Anafi AI as a USB Wi-fi adapter

[ClementLeBihan]

Hi,

I’m trying to use Anafi AI as Wi-Fi adapter, so I followed the easy tutorial on Parrot Drone as a USB Wi-fi adapter.

As soon as I run sphinx-drone-as-wifidongle --model=anafi_ai on my laptop (with the drone on and USB connected), the front camera do a 180° flip, and the only log I got are :

Any ideas ?

Hello,

What are your firmware and sphinx versions?

[ClementLeBihan]

Hi,

My real Anafi AI has Firmware C.H.A.R.L.E.S 7.1.0 with HW_04 hardware version. Everything seems up to date in firmware versions.
My Sphinx version is 2.6
I use simulated anafi firmware with ftp://XXX:XXX@ftp2.parrot.biz/versions/anafi2/pc/%23latest/images/anafi2-pc.ext2.zip.

After updating sphinx, can you tell us what the command ip a returns after running sphinx-drone-as-wifidongle --model=anafi_ai?

[ClementLeBihan]

Yes for sure.
Here is what ip a returns :

This is due to an issue with firmware version 7.1.0. The next release will have a fix. Sorry for the inconvenience.
