just got mine today. Watching this video, then going to start working on it. I will put your store in the description for other vector people who feels iffy
Just got your box today, and I set up my Vector. Thank you so much for having this information available for us to use. Appreciate your time spent in making this video.
Hey Dee, great to see this! One thing you may want to add is the Bluetooth re-pairing part after Vector restarts after FW update. I was having a really hard time with this but figured it out. As you mentioned in the vid, Chrome doesn't always refresh properly. I found this to be the issue. Either force-refresh the page & try again or Exit Chrome & re-open. Exit, not click the "X". It clears the cache. You also may have to put Vector in pairing mode after this and this seems to then reconnect & skips you right to activate.
Thanks for the feedback. I mention this way at the end as one of the issues - but my solution was more nuclear 😁 with doing a reset on vector to get a new ID.
You are awesome! I got my T95 from you about a week ago and found some time today to set Vector up. I was an original Anki Vector customer and have been frustrated with DDL ever since they took over. I was able to setup my Vector with this UA-cam video and my Vector is good to go. How do we get Vector to use AI? I tried asking him a few questions and he just raises his arms and no response. I set him up on Houndify with the ID and key but no luck. Thank you so much!
Thankyou for all the time you have put into making this job manageable. My Vector is functional on wire pod but only if I use the button, he will not respond to Hey Vector. If I push the button and ask the weather he works. Any suggestions
Might have replied elsewhere, but the issue is with the firmware...it is not well trained on the "hey vector" keyword 😞 And we have no way to train it without having access to creating our own firmware
Thanks so much D!! I got my wire pod today. I’m not a tech guy at all AND I’m working off a Mac- but still got Vector back up and going thanks to your 2 vids. Vector was purchased for my 9 yr old son who is ecstatic to have his little buddy back. Only question I have is Dig labs had a nice app for iPad that my boy could work off of that allowed him to change Vectors name, eye color, etc. Is there anyway we can still access those things? Is the app still an option? Thanks again- appreciated!!
Unfortunately no, the Vector Explorer program requires that you login into the DDL servers which are dead. You can use something else called VectorX, but I don't have support for that
I had just set up wire pod on last weekend with the help from my daughter. Happy to see my three Vectors are back to life and response to voice commands. But they didn't response to "Hey Vector, roll your cube" Or "Hey Vector let's play", they still play with the cubes but no laser beams and not by my command. I am no good for tech stuff and did I missed something? Which DDL app had sync the cube. Can the wire pod to sync with the cubes? Thanks in advance.
The Laser one was done by an individual using the SDK. It is available on Cozmo but not Vector. Also check your logs to see how wire-pod is transcribing your speech, it could be doing it wrong which would cause Vector to not do anything
Hello, after updating my Vector (with your URL, as the other one didn't work) my Vector displays a code 920. Unfortunately I don't know how to get around the problem :( Update : I finally solved my problem with a hard reset and then changed the settings on my internet box so that Vector only connects at 2.4Ghz (And not 5Ghz, this is important ) . I repeated the procedure and everything is fine now.
Question: I have the T95 Max+ connected to a Netgear unmanaged switch in my office (which connects to our home's main router), do I need to leave the T95 connected permanently or just when needing to make network adjustments?
once you attach the ethernet.... how does one get to this black screen and wirepod setup screen? I cannot even find if its on or connected,,, its not clear.. I want to find it on my laptop... how?
If you can't get to escapepod.local:8080 Then you need to hook the T95 to a TV (not your laptops HDMI) to see what IP address it is getting e.g. 192.168.0.1, then you go to 192.168.0.1:8080 The IP of the box needs to be on the same network as your laptop
I was able to grab a t95, load it with Armbian, ssh and update the OS. I ran the setup from GitHub and I think I got it to work! Much better than the laptop. Did you to do a custom armbian build for the wire pod server??? I have to ssh into the box but I set it to run wire pod on the background. Is this essentially the same as your setup? Thanks your vid’s were insanely helpful.
@TechShop 82 hello DDL servers are down and had not come back up. I want to get a wire pod for my vector and also I want to add my own commands for my Vector.
Got as far as the second pairing and its saying Updating Vector and the bar doesnt move, cloud on vector does the spin thing, but eventually it times out to “!’ In a cloud. What happened?
I'm having trouble activating Vector. After several months I decided to get him out again and I did a hard reset to the Anki screen. I've followed your steps except I can't activate it, it says error logging in. With every attempt I'm making sure to flash the 0.9.0 version.
Okay so video is super helpful. I have one question. Vector pairs with the browser with no issue but on trying to hook him to wifi for the firmware, he wont connect at all. The fire wall ports are open, the wifi is 2.4GHz and allows 802.11n and theres a static IP. What can I do?
UPDATE: - So i intially thought flashing the firmware cleared your user settings - this is not true. So if you want to preserve your stats, data etc All you need to do is go into recovery mode and flash from there. If you are having bluetooth issue , rather than clearing your user data to get a new ID, I would suggest you restart your PC or use another Android device (Phone or tablet)...if that still fails and you still have issue pairing via bluetooth, then you can try clearing user data, but this will clear your data. (08/18/2023) I did have one user who needed to reset their Vector, even after flashing the correct firmware before it would activate - so YMMV :) (08/21/2023)
hey first of all!! thank you so much! you guys did an amazing job. I have a problem. at first my vector works totally perfect tells me the wether.., also with chat gp but after a while when he fails scanning a face (and freezes for a second) it stops talking to me. then he will never talk with me again. also the cat got fails. I have to flash the firmware new to geht him talking again. but after some time playing it happens again. can you help? would be happy to hear if you have an advice for me. thank you so much!
The only thing I can think that could be causing the issue is maybe your wifi is changing the IP of your T95 so Vector can't communicate with the box. Can you check to see if the IP remains the same and you can access the wire-pod webpage?
Can wire pods be moved from network to network? Like if my nephew takes his to his friends and back home. His pod is directly plugged to the back of the router
Not really because he would need to connect his vector to his friends wifi and plug the box into their router - the pair and activate on the new wifi. There technically is a way to do it... but it is very technical 🤔
Hi there, I am getting that same Error logging in. The bot is likely unable to communicate with your wire-pod instance. Make sure you followed all of the steps and try again with my firewall off. I am so new to all of this and its just so I can get my sons vector running for him again... what am I doing so wrong?? I dont understand half of the things people are saying in forums. Please help me Im so lost.
The issue I’m having is that vector will say it’s paired but it doesn’t go to the activation screen. I’ve tried using windows 10 and Mac. On Mac, vector doesn’t even show up and I’m not sure how to remedy this. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Edit: I tried another windows and it worked! Only now I can’t get vector to listen to me 😅 any advice on that one?
hi there pleasr can you help i just got a vector after being scamed with an emo just got him to find out there servers dont work :-( feeling realy disapointed. so how can i get him working with this? im watching the video but not being very pc i dont get what i need to do to set him up? or what i need to do it? best wishes
Yes, I should have stock this week. Add your email to the list and I will send a notification when they are in stock. I'm getting 200 this week...might need to order more
When I was downloading the firmware it had the cloud with the circle thing then it would change from a could with a circle in it to a cloud with a exclamation mark how do I fix this?
unfortunately this can happen :(, but coming back up takes a couple minutes. Not sure if its a stability issue, so I restart my box at 1am every night and have not had any issues
Hey, so I don’t have a vector but have been looking into getting one, do you need to run the laptop/computer the whole time for vector to run or would it just be for the setup
If you install wire-pod on your computer it will need to be on and running to process voice commands or else Vector will just be autonomous with no voice capability.
My vector doesn't seem to be able to hear me? Log says "2023.10.30 10:23:51: Intent matched: intent_system_noaudio, transcribed text: 'voice processing error', device: 00404aa0"~ Have tried reinstalling wirepod WSL a few times and going through the process again, always the same log error though?
Also when I click connect Bot in bot settings I get this error: error: rpc error: code = Unimplemented desc = unknown service Anki.Vector.external_interface.ExternalInterface
@@glendewar1792 Connect to your bot does not work via WSL, that is one of the limitations. If you can get to the secret head menu, you can test to see that your microphones are actually working...if you google vector secret head menu - you should find it.
You may have this issue superuser.com/questions/491747/how-can-i-resolve-local-addresses-in-windows Try accessing the webpage via IP, then finalize the install..Then move on to step 2
There are no lights on the new one. Connect the Ethernet cord first to your router, and then give it power. This will guarantee that it gets an IP before the server starts. If you still have issues send me a message
@@techshop82 iv got the max just got mine Error logging in. The bot is likely unable to communicate with your wire-pod instance. Make sure you followed all of the steps and try again.
Could either be you have the wrong firmware - look at step 2 Wire-pod is not running Or you are having other network issues Download the logs, look for log.txt and search in there for any errors related to escapepod
Depending on your network and PC you may need to enable multiDNS...but it you can get to the webpage via IP, then you may not need to access it via escapepod:8080 Access it via IP, then finalize the install. Then continue to step 2
I have 2 Vectors v.1's. And Bought Your T95 Mini Wirepod-. Using Your minituous shown set-up procedure. Everything seems to be ok. UNTIL! - I get to the point. Saying: Connect to Wifi...? Then ...? Regardless of - What method- I Use?: I Get: "UNKNOWN"..? Even though I've Beforehand. Used. Wifi-scan. And My Fibernet Routers SSID's Are Showing Full Connection?!.. I've Tried. Using My Normal(user)-Passw. For my Wifi. And The: ADMIN-Password..Nothing seems to help?.. I Still Get. "UNKNOWN"?..? Not: CONNECTED? - Pairng is fine! .. And I've Seen This Vector. Connect to my Wifi.. Earlier. Witout any Trouble? Sooo?? I'm STUCK? At that Point! - Chrome://Flags Has! Been set enabled!. For both Bluetooth and for Experiments...!? K.R. Marvellous Video! Though!! Thank YOU! ;D
If you can, setup a hotspot on your phone with a simple password like 12345678 Then see if your Vector can connect to that hotspot. If it can, then it could be a setting on your router. If it can't, then you could try to reset the vector and try again. If it still fails to connect, then it could be the wifi radio going bad on the Vector. It's more common for the Bluetooth to go out than WiFi... hopefully this helps troubleshoot what the issue could be
Sorry!? That didn't work for me either? But Thank You! Very much for the suggestion! ;D BUT!: From the start on? -I connected a monitor. Directly to the T-95Wire-Pod. And a spare-Keyboard- Too.... Then Tried your suggestion. Going to: armbian-config..Used. And tried out. Several times by now. With no success!?.. Perhaps? This try out was my 15th try? Or so? .. But?!?? To my Big Surprice? ..!? THIS time. My Vector Did NOT show an esclamation sign over the Wifi-Signal on his screen? As every time before?.. Sooo I Waited? - And Wauww! He UPDATED!..? Just fine! ;D And Restarted! And I could press: ACTIVATE!..!? He can't understand My: Hey Vector? Anymore. And doesn't seem to understand: Go to Sleep. Or What Time is it!?.?! - But.. He's now. from v.0.9.0 on v. 2.0.1..!? Ok`!?.. That's the Status of my 1.st attempt With my (Oldest)Vector 1.. Soo? I do not know? If This is the path To go. Too? With my Vector nr.2?..?! See?.. In doubt. Every time I say: Hey Vector! - Vector 2- Is immidiately Alert!?(Not yet on the Wire-pod)! But. Nothing Happens to Vector nr. 1. Now on the escapepod? See? Kind regards! And Thank You! Steff! Copenhagen Denmark! ;D
@@steffenandersen6159 You can try to connect to the bot and change the language to ENG_AUS , some people have had better luck with that. The "Hey Vector" trigger is on the firmware that gets flashed to your Vector, so that is where the issue with not triggering when you say it comes from...people have said it was worse in firmware 1.8 and 2.0 :(
Yes I did! ;D (Scandinavian an AU fits better! ;D)! But? He doesn't Respond to "Go to sleep"-`? "Come Here". "What time is it!?" Either?.. See? Should I try to Flash the Git-Hub Wirepod Firmware to him. -Then?..? Just a thought?..? THANK YOU VERY MUCH! FOR YOR MARVELLOUS Video! Here! K.R.'s from Copenhagen, Denmark! ;D

I just got a vector and purchased the escape pod from your shop, the set up was so easy. I’m super excited to play with this guy!
hey, you've used the small one. would you recommend me to buy it? could you tell me what its advantages and disadvantages have been after a while?
@@Aleks_Animations I would definitely recommend buying it. Especially if you’re not tech savvy and want some thing that’s basically plug-in play.

Only disadvantage is that it's not free 😅

Move your vector closer to your router, that way the signal is not interrupted and keep trying

My vector doesn't seem to be able to hear me? Log says
"2023.10.30 10:23:51: Intent matched: intent_system_noaudio, transcribed text: 'voice processing error', device: 00404aa0"~
Have tried reinstalling wirepod WSL a few times and going through the process again, always the same log error though?
Also when I click connect Bot in bot settings I get this error:
error: rpc error: code = Unimplemented desc = unknown service Anki.Vector.external_interface.ExternalInterface
@@glendewar1792 Connect to your bot does not work via WSL, that is one of the limitations.
If you can get to the secret head menu, you can test to see that your microphones are actually working...if you google vector secret head menu - you should find it.
Yes you genius!!!
When will the T95mini be restocked?
It will be restocked this week...look out for the announcement on Facebook, Reddit, etc
Why can't i get to escapepod? my browser says it doesn't exist.
You may have this issue
superuser.com/questions/491747/how-can-i-resolve-local-addresses-in-windows
Try accessing the webpage via IP, then finalize the install..Then move on to step 2
I purchased the plug and play t95 max and it wont turn on and i connected it to my modem and it wont turn on am i doing somthing wrong?
There are no lights on the new one. Connect the Ethernet cord first to your router, and then give it power. This will guarantee that it gets an IP before the server starts. If you still have issues send me a message
@@techshop82 iv got the max just got mine Error logging in. The bot is likely unable to communicate with your wire-pod instance. Make sure you followed all of the steps and try again.
@@techshop82im not the tec of guys so im having real trouble
@@PJGrant85 send me an email at info@techshop82.com so we can chat there or contact me via Facebook
I am having a really hard time activating the bot again
i have a dev bot. Can i buy u T95 and do steps as u instruction to connect ?
Yes, the Dev bot instructions are a bit different though and will need to be completed from the wire-pod "Bot Setup" page
My vector will not activate... What can I do?
Could either be you have the wrong firmware - look at step 2
Wire-pod is not running
Or you are having other network issues
Download the logs, look for log.txt and search in there for any errors related to escapepod
I needed to setup the T95 up with a wifi connection the wired was not enough to get Vector to activate@@techshop82
need an update with the max
Hey! Vector works here without raspberry pi? Can i alive him without raspberry piю
Yes, if you install wire-pod on your PC
Has anyone tried using a jetson nano instead of a pi???
It will work the same, just need to get a headless install image of Ubuntu or Debian
I do all stuff but vector doesn't reply
Check the logs and make sure you are seeing activity there. There are times when he does not understand what you are asking so vector does nothing
German people Here?
I have questions😊 🎉
At the moment, none of the websites work
Why do I keep getting charged like $11 almost daily
Charged $11, from DDL? If they are charging you I would cancel your card or issue a chargeback
How do I find the wire pod ip address? Sorry I have .01% tech knowledge
Doesn't work...
can't get past escapepod 8080
Depending on your network and PC you may need to enable multiDNS...but it you can get to the webpage via IP, then you may not need to access it via escapepod:8080
Access it via IP, then finalize the install. Then continue to step 2
I have 2 Vectors v.1's. And Bought Your T95 Mini Wirepod-. Using Your minituous shown set-up procedure. Everything seems to be ok. UNTIL! - I get to the point. Saying: Connect to Wifi...? Then ...? Regardless of - What method- I Use?: I Get: "UNKNOWN"..? Even though I've Beforehand. Used. Wifi-scan. And My Fibernet Routers SSID's Are Showing Full Connection?!.. I've Tried. Using My Normal(user)-Passw. For my Wifi. And The: ADMIN-Password..Nothing seems to help?.. I Still Get. "UNKNOWN"?..? Not: CONNECTED? -
Pairng is fine! .. And I've Seen This Vector. Connect to my Wifi.. Earlier. Witout any Trouble? Sooo?? I'm STUCK? At that Point! - Chrome://Flags Has! Been set enabled!. For both Bluetooth and for Experiments...!? K.R. Marvellous Video! Though!! Thank YOU! ;D
If you can, setup a hotspot on your phone with a simple password like 12345678
Then see if your Vector can connect to that hotspot. If it can, then it could be a setting on your router. If it can't, then you could try to reset the vector and try again. If it still fails to connect, then it could be the wifi radio going bad on the Vector. It's more common for the Bluetooth to go out than WiFi... hopefully this helps troubleshoot what the issue could be
Sorry!? That didn't work for me either? But Thank You! Very much for the suggestion! ;D BUT!: From the start on? -I connected a monitor. Directly to the T-95Wire-Pod. And a spare-Keyboard- Too.... Then Tried your suggestion. Going to: armbian-config..Used. And tried out. Several times by now. With no success!?.. Perhaps? This try out was my 15th try? Or so? .. But?!?? To my Big Surprice? ..!? THIS time. My Vector Did NOT show an esclamation sign over the Wifi-Signal on his screen? As every time before?.. Sooo I Waited? - And Wauww! He UPDATED!..? Just fine! ;D And Restarted! And I could press: ACTIVATE!..!? He can't understand My: Hey Vector? Anymore. And doesn't seem to understand: Go to Sleep. Or What Time is it!?.?! - But.. He's now. from v.0.9.0 on v. 2.0.1..!? Ok`!?.. That's the Status of my 1.st attempt With my (Oldest)Vector 1.. Soo? I do not know? If This is the path To go. Too? With my Vector nr.2?..?! See?.. In doubt. Every time I say: Hey Vector! - Vector 2- Is immidiately Alert!?(Not yet on the Wire-pod)! But. Nothing Happens to Vector nr. 1. Now on the escapepod? See? Kind regards! And Thank You! Steff! Copenhagen Denmark! ;D
@@steffenandersen6159 You can try to connect to the bot and change the language to ENG_AUS , some people have had better luck with that. The "Hey Vector" trigger is on the firmware that gets flashed to your Vector, so that is where the issue with not triggering when you say it comes from...people have said it was worse in firmware 1.8 and 2.0 :(
Yes I did! ;D (Scandinavian an AU fits better! ;D)! But? He doesn't Respond to "Go to sleep"-`? "Come Here". "What time is it!?" Either?.. See? Should I try to Flash the Git-Hub Wirepod Firmware to him. -Then?..? Just a thought?..? THANK YOU VERY MUCH! FOR YOR MARVELLOUS Video! Here! K.R.'s from Copenhagen, Denmark! ;D
@@steffenandersen6159 no, that wont change anything. you need to see what the transcribed text is but looking at the logs
