We’re glad we could help the Wand Makers to put the Instructional Videos online onto their Manual Page. Just hit the typewriter buttons for the instructional cards to appear.

We have also added them at the end of our extensive Manual.

I got mine this weekend and have been working on it since this morning. I’m running across two issues:

1. I’m having a rough time getting the rotations (1 and 2) right. Once I get one, I can repeat it or can go the other direction with ease, but I’m having a hard time with them. The one thing I’ve noted is that you need to rotate it only a very short distance, but it takes me a lot of messing around to get it to work the first time. My wife is having the same problem. We can both get all the other commands pretty reliably at this point.

2. When you pick the wand up, it starts sending commands as you move it into position. Is there a workaround for this?

Hmm I had no problems using the rotate actions. As Richard describes it in this forum post it takes about 90 degrees and no other actions to recognize the rotation.

I just kept my finger on the tip while picking it up :)

Ah, and perhaps put such requests into the forum where they can be more easily be followed, searched and answered :)

Happy casting

Yeah, discovered the forum after I posted this. Sorry about that!

Okay, here’s a question which isn’t troubleshooting:

How do you switch back and forth between Casting Mode and Practice Mode?

Practice mode is only available if there is no learned command for the gesture. So its meant to be used before starting to teach the wand.

There is a means to get rid of all commands as mentioned in the manual (do a big swish instead of teaching an IR command) – never tried that myself.

So Practice Mode is gesture by gesture — i.e. if I teach it a command for gesture 9, it’ll still do the Practice Mode thing for all the other gestures?

right, all the gestures that have no learned code pulse happily :)

Please help. I too have opened my wand this xmas morn and all gestures apart from rotation seem to be working?! Could the ‘clever but senstive switch/gyro thingy’ have been damaged in transit all the way to Australia?

Is there a way to do a global reset, recalibration?

How do you tell?
You can reset it easily by going into learning mode, then doing one gesture and when it starts pulsing rapidly just do a big swish, then there should be a big pulse and all programmed codes should be gone.

Hope that helps, if not drop me an email

We are having a hard time getting consistent results with all of the gestures… are they just really hard to learn? We have been trying for over a few hours.

Try the gestures in practice mode first. Perform all the gestures with minimal movements no big whirling around. Try to master the simple gestures first. You can also drop us an email or we’ll try this via skype.
