RoPE POI

Guide · Performance

You spin. The light draws.

RoPE POI are digital light-up poi with a glowing rope. As you spin, they draw pixel patterns, and in your hand they behave like semi-static poi. You control them with the button or the app, and several props can play together.

What’s in the box

• RoPE POI in your configuration (single, pair or triple)
• USB cable
• sticker
• a spare USB cover for each poi — each poi has one cover fitted and one spare is in the box (a pair of poi = 4 covers in total)

Rope care

Tangles shorten the life of the rope

Some trick families, tangles in particular, shorten the life of the rope. A repair kit for RoPE POI is available (one kit per poi).

Troubleshooting

The poi go dark when unplugged from the charger

That is expected. When you unplug the USB cable, the charging chip restarts and the circuit switches off. Switch the poi on with the button.

The poi do not light up even after pressing the button

Connect them to the charger — on the charger they are switched on and can light up. Let them charge (about 2 hours with a 2 A charger), unplug them and switch them on with the button. If they still do not light up, email us with a short video: pressing the button on the charger and after unplugging.

The button is pushed in or does not respond

Do not use force and do not take the poi apart. Send us a photo or a short video of the button and we will agree on the next steps.

The app cannot find the poi

Check that the poi are switched on (after unplugging, switch them on with the button), that Bluetooth is on and that you are close by. More tips in app troubleshooting.

The rope is worn or damaged

You can repair the rope with the RoPE POI repair kit. Email us and we will advise you how to proceed.

The device does not respond

Try a restart: connect the device to the charger, unplug the cable after a moment (the circuit switches off) and switch it on with the button. Details in Restart and reset.
