Web Camera

1. Plug in web cam into USB port (should take about 30 seconds to show up so should probably do this before the talk starts)
2. Double click Logitech QuickCam on the desktop
3. Click the movie/person icon on the top to open the video window
4. Make sure the ‘Select Image Size’ says (VGA) 640x480 (too big and its slow too small and its hard to read)
5. If the focus is off, hit the button with the 2 gears to open the settings menu. Make sure ‘Auto Focus’ is OFF and slide the manual focus around till you find something that’s comfortable. Hit the gears icon again and the settings window will go away.

MSP LED diagnostics

The right-most (toward the corner) three LEDs provide information on the state of the device and the bluetooth link. Additionally a green and an orange LED to the left are lit when the device is plugged in/charging.

• No LEDs: device off
• Red, green, blue solid: just powered on
• Green solid, no others: device on, not accepting bluetooth connections (Did it just power on? Wait up to 20 seconds.)
• Green solid, blue flashing: device on, waiting to accept a bluetooth connection.
• Green, blue solid: device on, bluetooth link established.

It may take up to 30 seconds for the blue LED to go from blinking to solid and vice versa.

Troubleshooting

BluetoothServer or ActivityAccumulator won't start

This is unfortunately a mystery. Rebooting the phone is the best option to make detected activities work again.
