Device Setup

Babbeleaf includes an integrated control interface accessible through a standard web browser. The interface is divided into logical sections that let you configure, monitor, and interact with the device in real time.

Accessing the Interface

When powered on, Babbeleaf creates its own Wi-Fi access point (AP mode). You can connect directly to this network from any phone, tablet, or desktop. Alternatively, you can join the device to your local Wi-Fi network using the Wi-Fi settings page.

Once connected, open your browser and navigate to the IP address displayed on the interface. You will see the main Control Panel, where signal monitoring and recording begin.

Navigation Overview

The interface includes several dedicated pages, each with a specific role. Together, they form the core of the setup process:

• Wi-Fi: Connect Babbeleaf to an existing network or configure access point behavior.
• Bluetooth: Pair with wireless headphones, speakers, or audio interfaces.
• Audio: Choose recording format, sample rate, bit depth, and streaming options.
• Files: Browse, download, or delete waveform recordings from the device.
• Settings: Check battery status, software version, and perform firmware updates.

Configuration Tips

• Connect to Wi-Fi first for automatic time sync and firmware update options.
• Enable Bluetooth to stream audio to an external speaker (internal speaker is muted when Bluetooth is active).
• Adjust gain and recording format before capturing your first signal to avoid over-amplification.
• Waveform files are stored locally and can be managed from the Files page or uploaded to your user gallery.

Next Steps

Once you're comfortable with the interface layout, you can explore each configuration page in more detail using the links above or the sidebar menu. For a live demonstration, clip Babbeleaf to a plant and visit the Control Panel to begin monitoring real-time signals.
