Leica Cyclone Field 360 App Error

Post by kamac93 »

Hey guys,

I have updated my iPad Pro to the latest iOS and installed the new Field 360 update.

Every time I try to connect my BLK360 to the Field 360 Application, I enter the IP Address and click connect, the dialogue box then drops down and becomes hidden and nothing happens. When I try to connect it again, there is a default IP Address that remains in the dialogue box and then I try to change it back to the correct value which was entered originally and click 'connect' again. Similarly, the dialogue box closes and nothing happens and this process is repeated with an increased propagation of frustration each time.

I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and knows how to solve it?

Thanks :)

Have you also updated the FW on the unit?

Also try this (simple as it seems)

1. Close the app
2. Go to wifi settings on tablet
3. Connect to the scanner wifi (using password on inside flap of BLK360)
4. Start the app again
5. When the icons (top right) change from gray to white, FIELD360 is connected

You should not be seeing the manual IP address dialogue box.

Any luck?

This one got me today as well. 40 second scans on the BLK might give it a second wind :like:

Using Cyclone FIELD 360 also means that you can take BLK360 scans without taking images... something which was not possible in the past. Should speed things up and reduce overall file sizes for transfer.

Has anyone used the BLK360 with Cyclone FIELD 360 yet? If so, what feedback do you have?

Hi,

We use the new app with our BLK360 since a week and we are very satisfied. It speeds up the whole process.

In the past we used the matterport-app for collecting data in the field but there were a lot of scans without registration in the app and we had to do the registration progress in Register 360 again. The registration with recap on the IPad was terrible. Now it’s much better.

The only issue we have are al lot of crashes of Field 360 if you scan with high resolution.

Really positive!
But we only tested it in the office.
I still have to understand if it slows down the process.

I do not see the value of using Field360 with the BLK360 vs using Recap Pro
For context we are a large General Contractor and I view the BLK as a scanner for simpler tasks and model checking. No as-builts, no large scale scan projects. I like it as a tool to check models and identify issues that might need a real scanner to come out and As-Built something.

A few reasons I prefer Recap Pro vs Field 360:
1. faster download times
2. IT blocks wifi connection to Field360
3. Recap Pro is easier to get to the final product of a Recap file
4. Don't see the advantage as everyone in our department has Recap Pro vs only our Reality Capture team has Register 360.
5. I see the BLK as our scanner to send out with anyone or assign to project teams. I don't want a ton of Register 360 licenses, not worth the cost vs Recap.

Thank you for the feedback. Please ensure you pass the last issue onto your local support team to see if we can resolve this. As I mostly scan on Medium I have not seen such an issue.
