Set up a puck

Type your Wi-Fi details once, then give them to the puck whichever way suits the room: sing them across the air, send them down a USB cable, or carry them to your phone with the code. Nothing is sent over the internet either way.

Off: nothing is kept, and the page is empty again next time. On: your network name and password are stored by this browser, on this device, so repeated setups do not mean retyping them. Untick to erase them.

Fill both fields, then choose how to send them.

Fill both fields and this becomes a code. Scan it with a phone to open this same page there, ready to chirp — useful when the puck is nowhere near the computer.

How to use it

  1. Power the puck and wait for it to show the setup screen.
  2. Hold this device within about half a metre, speaker facing it.
  3. Turn the volume up — most of the way, not maximum. Distortion loses bits.
  4. Press play. It takes a few seconds and sounds like a 1980s tape loading.
  5. The puck says what it heard and joins. If nothing happens, try Send four times.

Nothing leaves this page. The credentials are turned into sound in your browser and never uploaded — this file works with the network disconnected.
