+ | ===== Troubleshooting ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | When setting up the BeamPro, you may run into some hardware and software issues. This section should serve as a guide for how to fix these potential problems. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== BeamPro Display ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ dylanw: | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is a hardware problem that may occur with the BeamPro, and could have multiple causes. The first thing you will want to ensure that the power connector for the top portion, circled in **Pink**, is connected properly. Once you have ensured this, you will want to **Reset** the board using the button circled in **Green**, and then **Boot** using the button circled in **Blue**. If at anytime the main power button on the back stops working, you can use the **On/Off** button circled in **Red** to turn the robot on and off. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== WiFi Connection ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | When setting up your BeamPro, you may run into difficulty with the WiFi connection. In order to fix this, ensure that you have a suitable network, as described below: | ||
+ | \\ \\ | ||
+ | {{ dylanw: | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ensure that your network fulfills all of these requirements, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Beam App ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | When trying to control the BeamPro, it is possible to have difficulty setting up and using the Beam App. | ||
+ | |||
+ | First, make sure that you have properly registered your account, and have gained access to your BeamPro. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you have confirmed this, ensure that you have the latest version of the Beam software. If you are using the Google Chrome app, the connection may be unstable, so this is not recommended. If you are using the Beam App on a mobile device, make sure that you are connected to WiFi, as even LTE speeds are not high enough for proper response time with the BeamPro. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you have confirmed all of these, your Beam App should be running properly. |
