noble warning

LoreMaster · January 2019

I've been given a project by a colleague to get a MetaHub with a MetaMotionR sensor working. I am using Linux, which I am new at. When I start the MetaBase application on the Raspberry Pi desktop, I receive the following message:

noble warning: adapter state unauthorized, please run as root or with sudo or see README for information on running without root/sudo https://github.com/sandeepmistry/noble#running-on-linux
warn: Could not find device mac=E7:1F:85:38:D6:C5

Would this mean the warning is showing because it can't find the device or is something else going on? How can I debug to find out what the problem is?

I read the MAC address should be on the back of the MetaMotionR, but it is not. How can I find the address for this sensor?

Thanks

Follow the instructions in the warning message.

You can use the MetaBase app to scan for the device:

Thank you for your quick reply. I did look at that page and this is what it said to run:

sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -f which node)

what would you put in for 'which node' in this case?

Thanks

Run the commands exactly as is.
