Initial Wi-Fi Setup for VEX AIM#

This page explains how to connect your computer directly to the VEX AIM Coding Robot using its built-in Access Point mode. In this mode, the robot creates its own Wi-Fi network, allowing your device to connect without needing a separate router or internet connection.

4. Enable Access Point#

The icon will turn green when enabled.

A circular screen on the VEX AIM interface with the Access Point tile in the center, showing a check mark in a green circle at the bottom of the screen. The tile has a white icon of a robot and laptop connected by signal on an orange diamond, indicating Access Point mode is selected.

5. Open the Access Point Information#

Once AP mode is enabled, press the Access Point icon to open the Access Point Information menu.

A circular screen displaying Access Point details on the VEX AIM. The screen lists the MAC address, robot name, Wi-Fi SSID, and IP address 192.168.4.1 in white text on a solid dark blue background. A curved arrow at the bottom indicates a back or return function.

The lines are as follows:

  1. MAC Address

  2. Wi-Fi Network SSID

  3. Wi-Fi Network Password

  4. Wi-Fi Network IP Address

By default, the robot’s IP Address will always be 192.168.4.1.

6. Connect to the Robot’s Wi-Fi#

On your computer, connect to the Network SSID shown in the Access Point Information menu, using the listed Wi-Fi Password.

Note: Connecting to the robot’s Wi-Fi network will disconnect you from any other Wi-Fi networks currently in use.

If you plan to run projects using Access Point mode, no further network setup is required. You can proceed with accessing the VEX AIM WebSocket Library.
