Widig-802 QuickStart WiFi

Connect the WiDig

Out of the box, the WiDig sets up a WiFi access point (AP).

1. Find the WiDig AP in the list of access points in your WiFi menu and connect to it. The WiDig will be listed as "WiDig SSSS", where SSSS is its serial number.

A "captive portal" window will open entitled "Join WiDig SSSS". If you don't select the AP in the list manually, the captive portal will open eventually automatically.

2. Start an OSC monitor (eg. this OSC Data Monitor) and configure it to listen for messages on port 9999, or start a web browser and access the configuration page of your network's router.

3. Select "Configure WiFi" and in the following screen select the network you want to use and enter its password. The WiDig now has the necessary credentials to be able to obtain an IP address. Once it has obtained this IP address it will send an Open Sound Control (OSC) message to all computers on the network on port 9999 with this IP address. Alternatively you can find the WiDig's IP address in the list of connected devices on the configuration page of your network's router.

4. Enter the IP address in the URL field of a web browser (on a computer or on a mobile device) to access the configuration page of the WiDig.

5. Click on the "Off" button of Input 1 to start streaming sensor data of Input 1 and confirm that you are receiving this data in the OSC monitor.

You're up and running !

Further steps

1. Click "Sample" to get the latest snapshot of the data for the sensors that are enabled.

2. Click on the "Sensors" link to access the configuration page for actuators, and click on the "Actuators" link to access the configuration page for sensors.

3. Select the sensors or actuators you have plugged into the WiDig's inputs/outputs from the pull-down menus.

4. When selecting a digital sensor or actuator, the field to its right will be enabled for entering the sensor's method, if needed.

5. Switch between raw and processed modes of operation by clicking the raw/processed button. The raw mode corresponds to host mode (see eg. Connect), while the processed mode corresponds to standalone mode. With EditorX you can configure more features of the processed mode than possible with the web browser page.

6. Configure the OSC output and input addresses and ports as needed. Out of the box the OSC output is configured to broadcast to the entire network but you may want to change that to send OSC messages to a specific computer's IP address.
