Updating Robot/Sensor Configurations

Guide to add or update the robot or sensor configurations in the ER Command Console

With the introduction of singular cortex devices, we have released the Extend Robotics Command Console, a web interface connected to your cortex device as well as the Robots and Sensors. It has built-in functionality for updating the robot and sensor configurations and settings.

This page consists of two sections which can aid you in updating your robot and sensor setup:

1. Add new or Edit the setup of Robots and Sensors 2. Load a previous Setup onto your device


Add new or Edit the setup of Robots and Sensors

1. Login to the Command Console here, and you should be redirected to the Dashboard.

2. Click Manage your device for the device you want to update configurations. Note that the device must be online and connected for any changes to take effect.

3. Click on Edit Setup

4. Here, you can update any fields on pre-existing robots or sensors.

5. You can also create and delete robots or sensors as you wish

6. When you have completed making all your necessary changes, you can click on Save

7. After updating the configurations, you can select whether to reboot your device. The Cortex device must be rebooted for the new robot to load. You can Download your Configurations if your Cortex device is offline or Apply them directly if the device is connected to the internet.

If you select Download Configs, within the ZIP file, there will be a README.md file containing instructions on completing the process for an offline Cortex device. The following steps are for when you apply Configurations to an internet-connected Cortex device.

8. If you select Apply Configs, a popup will appear upon successful action creation. Click on View updates.

9. Check the status of your Add Configs Action. The page refreshes every 15 seconds, or you can click on Refresh

10. Wait until your Succeeded status and click on Succeeded for more details


Load a previous Setup onto your device

1. To load previous configurations that were on the device, navigate back into the device

2. Navigate to Setup Details

3. Select the older Setup Version of your choice

4. Inspect the configurations to ensure you have the right ones, and when ready, you can click Load this Setup

5. Click on Confirm Load Setup, and similarly, it should get loaded onto the device
