==When trying to install StudioX I get an error message that "vc_redistx.exe" is missing. What's that?==

==Studiox will not download or install on Windows computer==
On Windows systems StudioX needs the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime environment (Version 2017) in order to be executed. When your system is not up to date, it may happen that this environment is not installed on your computer, or only a different version is installed. Please install the Visual C++ invironment, you can find the necessary setup file in the StudioX Folder on your harddrive (usually C:\Program Files\BEASTX\StudioX or C:\Program Files(x86)\BEASTX\StudioX):<br />

When using a 32bit Windows System you need to install the vc_redist.x86.exe.
 +
When using a 64bit system please install both versions vc_redist.x86.exe and vc_redist.x64.exe!<br />
 
<br />
 
<br />
Note that when using a 32bit Windows System you need to install the vc_redist.x86.exe as well as when using a 64bit system with the 32bit StudioX Version. Only when using a 64bit Windows System, in combination with StudioX x64, you have to install the vc_redist.x64.exe instead!<br />

It seems you're using a very old Windows Version (Windows 7, Windows Vista, ...). It is highly recommended to use a new Windows! Nevertheless you can install the 32bit Version of StudioX, this should still work with your outdated Windows. Only the 64bit Version of StudioX requires Windows 10 or newer.<br />

* Make sure the wiring is connected correctly. The servo wire coming from the USB interface goes into SYS port on your MICROBEAST PLUS / AR7210BX. Watch out for correct polarity and '''make sure that the device is powered from a receiver battery or BEC''' (only when using the RX2SIM interface the BEASTX device can be powered from the USB port!).

Watch out for correct polarity and '''make sure that the device is powered from a receiver battery or BEC''' (only when using the RX2SIM interface the BEASTX device can be powered from the USB port!).
* When using a smartphone the BLE2SYS interface must be connected to the SYS port, watch out for correct polarity. Make sure the LED on the BLE2SYS flashes in intervals of 2 seconds. By default the interface deactivates after 30 seconds when there is no connection. In this case the LED is off. You have to cylce power in order to reactivate the device.
+
* Using Windows check the port settings in Windows Device Manager (Press Start and type "Device Manger"). In Device Manager right click ''Silabs CP210x USB to UART'' which is the driver for the USB2SYS interface and choose ''Properties''. In ''Properties'' open the tab ''Port settings'' and make sure the settings are as shown below (115200 baud, 8, none, 1, none). Then click ''Advanced...'' and check FiFo settings. As shown here, you can optimize the serial connection by moving the sliders. Give it a try and test different settings. On our machines, all sliders are moved to the left but you may need different settings.<br />

* When LED on BLE2SYS is flashing repeatedly in short intervals the device is locked due to wrong pin code. Also in this case, power cycle and try again.

Usually when you click "Connect" button, the LED on the BLE2SYS must light up solid blue and data transfer should be displayed in the Studiox app. When LED goes off and you get the message "No device found", power off everything and again check for proper connection between BLE2SYS and MICROBEAST SYS port. Completely close the StudioX app (on iPhone double tap Home button and swipe StudioX app away, on Android hold menu button and swipe app away). Then power on Microbeast and BLE2SYS. Start StudioX app again and try again. Ideally BLE2SYS should be selected already in the menu bar, so just click "Connect" button immediately when app opens.<br />

* Click "Rescan" to start searching for bluetooth device in StudioX. Usually you should see some device called "BLE2SYS". But the name can be different especially when you've bought a used device from someone else. There can be other devices with long numbers like "Unknown{(12345....)}". Do not try to connect to those, these are different bluetooth devices around that can't be indentified.<br />
