📲Connect to Misty

To get started with your Misty lessons you will need to connect Misty to your local Wi-Fi network. If you haven't connected to your Misty yet, then you can follow these quick, out-of-box setup steps.

Mobile App

Step 1. Download the Misty App

You can download the Misty App from the App Store (iOS) to connect to Misty.

Step 2. Enable Bluetooth on your phone or tablet

You can connect to Misty via Bluetooth by standing close to her with the Misty App open on your device. When the Bluetooth broadcast succeeds, the app displays a list of Misty robots that your app can connect to. Select your Misty from the list.

Note: If you are in a room with more than one Misty, you may need to locate your Misty's serial number by checking the label on the bottom of your robot.

Step 3. Connect to Wi-Fi

When Misty connects to your device, the Misty App displays a list of nearby Wi-Fi networks. Select your network from the list, and follow the prompt to enter your password. Once the Wi-Fi connection succeeds, you should see the Misty App Home screen.

Step 4. Access Misty Studio

Confirm that the Wi-Fi status is connected and that a valid IP address (example: 10.10.10.46) for Misty appears on the screen. Type in the IP into your web browser to access Misty Studio where you can control and send commands to Misty. We suggest writing down this IP address as you will also need it to access Misty with other devices on the same network.

USB drive

In cases where using a mobile application won't work, or if you're having issues with Bluetooth, you can also use a USB drive to connect to the wifi network. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Format the USB drive in FAT format.

2. In the root of that file system, create a directory named 'misty' (without the quotes).

3. In that directory, create a text file named wifi.txt.

4. Edit that text file. On the first line, add the name of the SSID. On the second line, add the network key. The resulting file should look something like this:

   MyNetworkName
   MyNetworkKey

   Text

5. Save the file and eject the USB drive. Insert the drive into Misty's USB port and give her 60 seconds to connect to the network.

6. Remove the USB drive from Misty. Within the misty directory should be a file called 'onboard.txt'. This file will contain the robot's IP address.

If you're connecting to an enterprise wifi network, you'll use a similar method to the USB drive method above:

1. Format the USB drive in FAT format.

2. In the root of that file system, create a directory named 'misty' (without the quotes).

3. Into that directory, you add a JSON formatted text file named enterprisewifi.txt with the format:

   {
    "SSID": "THE-SSID",
    "Identity": "THE-USERNAME",
    "Password": "THE-PASSWORD",
    "EapMethod": "{NONE},{PEAP},{TLS},{TTLS},{PWD},{SIM},{AKA},{AKA_PRIME},{UNAUTH_TLS}",
    "Phase2Method": "{NONE},{PAP},{MSCHAP},{MSCHAPV2},{GTC},{SIM},{AKA},{AKA_PRIME}",
    "AltSubjectMatch": "THE-ALT-SUBJECT-MATCH",
    "AnonymousIdentity": "THE-ANONYMOUS-IDENTITY",
    "DomainSuffixMatch": "THE-DOMAIN-SUFFIX",
    "Realm": "THE-REALM",
    "KeyManagementMethods": [
        "{None},{WPA_PSK},{WPA_EAP},{IEEE8021X},{WPA2_PSK},{OSEN},{FT_PSK},{SAE},{OWE},{SUITE_B_192},{WPA_PSK_SHA256},{WPA_EAP_SHA256}",
        "{None},{WPA_PSK},{WPA_EAP},{IEEE8021X},{WPA2_PSK},{OSEN},{FT_PSK},{SAE},{OWE},{SUITE_B_192},{WPA_PSK_SHA256},{WPA_EAP_SHA256}",
        ...
        "{None},{WPA_PSK},{WPA_EAP},{IEEE8021X},{WPA2_PSK},{OSEN},{FT_PSK},{SAE},{OWE},{SUITE_B_192},{WPA_PSK_SHA256},{WPA_EAP_SHA256}"
    ]
   }

4. The wifi file should be configured to match the requirements of the network. You'll likely need to work with your network administrator to determine the right options to use. The underlying system is Android, which supports these configuration options. Also, note that alues provided for EapMethod, Phase2Method, and KeyManagementMethods represent the valid options, and that KeyManagementMethods is an array.

5. Save the file and eject the USB drive. Insert the drive into Misty's USB port and give her 60 seconds to connect to the network.

6. Remove the USB drive from Misty. Within the misty directory should be a file called 'onboard.txt'. This file will contain the robot's IP address.

Lastly, there are cases in which you may want to connect Misty to a wired network. Misty doesn't have an RJ45 ethernet port, so you'd need a USB to ethernet adapter (not supplied) to make the connection.
