Hello,

But I can't see ErleBrain3 wifi in the wifi list,
I couldnt connect it using Wifi connection,

Could you help me please,

Good day @droneX,

Please be patient, as it takes a minute from the moment you power up the brain to the moment the wifi service is started. Alternatively, you could manually refresh the wifi network list executing the next command:

sudo iwlist scan

Just in case, you could try running

systemctl status hostapd

on the brain (either connecting a monitor and a keyboard or connecting it to your local network and connecting through ssh erle@erle-brain.local) to see if the service is running or not.

Thank you your answer,

I waited but still I couldnt see so I tried sudo iwlist scan command and I got this error:

lo Interface doesn't support scanning

eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning

Also when I run systemctl status hostapd I got this error:

systemctl : command not found

I am new to all this so I need to ask is there something missing ?

I use HDMI , keyboard and I power up the ErleBrain3 after these connections should I see the erle@erle-brain-3 like here : http://docs.erlerobotics.com/brains/erle-brain-3/getting_started/peripherals

Maybe missing something about flashing SD card ?

Hello,

Finally I saw erle-robotics-frambuesa in the wifi list in Windows 8 but it is limited so it doesnt work

And also I am using Virtual Box for ubuntu and I can't connect this wifi there,

Also when I run systemctl status hostapd I got this error:

systemctl : command not found

That command was to be ran in the brain, so it checks if the wireless network service is started or not. If you have the correct system flashed on your SD card you shouldn't get that message.

What do you mean by it being limited and not working?

The wifi doesn't appear on the wifi list? Or you can't connect to it?

Once the brain gives out an IP you might need to restart it so you can connect to the wifi with a different device, even if it's listed.

Thank you so much for your answers,

It connected just one time and I run

$ ssh erle@10.0.0.1

And after it didn't connect so I couldn't try anthing else

Do you recommend to follow from beginning flashing the SD card http://docs.erlerobotics.com/brains/erle-brain-3/getting_started

I am confused

In addition , I can see wifi list after few minutes but I can't connect.
