Troubleshooting iPads or Android Tablets Failing to Connect in VEXcode IQ (1st gen)

In VEXcode IQ, it is possible that the tablet will not detect the IQ Brain but that the IQ Brain will show a connection (via the solid arrows). 

Two screenshots side by side, one shows the Brain menu in VEXcode IQ and the other shows the IQ (1st gen) Brain's screen. The VEXcode IQ Brain menu shows the Smart Radio Connection option with the code entered, but below it says that there is no Brain connected and it is still trying to connect. The (1st gen) Brain screen shows the Smart Radio connection icon above, as if it is properly connected to VEXcode IQ.

When this happens, you will need to reconnect by tablet to the VEX IQ Brain by taking the following actions:

  • Power cycle the brain.
  • If that did not work, close the application and reopen it after 10 seconds.
  • If that did not work, remove and Re-Enter the Brain ID number into the Smart Radio Connection interface.
