@Bright-Nnadi Yes, that is the same as what I linked above.

[Bright Nnadi]

@tom Okay thanks Tom

Hey Tom , So i am trying to set up the VOXL CAM now. I have turned it on using the power module and the USB and the LED is solid green but I am not seeing the VOXL wifi.

[tom]

@Bright-Nnadi When you say you aren't seeing the VOXL WiFi, are you saying you want VOXL to be in SoftAP and are trying to connect to it with a computer? Or are you trying to put it in station mode and have it connect to an external network?

[Bright Nnadi]

@tom I am following the VOXL CAM Start guide and it says to connect to the VOXL wifi after powering it on. I am trying to connect it to my computer

[tom]

@Bright-Nnadi Are you using ADB in order to access the VOXL's shell? If so, what is the output of ifconfig ?

[Bright Nnadi]

@tom output

[Bright Nnadi]

Tom right now I'm using the ADB and I want to enable the station mode. what SSID and password Im using for the command line adb shell voxl-wifi station <SSID> <Passowrd>

[tom]

@Bright-Nnadi Apologies I mean running ifconfig in adb shell

You will do the following:

adb shell

voxl-wifi station SSID PASS

where SSID is the name of the WiFi network you want to connect to and PASS is the password of that network.

You'll want to connect to whatever network your ground station is also connected to.

[Bright Nnadi]

@tom For some reason i am not able to get into the adb shell. And I am also using my organization's network which is private.

[Bright Nnadi]

@tom I'm trying to set up ADB now but this is happening

[Bright Nnadi]

@tom @Alex-Gardner I successfully installed adb but i am not still able to detect my VOXL CAM

[Bright Nnadi]

[tom]

@Bright-Nnadi Are you using a Virtual Machine or are you running Ubuntu natively?

[Bright Nnadi]

@tom I am running ubuntu on my windows

[Bright Nnadi]

@tom is it possible we have a remote meeting?

[tom]

@Bright-Nnadi I would recommend running Ubuntu natively on your ground station, this has worked for others who have issues when using a Virtual Machine. USB pass-through is often iffy.

[Bright Nnadi]

@tom but I don’t have a gcs step up yet. I just want to turn out the camera.

[tom]

@Bright-Nnadi I'm confused what you're asking. If you want to do any sort of configuration/setup you'll have to get ADB working, which I would use Ubuntu natively on your machine in order to do that

[Bright Nnadi]

@tom I’m getting confused too. So I’m following y’all’s documentation. I have Ubuntu installed on my laptop natively and I have tried all the AdB commands y’all provided to active ADB but it did not work. If you can please give me a detail ordered steps to follow to have ADB activated then use the station mode to access the VOXL CAM.
