Quick Start

This is the fastest path to a working CoreSnap setup.

The goal is simple: get a device into the platform, match it to the right hardware profile, push the right assets, and make sure everything is behaving the way you expect.

What you need

• Access to the CoreSnap web application at app.coresnap.net
• A user account that can work with devices
• A supported device
• The correct board profile for your hardware
• The device's DeviceId and DeviceKey

Recommended first-run flow

1. Sign in to the web application.
2. Create or confirm the device type you want to work with.
3. Add a new device record.
4. Power on the device and connect to its local setup Wi-Fi hotspot (provisioning mode).
5. Open the device setup page in your browser and enter:
   • Wi-Fi SSID
   • Wi-Fi password
   • DeviceId
   • DeviceKey
6. Save and let the device reboot, then confirm it connects to your Wi-Fi and appears online in CoreSnap.
7. Assign the correct board profile.
8. If the device still needs firmware, flash or update it using the appropriate guide for your hardware.
9. Apply the initial configuration.
10. Upload sounds, playlists, or animations if your device uses them.
11. Verify the device appears healthy and responds as expected.

Expected result

By the end of this flow, the device should be provisioned to your Wi-Fi, authenticated with CoreSnap using DeviceId and DeviceKey, linked to the right board profile, configured correctly, and prepared for media-driven behavior where needed.

If you are blocked

• If you cannot sign in, see Troubleshooting.
• If the device cannot be added or found, see Add a Device.
• If the device does not come online after local setup, verify Wi-Fi credentials and device credentials, then retry provisioning.
• If flashing or firmware access is the blocker, check Flash from the Browser and Upload Firmware.
• If configuration fails, go to the related guide and re-check the basics before trying again.
