Explaining the phone's flash signals during a sessionUpdated 6 hours ago

During a session, the flash indicator shows you what the system is doing in real time.

Each pattern has a clear meaning. Once you recognize them, you can react faster and avoid setup issues.


1. Detecting Ball State

  • Steady, consistent rhythm
  • The system is scanning for the ball position

What you should do:

  • Place the ball in view
  • Keep things still while it searches

2. Error Signal

  • Repeating flash pattern (faster bursts)
  • Indicates something needs attention

What it means:

  • Ball may be out of position
  • Setup may be incorrect
  • A specific error message is shown on screen

What you should do:

  • Check the on-screen message
  • Adjust ball position or setup
  • Listen for voice prompts
  • If using Apple Watch, check the error there

3. Pre-Ready State (Ball Detected)

  • Faster flashing sequence
  • Confirms the ball has been found

What you should do:

  • Do not move the ball
  • Let the system finish calibration

Small movements here can cause misreads.


4. Ready for Shot

  • Solid light (no flashing)
  • System is fully locked in

What you should do:

  • Take your shot

Quick Tip

If you’re stuck in a flashing state:

  • Reset your ball position
  • Check alignment
  • Watch for error messages
