Atom + Bond (Pi Revelations)
This solution explains how to use Atom 2 together with Bond for a powerful Pi Revelations routine.
With this setup, pressing a button on Atom will instantly display digits from the number π (Pi) on your Bond screen.
No phone or app is required during performance.
What You Need
- Atom 2 Smart Remote (charged and turned on)
- Bond (charged and turned on)
Step 1 - Direct Connection
- By default, Atom automatically connects to the first Bond (PeekSmith-class device) available.
- No app or manual pairing is needed.
- Once connected, Atom buttons can send digits of Pi directly to Bond.
Tip: If you want to adjust settings (like how many digits are shown), you can configure Atom in the PeekSmith app beforehand.
Step 2 - Using Atom for Pi
When Atom is connected to Bond:
- Each button press sends a sequence of digits from Pi.
- The digits appear on Bond’s display in real time.
- You can control how many digits appear per button press (configurable in the app).
Step 3 - Performance Flow
- Ask the spectator to name a position in Pi (for example, “the 30th digit”).
- Secretly press the Atom button until that position is reached.
- Bond displays the digits, giving you the answer instantly.
- You can then “reveal” their chosen digit or sequence as if by memory.
Troubleshooting
- Nothing shows on Bond: Make sure both devices are on. Restart Atom to force a reconnection.
- Atom connects to the wrong device: If multiple PeekSmith-class devices are nearby, configure Atom in the PeekSmith app to lock to your Bond.
- Digits scroll too quickly/slowly: Adjust the Pi display speed in Atom’s settings inside the app.
FAQ
Do I need the app during the show?
- No. The app is only needed for configuration. Performance works with direct Atom → Bond connection.
Can I choose how many digits show at once?
- Yes. In the PeekSmith app, under Atom settings, you can configure the number of digits per press.
Can Atom control other features of Bond at the same time?
- No. In Pi mode, Atom is dedicated to sending Pi digits only.
Can I use Pi Revelations with PeekSmith 3 instead of Bond?
- Yes. Atom works with both PeekSmith 3 and Bond, since they share the same connection type.
