Broken Parts
-
@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.

@Bright-Nnadi In a terminal, run
dmesg -wH, then power your VOXL CAM and plug in USB to your machine, do you see any output in dmesg showing that the hardware is detected at all? If so, post it here and I can see what's going on. -
@tom This is what I'm seeing

@Bright-Nnadi I can provide support in this case if you're running Ubuntu natively. Looks like you are using WSL on Windows.
If you have a spare computer that you can actually load Ubuntu on by following something like this: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop#1-overview then I can help you out once you've done that but we don't use ADB over WSL.
It's possible someone else on the forum has done it but we do not.
Are you attempting to use the same VOXL CAM that we have already issued you an RMA for? If so I wouldn't keep trying to get it to work and I would send it in so we can fix it for you.

Came over here from the other thread you tagged me in. I'm not a member of the ModalAI team, but I'll try my best.
It looks like you are using WSL for your Ubuntu VM. I have tried this previously with USB passthrough and at the time it actually was not supported by WSL/WSL2. VirtualBox or another VM solution would likely have much better support for USB passthrough. Even with that, as @tom said you are likely to encounter troubles in a VM. https://stackoverflow.com/a/61089833 Has an example that might help you.
I would confirm first that the device even shows up in Windows with ADB. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools Download platform tools and try running
adb listIf you want to keep trying, https://www.xda-developers.com/wsl-connect-usb-devices-windows-11/ might be a good article to read through on getting USB devices to show up in your WSL VM.

@tom Great, yeah I was using that VOXL CAM but I just mailed to y'all today but I'm hoping one gets to me on time, because I am supposed to be using it for a project. I will load the Ubuntu desktop on another device when I am done.

@Steve-Turner Thanks Steve, i'm sorry I thought you were a member but I will look into this and let you know how it goes.

@tom Hey tom, so i received my new VOXL-CAM and i Ubuntu ready too. I am trying to configure ROS on VOXL but I am getting some errors there.

@Bright-Nnadi Please open a new forum thread with a description of your issue. Our team will get better eyes on it that way

@tom thanks
