2. Installing the AuboStudio APP on a Mobile Device

The AuboStudio APP is a mobile control software developed by AUBO specifically for AUBO robot arms. It currently supports only tablet Android systems. When AUBO products ship from the factory, the AuboStudio APP is installed on the tablet computer that comes with the robot arm. Users can also install it on other mobile devices as needed. For the software installation environment requirements, please refer to "Table 2-1 AuboStudio APP Installation Environment Requirements".

2.1 AuboStudio APP Installation Instructions

Because different mobile devices have system differences, the following only describes the necessary installation steps, for reference only.

1. Download or import the AuboStudio APP client installation package (.apk file) to the mobile device.

3. Connecting the Virtual Machine to the Mobile Device

1. Open "Settings > WLAN" on the mobile device, select the currently connected network, and view the mobile device's IP address (for example, the current mobile device IP address is 172.19.10.239).

   

2. Open VMware Workstation, start the virtual machine, and after entering ARCS, click 【Log out】 to enter the system interface.

   

3. Right-click to bring up the drop-down menu, select "Open Terminal Here", and open the 【Terminal】 window.

   

4. Enter the command ifconfig in the 【Terminal】 and press 【Enter】 on the keyboard to view the virtual machine IP address (for example, the current virtual machine IP address is 172.19.10.206).

   

5. Enter the command ping 172.19.10.239 in the 【Terminal】 and press 【Enter】. When the 【Terminal】 window displays the following, it means the mobile device can connect to the virtual machine.

   

6. Open the AuboStudio APP on the mobile device; the 【Control Cabinet Connection】 window pops up. When the virtual machine IP (172.19.10.206) appears under "Control Cabinet IP" in the 【IP List】, tap that entry to connect to the virtual machine ARCS.

   Note: If the virtual machine IP does not appear in the list, try tapping the 【Refresh】 button to refresh the list.

   

4. Troubleshooting: Mobile Device Cannot Connect to the Virtual Machine

If the mobile device cannot connect to the virtual machine, it may be because the virtual machine's network is not configured as "Bridged mode". Refer to the following steps to change the virtual machine's network configuration, then try connecting the mobile device to the virtual machine again.

1. Open VMware Workstation, select the virtual machine, click "Virtual Machine > Settings", and open the 【Virtual Machine Settings】 window.

   

2. Click "Network Adapter", select "Bridged" for "Network connection", and click 【OK】.

   

3. Restart the virtual machine.
