No access to Wireless Thymio Network Configurator

steig 20 Mar 2019 13:05

Hello
I like to use three Thymios at the same time in a classroom. A student has his own Wireless Thymio and doesn't want his instructions to interfere with other students. So I like to choose for each robot another channel. So I start the Wireless Thymio Network Configurator. But every time the error message turns up: No contact with the Dongle. How can I solve this problem? Thanks for help.

Hello,

Which OS are you using? did you try another usb port or another computer? did you make sure that no other aseba programs are running at the same time?

Thanks for your reply. Normally I use Laptops with Windows 10 at school. To solve the problem I took a Thymio home and tried with a iMac OS High Sierra, same problem. I tried different usb ports, same problem. It is strange, because the computer has a connection with the Thymio. VPL runs and the students can program the Thymio…

Okey, I started everything new. I didn't start VPL first and then closed it, I started with the Configurator and now everything is working. So no other aseba programs is running at the same time and the Configurator works. Is it really as simple as that? Thanks for your help.

Yes, only one program can connect to Thymio at a time. If the configurator does not work, but VPL or Studio work (or conversely), make sure to close everything. If you have doubts, check the Activity Monitor / Task Manager for processes named asebaXXXX or thymioYYYY and close them.
