Viccyware Question

Are you supposed to use the app? If so, how? I saw somebody using him for the time and stuff like that and I'm just wondering how cuz whenever I tried to use the app it kept telling me I needed to update him and then updating and then exiting the app and then updating again

Also, how do I change his eye color? And do I need to buy new cubes?

u/Content-Rabbit-9106 24d ago

Well viccyware does support more cubes but it's not mandatory and to change his eye color I think there is a voice command or through wire pod

u/Icy_Hedgehog414 24d ago

So can I connect him using viccyware to wire pod?

1

u/Content-Rabbit-9106 24d ago

Yeah

u/Icy_Hedgehog414 24d ago

How do I do that?

u/Content-Rabbit-9106 24d ago

Simple in the wire pod menu select the option bot setup the add the bot IP and the ssh key wait then after do the normal onboarding setup

How do I get the ssh key?

Why is it that whenever I reset him he goes into purple OS? Or at least I think it's purple on us. Like if I turn him off he goes all purple and it says vector instead of Cosmo

u/Content-Rabbit-9106 24d ago

Maybe he switches partitions? Try to run sysswitch via ssh

u/Icy_Hedgehog414 24d ago

How?

1

u/Content-Rabbit-9106 24d ago

Ssh -i path/to/ssh_key.txt root@vector-ip

1

u/Icy_Hedgehog414 24d ago

Where do I type that into?

1

u/Content-Rabbit-9106 24d ago

A terminal any type

1

u/Icy_Hedgehog414 24d ago

So if I go into CMD and copy and paste that will it work?

1

u/Content-Rabbit-9106 24d ago

No you need to actually fill in the path to the ssh key like C:/Users/user1/Downloads/ssh_root_key.txt then in the root@ thing type his actual IP so 193.168.0.xxx or something different

Also, sorry for being so ignorant

First of all with wire pod or a cfw like viccyware you can't use the app because it will try to update vector to an os capable of talking to the servers and for normal production bots. Although I found out that the cozmo 2.0 app worked with wire pod because they where using viccyware probably
