Your Fidgets¶
Your Fidgets at cyberfidget.com/my-fidget/devices/ lists every Cyber Fidget on your account, plus any Fidget this browser knows from a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection. Open it from the account menu under your picture (Your Fidgets), or from the Your Fidgets > link on the My Fidget page. Signed out, the page asks you to sign in.
To add a Fidget to the list, link it. Link a new Fidget at the bottom of the page opens the link page.
What each Fidget shows¶
Each Fidget has a tab with its name, the last four characters of its ID, and a label:
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Managed by you | Linked to your account. |
| On this browser | Only this browser knows it, from a USB connection. It is not linked. |
| Linked elsewhere | Someone linked it to a different account, so it no longer gets your changes. |
For a linked Fidget, the tab shows its name, board, firmware version, last check-in (for example just now, yesterday, or a date), how it checks in, and how many changes are waiting. The check-in line reads Everyday - checks in on its own schedule, or Dev mode - checks in every few seconds / Always on - checks in every few seconds while Dev mode is on. Anything the Fidget has not reported yet shows not known yet.
The Device card lists the changes waiting for that Fidget (new apps, new versions, hidden or shown apps, menu order). A linked Fidget receives them the next time it checks in; see Updates. A Fidget only this browser knows receives them when you plug it in over USB, or once you link it (Link it to your account).
On the My Fidget page¶
The My Fidget page shows a card for each Fidget, with one status line:
| Status line | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Plugged in - changes send instantly | The Fidget is connected over USB, so changes go straight to it. |
| N changes waiting - picks them up at its next check-in | Changes are queued for a linked Fidget; it collects them over WiFi. |
| Up to date | Nothing is waiting. |
| Hasn't checked in since ... | The Fidget has not checked in for a while; the line gives the date and time of its last check-in. |
If you plug in a different Fidget from the one on screen, the page says Another Fidget (xxxx) is plugged in, with the last four characters of its ID. Choose Show it to switch to that Fidget, or Not now to stay where you are.
Send to my Fidget sends your changes over USB. It never restarts a Fidget the page already recognises. If the Fidget is busy with its own WiFi check-in, the page waits, then checks whether the Fidget already received the changes that way before sending them again.
To use a Fidget without the cable, see Link it from the My Fidget page.
Arrange the menu¶
The menu you arrange on My Fidget uses the same sections as the Fidget's own menu. Installed apps can be moved out of their section to the top level, where they appear under Apps. Built-in apps always stay in a section. If you place installed apps at the top level in more than one run, the later runs show as Apps (continued) until the Fidget regroups them.
Rename¶
Choose Rename, type a new name, and select Save. Names can be 1 to 24 characters. For a linked Fidget the new name is saved to your account and this browser uses it too; for a Fidget only this browser knows, only this browser's copy changes.
Download what is on this Fidget¶
For a linked Fidget, Download what is on this Fidget asks it to report what it has. The Fidget answers at its next check-in, over WiFi, so the button waits and says Waiting for your Fidget to send what it has - it happens at its next check-in. Keep that Fidget's tab open; the page looks for the answer every 10 seconds. To hurry it along, choose Check for updates on the Fidget.
When the answer arrives, the browser saves fidget-<last4>-installed.json (named with the last four characters of the Fidget's identifier), a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file with the Fidget's app list as it reported it and the app files your account has a copy of. The page confirms how many items it downloaded and when they were reported. If the Fidget reports an app your account has no file for, the page lists it under Not available. Built-in apps are listed but not included, and changes still waiting to be sent are not part of the download.
The file is a record of the device, not a Studio project. See Keeping and sharing your work.
Update firmware¶
Update firmware opens the website update page, which installs firmware over USB. For updates over WiFi, see Updates. To go back to an earlier version, erase and reinstall, or reset a Fidget to factory, see Update or reset your Fidget.
Unlink, remove, or forget¶
| Action | Shown for | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Unlink | A linked Fidget | After you confirm with Unlink this Fidget, the Fidget stops getting your changes until it is linked again. Changes still waiting for it are discarded; apps already on it stay. |
| Remove | A linked Fidget that has not checked in for over 30 days | The page says Not seen since and the date. After you confirm with Remove this Fidget, it leaves your account, as with Unlink. |
| Remove | A Fidget marked Linked elsewhere | Clears it from your list. The other account is never shown. |
| Forget on this browser | Any Fidget this browser has saved details for | Removes its saved apps and pending changes from this browser only. Nothing is sent to your account or the Fidget; a linked Fidget stays linked. |
To link a Fidget again after unlinking or removing it, open Settings > Link on the Fidget. You can also unlink from the Fidget itself; see Unlink or pass it on.
