Ai_vision_sensor not connecting to vexcode

Hello. I am attempting to connect the ai_vision_sensor to Vexcode. I am a Vex v5 user. Unfortunately, it is not working. The computer that I am currently using is a Mac Mini. Here is a hardware overview of my computer, generated by the system_profiler SPHardwareDataType command:

Hardware Overview:

  Model Name: Mac mini

  Model Identifier: Mac16,10

  Model Number: Z1CG00018LL/A

  Chip: Apple M4

  Total Number of Cores: 10 (4 performance and 6 efficiency)

  Memory: 24 GB

  System Firmware Version: mBoot-18000.161.9

  OS Loader Version: 11881.140.96.701.1

  Serial Number (system): QQW3HC6FR2

  Hardware UUID: 5CD4F044-F606-5B8B-BB5F-F73076BDC468

  Provisioning UDID: 00008132-001E09E00153801C

  Activation Lock Status: Disabled

When I run the system_profiler SPUSBDataType command, the computer clearly recognizes the camera as connected. Here is the output regarding the camera, that comes from running that command:

GPS Sensor:

          Product ID: 0x0521

          Vendor ID: 0x2888

          Version: 1.01

          Speed: Up to 480 Mb/s

          Manufacturer: Vex Robotics, Inc

          Location ID: 0x02120000 / 4

          Current Available (mA): 500

          Current Required (mA): 100

          Extra Operating Current (mA): 0

Interestingly, it seems to categorize it as a GPS sensor for some reason. When I log onto vexcode, I press “add device”, followed by “configure”, followed by “connect”. When I press connect, it displays a message that says, “no compatible devices found”. Changing code.vex.com’s permissions on the browser does not help. How can I fix this? Thank you in advance.

That is the USB product ID for a GPS sensor. Does your “ai vision” sensor have "AI " silk screened on the side ?

You can stream both the GPS and the AI vision sensors in Quicktime Player, perhaps open that and see if it streams a monochrome (GPS) or color image.

Somebody on my team gave me a GPS sensor but told me that it was an AI sensor. Sorry. Apologies for wasting your time. I really should have looked at the side.
