StudioX / StudioXm is the app that allows to fully configure your MICROBEAST PLUS, Spektrum AR7210BX and NANOBEAST (coming soon). You can use it to do all the configuration from the computer or smartphone, to backup settings, load preconfigured setups and do a lot more. Please note for older device like MICROBEAST, AR7200, AR7300 you must use StudioX Version 2.2.4, as well as when you have a MICROBEAST PLUS or SPEKTRUM AR72120BX with firmware version 4.x.x or lower. Instructions for the old (deprecated) StudioX Version 2 can be found by clicking [[StudioX/en|here]].<br />

'''Make sure to give the App privileges for using the bluetooth connection and to write data to the internal storage.'''<br />
With iOS you will be asked to grant privileges at first start up. On Android devices sometimes it may be necessary to do this manually in the application settings! (When the StudioX App is not allowed to write to the internal storage, your user specific settings won't be saved, i.e. language and port settings, device names, storing RestorePoints, etc.) Also make sure to allow the App access your internet connection in case you want to download firmware update files for your device. Note this may produce extra costs when using your mobile data connection!<br />
<br />
To connect your BEASTX controller with your smartphone/tablet the BLE2SYS bluetooth smart interface is required. This is plugged into your device's SYS port and is used to establish a wireless communication to the phone.

Since Version 15.7.0 you can also use the BLE2SYS interface for a wireless connection to your BEASTX device (only in combination with macOS or Windows 10/11 64-bit versions!). On the computer side a built-in or external bluetooth module (Bluetooth 5.0 compatible or better) is required. If your computer doesn't have a bluetooth module, you can get cheap bluetooth 5.0 USB sticks from your local hardware store.<br />

==Windows installation==
If not already done power up radio and MICROBEAST PLUS. Connect the BLE2SYS interface to the [SYS] port. Then click "Connect button" on the start screen of StudioXm when the BLE2SYS is found (for further information refer to the [[StudioXm/en|StudioXm instructions]]). Wait until the data is loaded from the device and initialization sequence is finished. At first the system will calibrate to the radio system, Menu LEDs H to N will cycle up and down at the device and you can read "Radio init" in the opening overview size. '''During this time do not move the sticks on your radio as the system is learning the stick mid positions.''' In the second step MICROBEAST PLUS checks if the sensors are working correctly and learns the sensor rest positions. Here Menu LEDs A to G will cycle up and down and you can read "Sensor init" in the opening overview size. '''During this time do not move the helicopter.''' When initialization is completed the Status LED will change to blue or purple color indicating the current gyro mode and you can read the gyro gain and mode in the App. If you can't get through the initialization sequence either because LEDs A-G or LEDs H-N don't stop cycling please read [[Help:FAQ:Powerup/en|the FAQ]]. Note that during initialization pressing the button has no significant effect and you will not be able to enter any menu.<br />
The setup procedure is easy and works as usual. After installation of the StudioX software bundle, Windows should install the correct drivers automatically when the USB2SYS / SPMA3030 interface is plugged in the USB port for the first time. When using the RX2SIM Multi-Sim Adapter, drivers should install as soon as it is switched to USB2SYS emulation mode (push button repeatedly until LED lights yellow, see RX2SIM manual). Check the notifications of your Windows system:

|style="padding:10px 20px;"|[[File:Driver success.png|x50px|noframe|none]]
|}<br />
<br />
If you did not see any message popping up at all, check you Windows device manager if the interface driver has been installed correctly. To access the device manager under windows type devmgmt.msc in the Startmenu's search bar or simply enter '''Device manager'''.
You must be able to find following entry:<br />

StudioX allows to fully configure your MICROBEAST/MICROBEAST PLUS/MICROBEAST ULTRA, Spektrum AR7210BX and NANOBEAST. You can use it to do all the configuration from the computer or smartphone, to backup settings, load preconfigured setups and do a lot more. In addition you can perform some basic adjustments on older devices like MICROBEAST and Spektrum AR7200BX/AR7300BX.

Please make sure to always use the latest version in order to be compatible with latest device firmware updates!




Smartphone/tablet

If not already done, download and install the latest version of StudioXm from the Apple iTunes Store or GooglePlay Store:


Make sure to give the App privileges for using the bluetooth connection and to write data to the internal storage.
With iOS you will be asked to grant privileges at first start up. On Android devices sometimes it may be necessary to do this manually in the application settings! (When the StudioX App is not allowed to write to the internal storage, your user specific settings won't be saved, i.e. language and port settings, device names, storing RestorePoints, etc.) Also make sure to allow the App access your internet connection in case you want to download firmware update files for your device. Note this may produce extra costs when using your mobile data connection!

To connect your BEASTX controller with your smartphone/tablet the BLE2SYS bluetooth smart interface is required. This is plugged into your device's SYS port and is used to establish a wireless communication to the phone.



Windows PC/mac

If not already done you can get StudioX here:

BEASTX website


To connect your BEASTX device to the computer you need one of the following USB interfaces:


Since Version 15.7.0 you can also use the BLE2SYS interface for a wireless connection to your BEASTX device (only in combination with macOS or Windows 10/11 64-bit versions!). On the computer side a built-in or external bluetooth module (Bluetooth 5.0 compatible or better) is required. If your computer doesn't have a bluetooth module, you can get cheap bluetooth 5.0 USB sticks from your local hardware store.

To access the device manager under windows type devmgmt.msc in the Startmenu's search bar or simply enter Device manager. You must be able to find following entry:


In case the drivers did not install correctly please install the SiLabs CP210x VCP drivers from here: SiLabs driver package (Windows).


macOS installation

When opening the StudioX .pkg file you may get a message that installation is not allowed. In this case please click the .pkg file with the right mouse button. Then choose "Open". Now you will see the similar message but this time you can choose "Open".



In case your USB2SYS is not displayed in StudioX (Device: "cu.SLAB_USBtoUART") the drivers did not install correctly. Please install the SiLabs CP210x VCP drivers from here: SiLabs driver package (macOS).
