I’m trying to setup wifi board using the mjpeg\_streamer\_1.py program.

Appears to connect fine, but then I immediately get a ‘-6’ error. What is that error?

MicroPython v1.8-4345-g3a2670b on 2016-11-03; OPENMV2 with STM32F427  
Type “help()” for more information.

Hi, that was an error with an old firmware version and such. Please update the IDE and your firmware version. In particular, you need to change a line in the streamer script.

That was it! Thank you for the quick response.

Will the M7 improve the fps? I’m only getting about 2.5fps when I go QVGA/RGB565.

Somewhat. But, you should be able to get a lot higher than 2.5 FPS with the M4. So… this means the WiFi is just a bottleneck. Not sure how to test what the problem is.
