Requirements

For testing purposes, use our Vision Control app. You have the option of using iOS, Android, or Windows platforms, allowing you the flexibility to choose between a PC, laptop, tablet, or phone – use whichever device suits you best. Additionally, there’s no issue with testing specific features on one device and switching to another during the process.

  1. Install the following application from one of the possible ways:
    • Windows:
    • Android:
      • Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kkt.Vision
        Go to Google Play Store
      • Vision Server: https://server.kk-t.eu/api/v1/Tools/Install?tool=VisionAndroid
    • iOS / MacOs:
  2. Make sure the fixture is turned on.
  3. Make sure the Vision Controller is flashed with firmware. If not, you can download the newest bootloader here. Make sure you choose the correct bootloader for your application (If you have a preconfigured fixture from us or the bootloader is already flashed you can skip this step):
  4. Scan for your fixture in the Vision Control App:
    • Open the Vision Control App and make sure you have a working internet connection
    • Login with an already existing account or register a new account
    • A prepare wizard will open the first time you use the app. Enable your Bluetooth & Location services there. If you accept Bluetooth & Location services it should work out of the box. If an error occurs please inform yourself how to do this on your specific platform. A list of supported and tested devices can be found here: https://iqservice.glp.de/index/SupportedDevices
    • Your app will open the Discover page:
    • Trigger a Bluetooth scan. A Bluetooth scan can be triggered in two ways depending on your device:
      • Tablets: Use either the refresh icon or swipe down:
      • Windows: Using the refresh Icon in the top:
      • Phones: Swipe down as the icon indicates:
    • Now your device searches for available fixtures using Bluetooth
  5. Ensure the Bluetooth advertising signal of your fixture maintains high quality.
    • If you did not discover any fixture make sure your Bluetooth module is available.
    • If you have access to a Sample Board, compare the signal strength of your fixture’s Bluetooth advertising with that of the Sample Board. The signal quality of your fixture should not significantly degrade compared to the Sample Board.
    • If you don’t have a Sample Board for comparison, ensure the Bluetooth advertising signal quality remains above -60dBm, at a distance of 20cm from your fixture. This threshold represents a very broad minimum standard for signal strength.Dieses Bild hat ein leeres Alt-Attribut. Der Dateiname ist IMG_3997-1024x835.jpg
      Bluetooth signal quality
  6. If you have flashed the bootloader or the bootloader was already flashed then you can install the newest VISION firmware using the Vision Control app. (If you have a preconfigured fixture from us you can skip this step):
    • Press on the “iQ.DFU“ fixture. Do not click on the DFU Icon, there you can select and deselect the fixture but we do not need this function currently.
    • The application will ask you to update the VISION firmware. You can update to the newest available by clicking „Update“:
    • If there are any connection related issues. Try to reduce the MTU Size in App Settings (the gear on top) → Connection Settings. This is especially helpful for Windows.
  7. Set the application into “Test Mode“ using the following procedure. This allows to use and see development fixtures which are not registered:
    • Go to „Settings“ by clicking on the gear in the top:
    • Click on App Settings:
    • Tab on the App Software Version label (0.0.5.0) two times. After that a prompt shows up. Type in the PIN “7248“. Then the Test Mode will be activated.
    • After successfully enabling the Test Mode, additional help videos will be available. These videos can assist you in better understanding the testing process. Click on „Watch Help Videos“ to see them:
    • Go back to the “Discover“ page and scan for your fixture.
  8. In the first step check that the signal LED of the Vision Controller lights up when starting.
    • It lights up for 5 seconds every time the controller starts. It does not light up if the controller is either still in Sleep Mode or the wrong firmware is flashed.
    • Make sure the correct bootloader for the right module is flashed and your schematic is right.
    • Make sure the Vision Controller is in normal operation. Therefore make sure the „FIXTURE_IS_ON“ Pin is set to high. You can find more information in the documentation under System.
    • Another issue can be the 32.768khz Crystal. Make sure it is connected and working. Bootloader works without but firmware needs the crystal.
  9. Finding your fixture:
    • After scanning, a fixture should be available like this:
    • If the fixture is shown as „Unconfigured“, the Core configuration is not written yet and the fixture doesn’t know what it is for an fixture. This is the starting point. If you already have created the fixture and have created the core configuration you can start writing the Core configuration. If not it makes sense to create this now. Please follow this chapter:
      https://server.kk-t.eu/CoreVision/ProductionFixture
    • Now lets move on with writing the core configuration. Make sure you are logged in with an account linked to the company where the fixture was created. Please follow the steps here: https://server.kk-t.eu/CoreVision/ProductionCore
