Quick Start

The Mecha Comet is a modular, handheld Linux computer. We are pumped to know that you already have one with you, now lets jump right in.

1

Press the power (⏻) button on the right side of the device for a brief second. You will see a green LED turn on and the display will show the Mecha logo.

If your device doesn't turn on

It's possible that your device's battery is fully discharged. You don't need a special charger, any standard USB (5V or 12V) than can deliver minimum 2A of current will do.

2

The device will continue to boot for 10-15 seconds, you may see boot animation in between and eventually the home screen will appear like shown below.

3

Now lets get your Comet connected to your Wi-Fi. Swipe up from the the bottom of the home screen to open the App Drawer, and from there launch the Settings App.

4

Navigate to Network, and turn on Wireless using the toggle (if not already on). You will see available networks around you.

5

Tap on your network (or your neighbors 🤐) and you will be asked to enter the password. Do your thing and hit the ✔️ button to get connected. Once connected you should see the WiFi icon on the status bar light up and show the strength.

6

Go back to the home screen using the Home button on top right of the device, and navigate to your favorite website.

Well done, you are now on the internet 🎉
