Can't auto assign interface

[JulesVtr0]

Hi, i'm currently trying to devellop a multi camera network with a modulable number of gopro. Except that when i launch my code an error occured.

PS : the BLE part work great, I'm just stuck when connecting to the WiFi AP

Here's the error log:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\jules.vautier\camera\connect_WIFI_AP.py", line 131, in <module>

    raise Exception("Can't auto-assign interface. None found.")
Exception: Can't auto-assign interface. None found.

Thanks in advance !

Hello. This means that the Wifi module can not automatically find a suitable WiFi interface. The quickest solution here is to pass in the actual interface that you want to use. To see the list of interfaces, you can do the following depending on the OS:

• Windows: netsh wlan show interfaces
• (Most) *nix: nmcli dev
• MacOS: networksetup -listallhardwareports

then pass it in using the top level interface parameter of the GoPro class.

If you want to find out why it is failing to find a suitable interface, you can:

1. Run the default gopro-wifi demo
2. look at the resulting gopro_demo.log after it fails. You're specifically looking for the response to the interface discovery command from above. If you post the entire log here I can help take a look.

As a side note, you're not the first person to get confused here so I need to update the logging and docs to make this more clear. That work will be done here.

Hi. Are you able to find your list interfaces or provide the requested log?

Closing this as #216 has added more detailed error messages as well as documentation on how to handle the wifi interface.

Hi, I am not able to assign interface. even manually. On my RPI if i run nmcli dev I get Error:NetworkManager is not working. I know my interface name is wlan0 as always. If iI try to sudo systemctl start NetworkManager, then the whole interface goes down due to dhcpcd not running error. If I enable back the dhcpdc then i return to the previous error
