Comma AI self driver assistant

The documentation for this project sucks. I am banned from the official comma platforms for complaining about it.

I've done my best to make better documents for bluepilot, but i have a job, kids, and I try to keep the code up to date. There is only so much I can do. And no matter how many times ask, no one ever documents their journey for others. Once they get up and running they don't give flip about the next new guy.

if anyone wants to write up a how-to for newbies, I'll turn it into an article on bluepilot that can be linked to.

This thing is so frustrating. Do you have a link to your instructions? I can't seem to find them after searching Google.

menu --> device --> uninstall

on reboot, join wifi

Use custom software

URL (case sensitive) = installer.comma.ai/BluePilotDev/bp-6.0-beta

After you install bluepilot, go into the menu and find the SunnyLink pairing option. Once paired to Sunnylink, you can go in through the web browser and force it to recognize your truck in the "vehicle menu"

Thank you, sorry, I was able to get this figured out finally and it's installing now but it's been sitting here at the Bluepilot screen for a while now. Not sure how long this takes but I will give it some more time.

up to 30 minutes, longer than that would indicate an issue.

PSA: when y'all do your recall, make sure to pull your comma, I forgot and the update failed I guess and he chastised me a lil for it. Was fine after. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Guess he's not aware of the little hole in the bottom of the grab handle for the very purpose of taking off that cap.

This was the hardest part of the installation, however, if you take a butter knife and be very careful, it will pop off this cap very easily without any marks.

Yes, everything is working!

Do you have to put back the harness the way it was? My hands are kind of large and it was a pain in the you know what to get that connector in.

I just had my recall done. All you need to do is unplug the USB from the Comma or remove the Comma from the sliding dock. No need to remove the harness from the IPMA.

Great, I don't want to have to remove the harness ever again lol.

@Ajzride , thanks for helping all of us get up and running. I finally received my comma 4 today and using your posts was able to get bluePilot 6.0 beta downloaded and my truck force recognized thru sunnypilot. Moving forward will the comma update to the latest version of BluePilot automatically or will I have to do that manually?

I agree, thank you for your help!

we don't typically push any updates other than minor bug fixes. We always create a new branch, that way someone who is really happy with their current setup isn't forced into an upgrade.

I try to answer what I can on here, Mach-e forum, F150gen14 forum, and Discord, but you or someone much more qualified than I generally beat me to it or know way more than what I am able to answer.

I can write something up that documents what I did to get my C3x running on my Lightning with BP 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and now 6.0-beta. But I don't know if that's actually what people are looking for as far as an "instruction sheet". I also remember asking that same question when I first got the Comma of where the instructions were and the answer was the same back then, "It's dispersed around the interwebs". I'm used to looking up stuff like this since I use Linux Mint as my daily driver and I dabbled in using custom Android ROMs, so I get it.

Send me a framework of what you (or anybody on here) think documenting the journey would look like that would help others and I'll give it a shot. It's the least I could do.
