Web Interface

Program Development and operation of the Fusion System is all performed through a built-in Web-based Graphical User Interface (WebGUI). This section provides an overview of the Fusion Web Interface features and operations. It also includes links to the reference guides for the various environments you can use to develop programs or change settings on your Fusion.

Title Bar

The Title Bar is displayed at the top of every page of Fusion Web Interface:

Clicking on the icon in the upper left opens the Hamburger Menu:

  • The top of the Hamburger menu has the name of the current logged in account. For this example, we are logged in as the account named robot.admin.
  • Home brings you back to the homepage of the Web Interface.
  • Blockly brings you to the Blockly programming environment.
  • Editor brings you to the Editor text-based programming environment.
  • Documentation opens the Home Page of the Fusion Documentation Suite.
  • File Manager opens a simple file manager which allows you to perform basic file maintenance such as renaming, moving, and deleting files as well as copying them from the Fusion to your computer.
  • Diagnostic Tool opens the Fusion Diagnostic Tool. This simple interface allows you to manually check the operation of your Fusion, sensors, motors, and other devices as well as obtain system status information. this tool will almost always be used with the help of a support agent.
  • Settings brings your to a page where you can update the Fusion, modify wireless settings and manage users. You must be logged in as Administrator to access this feature.
  • About gives you contact information about Boxlight Robotics and MyBot.

To the right of the Hamburger Menu icon is: . The Mimio MyBot text is actually a clickable link which will take you back to the Fusion Home Page. To the immediate right, the name of the current page is displayed.

On the far right side of the Title Bar are a series of icons. Clicking these icons provides status on each item:

  • The Language indicator shows the current language setting for the interface. Clicking this indicator allows you to select from the available languages. (Note that not all screens may be translated into the new language.)
  • The Battery icon which represents the remaining battery level of the 6V Fusion Battery.
  • The Internet icon informs you if you have an internet connection.
  • The Wireless icon provides information about the wireless network your Fusion may be connected to. This is most valuable when connected to a Classroom Server such as the Mimio MicroCloud, or if an 802.11b/g/n USB Wi-Fi dongle is being used.
  • The Program Details icon is either in Play or Stop status. Click the icon for additional details.
  • The Power icon allows you to Logout, Power Off or Restart your Fusion. You should always use this button to Power Off your Fusion after use. This insures all files are properly saved and prevents data loss.
