PeekSmith 3 + IARVEL Post-It Pad: peek drawings
This solution explains how to connect your PeekSmith 3 directly to the IARVEL Post-It Pad.
With this setup, anything written on the pad will appear instantly on your PeekSmith 3 screen – no app or phone required during performance.
What You Need
- PeekSmith 3 (charged and turned on)
- IARVEL Post-It Pad (charged and turned on)
Step 1 – Power On
- Turn on your PeekSmith 3. You should see the startup screen.
- Turn on the IARVEL Post-It Pad using its power button.
Step 2 – Pair the Devices
- On your PeekSmith 3, open the Devices menu (long press the middle button).
- Scroll through the available devices until you see IARVEL Pad.
- Press the middle button to connect.
- Once connected, your PeekSmith 3 will show a confirmation.
Step 3 – Test the Connection
- Ask someone to draw or write something on the Post-It Pad.
- The strokes should appear immediately on your PeekSmith 3 display.
If you see the drawing in real time, the connection is complete.
Troubleshooting
- No signal: Make sure both devices are powered on and within a few meters of each other.
- Device not listed: Restart the IARVEL Pad and try scanning again.
- Laggy drawing: Move closer – Bluetooth range is about 5-10 meters.
Performance Ideas
- Drawing Duplication: Spectator draws anything on the Post-It Pad; you duplicate it on stage.
- Word Revelation: Ask a spectator to write a word secretly. You peek the word from your PeekSmith 3 and later reveal it as a prediction.
