Resetting the EmbroideryConnect device

To do a factory reset of your WiFi Device:

Plug the device into your computer and insert a hairpin into the Reset aperture on the side. The device state indicator turns white to show that the reset has started.

Hold for 10 seconds. This restores the device to whatever firmware it was initially programmed with. The EmbroideryConnect device can then be reconfigured using EmbroideryHub Hatch Edition.

Make sure the settings on your wireless router allow communication between wireless devices. Please refer to the reference manual of your router. 

WiFi network is not displayed during EmbroideryConnect device setup

If your WiFi is not displayed on the Add new EmbroideryConnect process (Step 3.) try the following:

Close the Add New EmbroideryConnect dialogue, wait a few seconds, restart the Add New EmbroideryConnect

Try moving the EmbroideryConnect device somewhere in the range of the network

Even though your computer maybe able to see the WiFi network the device may not have the same range.

Designs sent to EmbroideryConnect device are not found on the machine

-       Reconfiguring the memory size. Most machines accept the default capacity of 8MB but some older machines require smaller sizes such as 4MB or floppy disk size (1.44MB). This can take up to 30 seconds to change

-       Emulate other devices. The EmbroideryConnect device can emulate other types of devices. Some machines can only read designs from YE-DATA or Sandisk.

-       Disabling the serial interface. By default, devices have the USB serial interface enabled in order to configure them on EmbroideryHub. It is best to leave the setting activated in case you need to reconfigure the device. However, if the embroidery machine has a problem with WiFi and serial          interface, you may need to disable it eg with the EmbroideryConnect device connected, the machine may lock up and display an unexpected message.

Cannot send designs to the WiFi Device

If designs cannot be sent from your Hatch software to a device that has been setup and attached to your machine ensure that the EmbroideryHub Hatch Edition is open on a computer in the same network as the EmbroideryConnect device was setup on.
