Hi,
I’m working on the car robot, is there a way to connect robot to the IDE over Wifi (using the Wifi Shield) ?
Hi, this originally was a planned to be implemented but WiFi speed was so bad at 230kb/s that we didn’t do it. However, in the latest firmware release I figured out why that was the case and wifi speed is now 15Mb/s (previous firmware waited on a ACK per TCP packet which is about a 30 ms round-trip time per 1400 bytes). The IDE already has all the hooks in it to make this work, so, I just need to update the OpenMV Cam firmware to get this feature operational again.
So, it’s coming soon. In the mean-time. The interface library we just released (blog post coming soon) can stream wifi video.
The interface library firmware update will be ready by the weekend and will be installed into OpenMV IDE.
Great!!
Do you also plan to release remote serial & code download/execution ?
We will wait patiently

Yes, wifi debugging is the whole USB connected experience but over wifi (minus drive access).
I have other priorities to work on before re-enabling this feature.
Should you be able to connect and run a script from the IDE connecting over WiFi?
As mentioned previously we will get this feature working on a future release. All the infrastructure in the IDE was built last year but the performance was not good enough. It now is.
OK, I just wasn’t sure if “debugging” included all IDE over wifi functionality. I spent a few hours trying to figure out why this wasn’t working for me since I didn’t find anything in Github. I opened this issue so we can follow along for when it is completed.
Thanks!
