Hello. New Galaxy RVR. Once assembled, managed to get the APP connected to RVR, but camera was not working, so fiddled with codes etc. Now camera still not working, plus I cannot see RVR signal to connect the app anymore. I tried all the instructions and downloads, no way. Is there a simple way to reset all and go back to original setting?
Try using AP mode if you went into the Arduino IDE. That should help, as it lets your Galaxy RVR to create its own hotspot. If not, it may be a hardware issue. If AP mode works, in your device, there should be a new WiFi called Galaxy RVR. Passcode is 12345678. Try connecting to the app after that. Hope this Helps!
Thank but the problem is I don’t know how to make sure I’m on AP mode. Ideally I wanted to reset all back to original setting but I don’t know how to do it. How can I check that I am on AP mode? Thanks
When you look at the code, there is a // text that says AP mode. Change the actual code into what it says under AP mode. The default mode is STA mode, which it should have been on in the beginning.
Oh I thought that following the instructions I was actually uploading the codes… through Arduino IDE 2.0 , practically following the instructions of mode play or the tutorial on how control the rover via app , I did not know I was supposed to change codes…am not so sure I understand what you mean…
You do not have to change the code. It just depends on which one you need. AP mode lets your GalaxyRVR create a hotspot through your local WiFi, while STA mode allows any device to connect to it.
Thanks i willl try. Excuse the dummy question but do I delete from the code the option o don’t want to use? I mean when I upload it o don’t see a way after go choose between STA or AP
https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/galaxy-rvr/en/latest/faq.html#ap-to-sta
AP and STA both connection mode, default is AP mode connection, WiFi password is: 12345678
STA mode connection, you configure a WiFi network for galaxy-rvr, it can be your home WiFi, so you need to modify the code, uncomment the STA mode connection, and comment out the AP mode connection.
And change the SSID and PASSWORD to your home WiFi name and WiFi password.
After the code modification is successful, re-upload galaxy-rvr.ino code are UNO R3, and then go to work with the APP connection.
Remember, your mobile device also needs to be connected to your home WiFi. as it needs to be on the same LAN to connect properly.
Thank you , now the rover works fine but I don’t get any feed from the camera….
All connections are checked … rover functions perfectly , camera simply not feeding any pics …
RvR Shield is the problem.
Is it? In what sense and what is the fix? Thanks
It may have been a problem with our previous library. It has been corrected now. You open the IDE and re-update the SunFounder AI Camera library. (as shown in the picture)
Re-burn the galaxy-rvr.ino code again:
https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/galaxy-rvr/en/latest/faq.html#how-to-upload-the-galaxy-rvr-ino-code
Then try how it works. If it still doesn’t work, please open the serial monitor of Arduino IDE, set the baud rate to 115200, check the print message, and send the print message to us.
Thanks, tried but is not allowing that in the sense that now o get a message that sunfounder camera is already installed ( but I uninstalled. It) . I would like to reset everything and reinstall all … is there a procedure for that? Thanks !
- if you uninstalled the SunFounder AI Camera library, we recommend reinstalling it.
- Follow the tutorial link to upload galaxy-rvr.ino code:
FAQ — SunFounder GalaxyRVR Kit for Arduino 1.0 documentation
After uploading the code successfully, set the switch to “Run” and leave the cable unplugged. Keep it connected to the USB port of your computer, then turn on the IDE’s serial monitor, set the baud rate to 115200, then check the print information and provide us with a screenshot of the print information. If the print information shows the configuration is successful, you can use your cell phone to go to connect galaxy-rvr’s WiFi, and then go to APP to connect the work. - If you can provide us with a video of the problem or operation process, it will be easier for us to help you analyze and solve the problem.
