TempoTreadle 3(Beta)— Quick Start

Connect Your Tablet or Phone to TempoTreadle 3

Simple steps to get your iPad, iPhone, or Android device talking to your TempoTreadle 3 box. You only do this once — after that, it reconnects by itself.

---

Before You Start

• Get the app:

  • iPad / iPhone: install TempoWeave from the App Store.

  • Android: install TempoWeave from the Google Play Store.

• Know your home Wi-Fi name and password. The box uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi — nearly every home router has it. (Details: Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz guide.)

---

Step 1 — Turn On the Box

1. Press the red button once (or plug in the USB-C cable).

2. Wait for the logo, then the status screen.

3. The box's screen shows its own network name, like TempoTreadle-A1B2 (the last 4 characters are unique to your box). You may need it below.

Screen dark? That's normal battery saving — tap either button to wake it.

---

Step 2 — Run Setup in the App

1. Open a draft in TempoWeave (any draft is fine for setup).

2. Tap Tools → ASSISTANTS → Weave Assistant…

3. Tap the ⚙ (Settings) gear, then the TempoTreadle section.

4. Tap Setup… — the guided wizard starts.

5. If the wizard asks you to join the box's own Wi-Fi first:

   • iPhone / iPad: Settings → Wi-Fi → tap the network matching the box's screen (e.g. TempoTreadle-A1B2) → password weaveon123 → Join. If a window pops up, tap "Stay on the TempoTreadle network", then Done. If asked, choose "Use Without Internet."

   • Android: Settings → Wi-Fi → tap the box's network → password weaveon123 → Connect. If asked "This network has no internet. Stay connected?" tap Stay connected.

   • Then return to the TempoWeave app.

   "No internet" is normal! Your device is talking directly to the box, not to the internet. Nothing is wrong.

   A TempoTreadle setup page may pop up by itself when you join the box's network. That's the box's own setup screen — you can pick your home Wi-Fi right there instead of in the app's wizard. Both do the same thing.

6. In the wizard, pick your home Wi-Fi from the list and enter its password. The box restarts and joins your network; the wizard fills in the box's address for you.

   How you know it worked: look at the box's screen. Once the box has joined, its screen shows your home Wi-Fi name. If the app is still "looking" but the box's screen already shows your network, setup succeeded — do not run setup again. Just make sure your device is back on the same Wi-Fi.

7. Make sure your device is back on your home Wi-Fi, then tap Connect. The status turns green, and the box's screen shows the app's name when they're connected.

8. Tap Done and weave — press a treadle and watch the Weave Assistant advance.

No Home Wi-Fi? Connect Directly (Works Anywhere)

At a guild meeting or retreat, skip the wizard and talk straight to the box:

1. Do Step 1, then join the box's Wi-Fi as in Step 2.5 above.

2. In Weave Assistant → ⚙ → TempoTreadle, set Box address to 192.168.7.1 and tap Connect.

---

Every Time After

Nothing to set up. Open the Weave Assistant, tap ⚙ → TempoTreadle → Connect (the address is remembered). Your device and the box just need to be on the same Wi-Fi network — the box's screen shows which network it's on.

The Buttons at a Glance

Button	Press	What it does
Red	Tap	Power on / wake the screen
Red	Press and hold	Power off
Gray	Tap	Show connection status (which network, box address)

---

If Something Doesn't Work

Problem	Fix
Wizard can't find the box	Make sure the box is on and nearby; check its screen is awake; tap Setup… again.
App keeps searching after you entered the Wi-Fi password	Check the box's screen first. If it shows your home network name, the box is already connected — don't redo setup. Put your device back on that same Wi-Fi, then tap "The box shows connected."
The box's own Wi-Fi doesn't appear in your Wi-Fi list	The box is probably already on your home Wi-Fi (its screen shows which). To put it back on its own network, hold the gray button for 2 seconds — it restarts on TempoTreadle-XXXX.
Your home network isn't in the wizard's list	It's likely 5 GHz-only — see the 2.4 GHz guide.
Box joined Wi-Fi but won't connect	Confirm your device is on the same network as the box (not cellular, not a guest network).
Screen is dark	Normal battery saving — tap either button to wake it.

Still stuck? Email [e-mail] — include your device type, what step you're on, and a photo of the box's screen if you can.
