Starting and Stopping the Built-in Mini-Apps
On power on, Atom doesn’t start a mini-app by default, but starts launch mode, and you have 5 seconds to start one of them, just click the button the app assigned to. Later, you can switch to launch mode by double-clicking the power button.
You can setup Atom to start the mini-app you prefer by pressing the power button and the app’s button together. You can clear this setting by pressing the power button and the #12 (Exit/Clear) button together.
In short:
- To start a built-in mini-app, press the power button twice (double click), then the dedicated button.
- To stop the mini-app is running, press the power button twice, and the EXIT button.
- To set up a mini-app to start on power-on, hold the power button, and press the dedicated button.
- To prevent the mini-app start on power-up, hold the power button and press CLR.
Settings
With the MagiScript editor you can configure the MagiScript device, and open the Settings modal.
The first tab is about configuring which app should be launched when you turn on Atom. It is the Atom Launcher by default, but you can select another built-in app or an app you persisted. You can also assign apps to the 1 – 6 buttons.
The second tab allows you to configure some mini-app-related settings. You can specify the PeekSmith ID or the SB Watch ID you would like to connect to. By default, these values are *, which means Atom will connect to the first device it finds. You can also set a time value called “Process After”. When you enter a value in the apps, most of them wait for a short time, so you can fix the value you entered. This is the “Process After” time. By default, it is 3000 ms, 3 seconds. Finally, you can specify which card stack you would like to use with the Atom Stack app (see later).
Finally, the third tab allows you to fine-tune vibrations. The first “Feedback Vibration” sets how the vibration works when you press a button. You can turn it off, or set 4 different values (which will make the vibration a bit shorter or longer). Vibration Strength sets the vibration level, also you can turn off vibrations. The other settings are related to vibration timing, for now, you might not want to change them.
All the changes will be saved when you hit the Save button, and ignored if you click the Cancel button.
