Unlocking Vector


Step 1: Put your Vector into recovery mode by putting him on the charger, and holding his back button for ~15 seconds or until the 2 back lights turn dark blue.

Step 2: Head on over to this site, and pair with Vector. Make sure that auto setup flow is UNCHECKED.

Step 3: Connect Vector to WiFi by typing in "wifi-connect (yourwifiname) (yourwifipassword)". Note that you do not need to add the parentheses. Also note that if your WiFi name has spaces in it, you need to put quotes around the name.

Step 4: Once Vector is connected to WiFi, type in "ota-start http://api.froggitti.net/unlock-prod.ota". He will show a cloud with an arrow spinning on his face.


Installing dev firmware

Once Vector is on the anki.com/dev screen, head on over to this site and pick your firmware of choice. Enjoy!


SSHing into Vector

Step 1: Download this ssh key.

Step 2: Find Vector's IP. You can do this by accessing the CCIS menu once he is connected to WiFi.

Step 3: SSH in! You can do this by running "ssh -i path/to/ssh_root_key root@yourvectorip".
