Troubleshooting the Yellow Blinking Light

If you see a Slow Blinking Yellow light, the glove is powered and connected to your network but cannot "see" Rokoko Studio. Please check the following:

  • Ensure Rokoko Studio is open and running on your PC.
  • Verify that the IP Address and Port in the Studio settings match your network configuration.
  • Check your Firewall settings to ensure Rokoko Studio has permission to receive data.

  • Connection Unsuccessful (Dual band): Slow Blinking Magenta
  • Connection Unsuccessful (2.4 GHz): Slow Blinking Blue.
  • Firmware Update in Progress: Fast Blinking Yellow.
  • Wi-Fi Update in Progress: Fast Blinking Cyan
  • Update Failed: Blinks Red for 3 seconds, then returns to previous state.

When you assign the glove to an Actor Profile in Rokoko Studio, the LED Ring will illuminate with the Profile color assigned to that actor.
