Hi all,

I have run into problems with connecting my Pypilot running on a Pi Zero W to the latest version of OpenPlotter running on a Pi5

I can access the Pypilot via the AP on 192.168.14.1, I have set the following:Tinypilot Wireless Configuration

Ap and Client
Access Point SSID Pypilot
Access Point Key .............
Client SSID OpenPlotter
Client Key .............
Client Mode Address is blank

I can not get this to load into my openplotter at all
If I join the Pypilot network via the openplotter it works but it will not join openplotter as a client.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Dave

if you connect with another device to the pypilot network you can get ssh access:

ssh tc@192.168.14.1
pw: pypilot

From here you could try diagnosing the issue. Consider "ifconfig" "iwconfig" maybe these commands give some hints? Are you able to connect to the openplotter network as client only mode?

It might have to do with the wifi channel. If openplotter wifi network is on a different channel it might cause an issue. I would suggest trying channel 6. If you can confirm this I would look into it.

There was some issue with wifi channel 1 with the pi 4, so I switched to channel 6. Really it should set the AP to use whatever channel the client is using but I am not sure this is working correctly, so that maybe the problem but it would be good to confirm.

Hi Sean,

So I could not manage to get the tinypilot to connect to my OP setup ( will be something stupid I am doing )

So I went with plan 2 which is to install the Pypilot direct to my P5 running Open Plotter.

I have enabled 12c and installed the pypilot plugin, every thing seems to work except I have no IMU detected.

I have tried 3 x IMU9250 and none have been detected.

I have vcc - 3.3v 
Ground to Ground 
SCL - SCL
SDA - SDA

I have an address showing at 68

Any thoughts or advice would be great

Dave

So,

I have found another MPU it is a MPU 6050 and I installed this and it has been detected as a MPU 9150

It all seems to be working so looks like a bad batch of MPU's

there sure are a lot of bad 9255/9250 sensors.

I have had much better reliability and quality with the icm20948
