Wait while the RoboWrists connect and synchronize with RoboCap.

Check the right LED on each RoboWrist to see its status:

Wait until the right LED on both RoboWrists is solid red before continuing.

3. Put On the Wristbands

Put the RoboWrist wristbands on your left and right wrists.

Adjust each wristband so it fits securely and comfortably without restricting your movement.

4. Attach the RoboWrists

Check the marking on each RoboWrist before attaching it:

L → Left wrist
R → Right wrist

Attach each RoboWrist securely to its corresponding wristband.

Make sure both devices remain firmly attached while you move your hands and wrists.

Put on RoboCap and adjust the strap until it sits securely and comfortably on your head.

Before recording, confirm that:

Once all devices are ready, you can start recording.

6. Start Recording

Press the Operation Button on RoboCap once. RoboCap will start recording and trigger data collection across the synchronized devices.

You can confirm that recording has started by checking the lights:

RoboCap	🟢 Green
RoboWrist – Right LED	🔵 Slowly blinking blue

Once you see these indicators, RoboCap and both RoboWrists are recording.

The indicator light will go through the following sequence:

🟢 Green → 🔴 Red → 🔵 Blue → 🔴 Red

🟢 Green – Recording in progress

🔴 Final Red – Recording has been fully saved

On the RoboWrists

The right LED will return to solid red, indicating that recording has stopped.
