If MECHA is not connected to a Wi-Fi with Internet access, it will ask for a SSID
name and password, as a guest asks if Wi-Fi is available in your home, to be able
to check something on the Internet, a Wi-Fi the guest will connect the phone to.
The same way, MECHA will use that Wi-Fi in order to download the new firmware
and perform the update.
Firmware Update Using a Smartphone:
Method 2
● Press the power button,
P
, for about 3 to 5 seconds to power on MECHA,
and wait until - + ≡ is shown on the display.
● Then press the
-
button to set MECHA in AP mode.
● Tap Settings icon on your device. Under Wireless and Networks, make sure
Wi-Fi is turned on, then tap Wi-Fi. Tap the nettwork name that contains
MECHA in its name, to connect the smartphone to MECHA. The default
password for MECHA’s network is 12345678.
● Now MECHA’s User Interface (UI) can
be accessed on the smartphone’s
browser at: 192.168.8.1 (which is a
static IP address).
● This is the New page. At the top of the
page, the current firmware version is
displayed. Tap the [Update] button and
follow the instructions to update the
firmware:
○ Connect to Wi-Fi for Internet acces.
Enter the Wi-Fi network name that
you want to connect to. It can be
your home or work Wi-Fi. The name
and the password are case
sensitive, like MyWiFi and myPassword! It’s not about MECHA’s
passwords here, but the Wi-Fi name and password MECHA needs to
connect to Wi-Fi.
