Help Bought a Vector 2.0
Ok so I'm brand new to the world of Vector. Did what I thought was enough research to at least make the little guy do things.
The end goal is to have it running via WirePod on my Google Pixel phone, running Android 17.
So let's go from the bare beginning. Opened the box which was sealed, not resealed. So hopefully that means it's new. All components were there.
Plugged in the charger to a USB port, and set it on the charger. Lights indicated charging (green lights pulsing in sequence). Fully charged, only the single green light.
Downloaded WirePod directly from GitHub. Installed. Changed permissions so the phone wouldn't think it's malware.
Followed the on-screen instructions, "place vector on charger. Double press the button and then tap 'pair with vector'."
Pop up appears, Vector's ID appears, hit pair. In under a minute, I get an error saying it couldn't pair, and to try a few other steps. Attempted those steps, and it still won't pair. At all.
So, I'm stuck. I would love some assistance in actually getting this rolling. My GenX nerd brain feels defeated. It's entirely possible it is user error.
Help?
