Beacon Errors in Notifications

I’m getting Beacon errors constantly showing in the Notifications.

What causes this and what can I do to repair?

This is one of the log file’s content:

A look through the rest randomly seems to have the same content

Thanks in advance

Hi @grantdutoit
Can you please share BlueOS system logs, found in the gear menu in the lower left? Thanks!

Hi Tony, the file is too large, 150meg. I opted for a fresh install which seems to have solved the problem.

Now I have a bunch of wifi related notifications. Is this a problem? Will it cause problems or can we just ignore the notifications?

We don’t use wifi on our bot as in the real (out of workshop) everything will take place over the tether.

Hi @grantdutoit -
Are you using a Raspberry Pi 4? The onboard WiFi is typically used to connect the system to the internet, to install extensions and download updates… otherwise it is not required!

Hi, what version of BlueOS is this?
I’m asking to try to replicate the issue on my end.

@williangalvani , I believe it was 1.3.0-beta.10.

Yes, we’re using a RPi4

Hi @grantdutoit
Using 1.3 stable or a newer beta will likely fix your issue!
