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

did you install the driver?

check this page and download the driver

https://docs.m5stack.com/en/unit/unitv2

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.

[koenvervloesem]

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.
