Iphone 6 And Ipad 2

I have the Galapagos bot and I have loaded the iPhone app, when I use the iPhone app everything connects to the robot but the control all go crazy and the diamond arrow controller does not work. When I use the iPad 2 with iOS 7 the app works better. The bot will walk but only if I go to the controller tab. All the tabs respond correctly. But on the main interface of the app the diamond arrow controller does not work. Only the red stop button works. I do not have a windows PC to do any programming on. I am all apple based. I do have a 3 year old PC laptop running windows 7 but the ARC software will not work on there. So I am mostly counting on the mobile apps. Do the mobile apps need to be configured on a PC first before they will control the bot. I figured the ready made apps would work right away without configuring. Also can you steer me to a tutorial on connecting the wii remote for controlling. Any help would be great

Can you verify that both of those devices have the latest iOS operating system? If they do not, there will be some issues - this is because Apple iOS does not check for correct minimum versions.

Update the iOS on both devices and report back:)

Yes the iPhone is up to date and the app doesn't work. The iPad is running an older iOS and it runs the robot best, other than the diamond arrow control working. For some reason that is the only thing that doesn't work on the iPad. But the iPhone 6 with latest iOS does not work

Can you upload a screenshot of the app that doesn't work?

I'm having a little difficulty understanding the sentences. To clarify:

  • the movement control work on iPad
  • the movement controls do not work on your iPhone 6

Is that correct?

Also, please perform these steps on your devices...

  1. ensure you have a connection to the Internet (not connected to robot. Power off robot to be sure)

  2. load ARC mobile on your device

  3. select Installed Robot Apps menu option

  4. press Auto Update Apps button

  5. the Galapagos app will update

  6. once it has updated, press back and load the app to try again. I made a slight chance to the app which may solve the issue you were experiencing.

Ok I will try that. Thank you for help. Sorry I guess I wasn't explaining it well enough. When I get time I take screen shots and go further into detail about the problem

No problem:) I read a lot of emails and feedback throughout the day, so sometimes my brain gets clogged and requires a little TLC. I believe the update to the app that i had made earlier today will solve the issue which you are experiencing.

By the way. I love the product. I really like the Galapagos bot. It lives up to all my expectations and more!
