How to Access the Settings Menu?
First, you’ll need a PeekSmith device. Turn on both your Atom and PeekSmith devices. Then, press the back button on your Atom device four times quickly. This will connect your PeekSmith device, and you’ll successfully enter the settings menu.
If you don’t have a PeekSmith, you can set your Atom device on this page: MagiScript Editor (electricks.info) More information is on this page.
Settings Menu Options
You can navigate through the menu options using the left button on your PeekSmith device. The available options are:
- General
- Launcher
- Keyboard
- Devices
- Vibrations
- Apps
To enter a specific menu and select the setting you want to adjust, press the right button on your PeekSmith. You can return to the main menu using the side button.
Under the video is detailed overview of what you can configure within each setting category:
General
In the general settings, you can choose which card stack to use and set the mirror buttons to be in either normal mode or upside-down mode.
Card Stack
Apps like Atom Stack are compatible with various card stacks. This setting allows you to choose your preferred stack to work with.
- Simple (CDHS)
- New Deck Order
- Si Stebbins
- Mnemonica
- Aronson
- Memorandum
Mirror Buttons
Atom is designed with the buttons at the top and the LED at the bottom. However, you might find it useful to hold Atom ‘upside-down,’ with the LED at the top and the buttons at the bottom (see the photos). For example, you can hide Atom under a deck of cards.
Use this setting to adjust the layout to your preferences. The order of the buttons will change based on the chosen configuration.
Launcher
You can customize which mini-app is launched by each button to suit your preferences. Additionally, you can set a mini-app to automatically start when you turn on Atom.
Keyboard
Keyboard settings allows you to configure many aspects of how Atom’s Bluetooth Keyboard mini-apps should work.
Language and iOS
We currently support the International keyboard, which includes a wide range of Latin letters. As a result, this setting has only one option. By selecting your phone’s operating system (iOS or Android), you can ensure maximum compatibility with accented letters, as their input methods vary depending on the OS.
Separator Key and Submit Key
Configure the Separator Key and Submit Key settings according to your and the app’s needs. The built-in mini-apps will use these. For example, you can set to enter a comma and a space when you press a “separator” key using the Numeric Keyboard mini-app.
Auto Separate
Would you like to enter Lotto numbers? Atom’s “smart” feature will automatically insert separators where needed. For instance, you can set it to add a separator after each letter, number, or group of 2 or 3 characters. You can also configure it to add a separator after a set number of seconds.
For example, if you set it to 2 characters, you can confidently enter Lotto numbers using the Numeric keyboard by simply typing the numbers. After every two digits, a separator will be added automatically, allowing you to input a series of two-digit numbers without any extra effort.
Auto Submit
Would you like to enter something quickly and trigger a behaviour in an application? Auto Submit is another smart feature allows you to send a submit key (like Enter) after x seconds (of not pressing any button).
Custom Keyboard Assignments
The Custom Keyboard mini-app is designed to enter the keywords for WikiTest by default. However, you can customize this setting to assign any key press or words to the buttons. For more details on how to configure this, refer to the Custom Keyboard mini-app documentation.
Devices
PeekSmith ID, SB Watch ID, PeriPage ID
These values determine which devices Atom should attempt to connect to when you use a mini-app. For instance, when you launch Atom Time, it automatically connects to a PeekSmith and SB Watch.
The default setting is `*` (star), meaning Atom will connect to any available device nearby. If you have multiple PeekSmith or SB Watch devices, Atom will randomly connect to one of them.
To ensure Atom connects to a specific device, enter the full Bluetooth device name, such as PeekSmith-031234. Note that capitalization matters. You can find the exact device name in an app like PeekSmith or TimeSmith.
Vibrations
You can personalize the vibration patterns according to your preference.
Haptic Feedback
When you press a button in Atom, it provides feedback with a short vibration. Disabling this feature will stop these button press vibrations. Please note that this setting does not affect other vibrations, such as those when turning Atom ON or OFF, or when launching a mini-app.
Number Encoding
Apps can send number information with vibrations. When a number has sent, Atom can vibrate the value with different patterns. It can be configured to play as magicians used to encode numbers or as Morse code defines them. The default for the numbers is Morse encoding.
Short Vibration, Long Vibration, Extra Long Vibration, Space, Pause, Repeat Gap
These timings are about the different vibration patterns. Space is between a group of vibrations (like numbers or letters), while pause is the time after every vibration.
Apps
With the App Settings, you can configure which devices Atom should connect to, or some apps (like Atom Time or Atom Pi) behaviour.
Submit after 4 digits (Atom Time)
Atom Time allows you to enter time using up to four digits. For a faster experience, you can enable this option that automatically submits the time as soon as the fourth digit is entered, without waiting for additional seconds or needing to press a submit button. If you make a mistake, you can easily press the delete button to clear the last digit(s) and resubmit a new time.
Display Pi Revelations (Atom Time)
While Atom Pi is a separate mini-app designed specifically for working with Pi Revelations, this feature is also integrated into the Atom Time app. By enabling this feature, Atom Time will use the numbers you enter to display the relevant Pi Revelations information directly on the PeekSmith’s screen.
