Unit V2 Connection

ianlyonthomas

Hi, I have just received M5Stack Unit V2 AI camera and, when I connect to laptop, the fan runs but no connection available.

Please advise
Thanks

m5stack

did you install the driver?

check this page and download the driver

Same problem for me as well. I submitted my post regarding the same issue yesterday. Waiting to hear from M5 on debugging / fixing it

@m5stack
I installed the driver and unitv2.py works on browser.,
but I can't find UnitV2's SSID on WiFi (SSID: M5UV2_XXX)
How do I fint it ? I want to use UnitV2 on arduino with UART,
without PC.

I have the same problem with the AP.

PS: There are now 3 threads and no answer :(

hello same problem.. no wifi AP, updated firmware no change...
USB drivers seems not working on my OSX 10.14.6
so its quite useless for now :(

Update: I figured out how to get LAN up and running
removed SR9900Composite.kext SR9900.kext from /Library/Extensions/ and now Lan works (so its working without driver... and with driver its not working)

Hi, the new firmware still doesn't show any APs for me, even if I only connect it to USB-C from the charger. Does it switch to AP mode somewhere?

devros

Same on my machine :( no AP at all....

m5stack

sorry, the firmware seems still to have some bug. we are positioning the issues now.

@m5stack Any update on this? I've been waiting to get my hands on the device due to its wifi capabilities yet unable to get SSID?

Hello, @m5stack any update on the firmware?

What is happening with this its so disapointing months on from preorder i still cant even connect to the unit.

I couldn't even connect over USB and I emailed them about it, they suggested to restart the network interface. At first this didn't seem to work, but I think I just didn't wait long enough. So what now works for me is just bringing the network interface down, bringing it up again and waiting a couple of seconds:

$ sudo ip link set enx00e0993168d7 down
$ sudo ip link set enx00e0993168d7 up
$ ip a show dev enx00e0993168d7
13: enx00e0993168d7: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:e0:99:31:68:d7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.254.239.243/24 brd 10.254.239.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enx00e0993168d7
       valid_lft 42632sec preferred_lft 42632sec
    inet6 fe80::9c4a:2259:c022:588/64 scope link noprefixroute
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

After this, I can access the web interface and ssh on 10.254.239.1 over USB. Wi-Fi doesn't seem to work and I didn't look at it because the USB network is fine for me for now.
