I can not get the wifi module to work as a client or access point. I copied and pasted the Lua script for the GoPro. I used the correct SSID and password (both Lotus710). The wifi module is in the outside port. The wifi is enabled in the app.The activity light on the wifi module doesn't light up. The GoPro Hero 4 is on and wifi enabled (blinking blue light)
In the app under system status it says wifi is enabled (disconnected).

poll log:

any ideas?

Hi John,

The current GoPro script requires that the built-in WiFi connectivity be *turned off* in the configuration. Otherwise the built-in WiFi code will take over the port the WiFi connector is plugged into, preventing the Lua script from running.
https://wiki.autosportlabs.com/RaceCapt ... WiFi#Notes

Future firmware versions will have built-in GoPro control, eliminating the need to have the Lua script.

Try it with WiFi turned off and see if the script starts responding. Thanks!

Thanks for your help Brent,

Turning off the wifi in the app did not change anything with my wifi module. On my friends module it will connect every time now. I get the same error as before. As soon as I replace the wifi module it connects.

So GoPro works with your friend's WiFi module, but not yours.

If you connect your suspected bad WiFi module, re-enable WiFi in the config (and write back your config), then power cycle RCP, and then look under system status in the app (top left menu) - what does it report for WiFi status?

I re-enabled Wifi, client mode, and access mode. Hit write and restarted RC. System status for client and access point is disabled for both.

Got it. Ok, so when you have those enabled, and you go to the RCP log (under the scripting window) - do you see anything like this? Just want to double-check. (Turns out we need an additional status indicator for WiFi to make sure we know the state of the WiFi sub-system)

That's the smoking gun. Ok, ping us back directly directly and we'll get you sorted out promptly.

Hi Brent,

I loaded the GoPro Script into my RaceCApture windows software (version 1.9) and RCP Mk2 2.10.2 and it hasn´t worked at all. I even put the same name and password for my GoPro Hero 3 as in the script but it is not working. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Hi FHB-PERFORMANCE:

It looks like you have WiFi enabled in your RaceCapture configuration. This conflicts with the GoPro script, the two cannot operate at the same time. See the notes here: https://wiki.autosportlabs.com/RaceCapt ... WiFi#Notes

We are targeting firmware 2.12.0 to enable native GoPro control without the use of the script. We don't have a firm ETA when this will be available.

Thanks, and sorry for the confusion!

I see there is a best of 2.12 but no mention of GoPro or WiFi in the change log. Still thinking this will go in that release? My Lua script is getting pretty long...

Hi Jeff,

2.12.0 changes have been finalized - if no issues identified, this build will just be called the official release.

Full change log:
https://www.autosportlabs.com/help-us-t ... 12-0-beta/

GoPro triggering is penciled in for 2.13.0
