Testing guide — MysterSmith v2.2.71

Looking for the latest?

This is the archived v2.2.71 testing guide. For the current build, see Testing guide — v2.3.11.

Thank you for helping test the new build! :-) This page is a step-by-step checklist covering everything added or fixed since v2.2.41. You don't have to test everything — pick the areas that match your devices and workflow.

Before you start

  • Note your platform (Android / iOS), the app version, and (for recognition tests) the text-recognition engine you're using.
  • When something doesn't work as described, a screenshot and a short note (what you did → what happened) is a huge help.

Each item is a checkbox: ☐ = still to test, tick it once you've confirmed it works. Steps are marked Do, and what you should see is marked Expect.

1. DICE SCREEN

  • Open the DICE SCREEN with one die connected → Expect: the die value shows as a single large, centred icon.
  • Connect several dice and open the screen → Expect: all values show at once, auto-scaled so they fit the screen without overflowing or clipping.
  • Roll the dice while the screen is open → Expect: the icons update to the new values with no flicker or flashing.
  • Read the status line at the bottom → Expect: it reflects the routine state (waiting / started / finished).
  • Long-press with one finger for ~2 seconds → Expect: the DICE SCREEN exits, exactly like the BLACK screen.
  • Try a phone and a tablet (and rotate the device) → Expect: the dice stay centred and readable at any size.

2. Routine START modes

Set the mode under DICE INPUT → Routine START.

  • Set to automatic and arm the routine → Expect: the routine starts as before, and your peek displays receive START.
  • Set to all dice show 1, then roll every die to 1 → Expect: the routine starts only then, and the peek text is *ALL 1*.
  • Set to all dice show 6, then roll every die to 6 → Expect: the routine starts only then, and the peek text is *ALL 6*.
  • Set to manually and fire the manual trigger → Expect: the routine starts, peek text is MANUAL.
  • Open Performance Mode (START ROUTINE) with any non-automatic mode set → Expect: the dice routine does NOT start on its own — it waits for the chosen trigger.

3. Show dice values

Set under DICE INPUT → Show dice values.

  • Set to always and roll → Expect: the rolled values appear on your peek display about 1 second after the roll settles (not mid-roll).
  • Roll several times quickly → Expect: only the settled value is sent — the 1-second debounce swallows the intermediate values.
  • Set to only on the DICE SCREEN → Expect: values are sent only while the DICE SCREEN is open, and nowhere else.
  • Set to only while the dice routine is active → Expect: values are sent only after the routine has started.

4. Finger actions (DICE SCREEN)

  • Open the FINGER ACTIONS sub-section under DICE INPUT and assign an action to each of the 8 gestures → Expect: each choice saves and reloads correctly.
  • On the DICE SCREEN, perform each configured tap / swipe → Expect: the matching action fires (same behaviour as the BLACK screen gestures).
  • Leave a gesture set to nothing and perform it → Expect: nothing happens, no error.

5. Action after screen started

  • Set Action after screen started on the DOODLE, BLACK, SWIPE, FAKE HOMESCREEN, DICE and FAKE PASSCODE screens (and Action after calculator started on the CALCULATOR) → Expect: each setting saves in its own screen's block (first row).
  • Open each screen in turn → Expect: the chosen action fires automatically shortly after the screen opens.
  • Leave one screen's action empty → Expect: opening it fires nothing, no error.

6. Auto-RESTART routine

  • Open the option → Expect: it is labelled Auto-RESTART (not the old "Reset routine after").
  • Set the value to 0 → Expect: the stepper and the row both display OFF.
  • Set a value (e.g. a few seconds), finish a routine → Expect: the routine auto-restarts after that delay.

7. Dice values & separators

What this fixes

Previously the action_dice_to_… actions only worked when the saved values had no separator between them.

  • Save dice values with no separator (e.g. 1234) and run a dice display action → Expect: all faces render correctly.
  • Save values with separators — commas, spaces or new lines (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4) — and run the same action → Expect: the numbers are extracted first, then the same faces render correctly.
  • Try this on several display devices (e-ink board, keychain, printer, Doodle screen) → Expect: consistent, correct output everywhere — no out-of-range or blank faces.

8. Remote control & connections

  • Open Remote Control button configuration and map buttons to actions → Expect: pressing each remote button fires the mapped action.
  • Set Auto-connect devices to All nearby devices, then My saved devices, then Saved for this routine → Expect: each mode connects the expected set of devices.
  • Turn an Ultra Sharpie Neo off and on, then let the app connect → Expect: it auto-connects despite its changed Bluetooth ID/name.
  • Enable Reverse swipe directions and use a swipe remote upside-down → Expect: swipe directions are inverted as expected.

9. Recognition

  • Set the handwriting orientation option and recognize a tilted word → Expect: orientation is handled per your setting.
  • Run the new Detect handwriting orientation action → Expect: the rotation is worked out without sending the page for recognition.
  • Recognize a blank page → Expect: it is never sent for recognition — no wasted A.I. call.
  • On a board that previously double-rotated upside-down pages, recognize one → Expect: a single correct rotation.

10. Other devices & fixes

  • Pair and print to the Paperang P3S (80mm) → Expect: it connects and prints correctly at full width.
  • On an Iarvel board, change Page aspect ratio → Calibrate → Expect: the change takes effect immediately, no restart needed.
  • Run a special-subject recognition (e.g. animal / signature / magic-square style actions) → Expect: it routes and returns a result correctly.
  • Check device nicknames in Settings → Expect: they display correctly.
  • Send original drawing + recognized text to the Lumen Prism → Expect: both display correctly together.
  • Open Settings → DEBUG CONSOLE (bottom of the page) → Expect: it shows critical errors, and stays empty in normal use.
  • Cold-start the app on Android → Expect: noticeably faster loading than before.

11. Regression checks

Quick confirmation that the reworked dice/routine logic didn't break the basics.

  • With Routine START on automatic, run a full routine start-to-finish → Expect: it behaves exactly as in v2.2.61.
  • Use DICE INPUT with each supported dice type (Spotted Dice, KMD, Pitata, BLE Dice, GoDice) → Expect: values are read correctly.
  • Open and exit the BLACK, DOODLE, SWIPE, FAKE HOMESCREEN, FAKE PASSCODE and CALCULATOR screens → Expect: each opens, runs its start action (if set), and exits cleanly.
  • Run an ACTION LIST that includes a dice display action → Expect: the whole chain runs in order.

Add-on requirements from 1 October 2026

While testing, note that from 1 October 2026 two add-ons become required for certain devices:

  • External Displays — for all PeekSmith models, Bond, MrCard, Teleport, Quantum, SB Watch 2
  • Advanced Input Methods — for Atom 2, all PeekSmith models, Bond, MrCard, Quantum, SB Watch 2, Ray, GhostMove

Everything else that's currently free stays free.

Thank you again for testing — your feedback shapes the final release! :-)
