Wombat: Connecting to iOS iPhone

Wombat: Connecting to iOS iPhone

  1. Turn on your Wombat. It may take up to a minute for the Wombat to fully boot. When this process is completed, the Wi-Fi icon on the Wombat will be solid blue.

  • Go to the Settings App. Tap Wi-Fi to bring up the Wi-Fi settings. Tap on Bad Elf Wombat to connect to it. The Wombat will connect, and it will show No Internet Connection. This is normal and expected. While the Wombat uses Wi-Fi as a bridge, it does not connect your iPad to the internet.

  1. Go now to the JDM App. At the top right of the page, you will see it says Wombat Not Connected. At this time, while the Wombat is connected to your iPhone, there is no data flowing through to the JDM App. It should begin to flash yellow, then green, when it becomes connected.

  2. If JDM does not automatically start connecting, tap Wombat Not Connected to bring up the below screen. Tap Connect to begin the above process.


  3. The connection between your iPhone and the Wombat is now complete. You can see that Wombat Not Connected has changed to Wombat Connected, and the Bad Elf logo is present to the left of it. This is a visual indicator of a successful connection. Furthermore, the Download All option in the top right has disappeared, and the Download buttons are greyed out or changed to Transfer buttons.

  4. To check information about your Wombat you can tap Wombat Connected and see your hardware and firmware editions, as well as model and serial information.
