To link your account to an Octopodd, press the “Scan” button and use your phone’s camera to scan the QR code located on the front of the Octopodd. The first user to scan this QR code becomes the administrator, ideally it should be an instructor. If you need to add more instructors to the same Octopodd, please contact us.
Subsequent users will join this Octopodd’s community and gain access to various features: session registrations, access to the news feed, and more.
The “Admin” tab is accessible only if you are an Octopodd administrator. This interface provides an overview of the advanced tools at your disposal, such as session planning, the drill list, the exercise creator, and user management.
The “Sessions” menu is the training session planning tool. The administrator can create, modify, or delete sessions here, which users can then register for.
The “Drills” menu provides access to a wide selection of default drills. You can also create custom drills within this menu.
The “Exercises” menu is the tool for creating custom exercises.
On the first use, a tutorial will guide you through its various features. You can intuitively add events and organize them in chronological order.
The “Users” menu displays a list of all users linked to your Octopodd, along with their contact information.
To start the Octopodd, connect it to a fully charged portable battery or directly to a power outlet using a USB cable. The power supply is through a USB Type-C port.
