Web UI

Overview

Hovermap provides a user interface, known as the Web UI. You can use the Web UI to:

• Remotely start and stop a scan. This is useful when physical access to the unit is inconvenient (for instance, if Hovermap is mounted on a backpack, or on a vehicle bonnet while driving).

• Set the scan name.

• Set the time on Hovermap.

• Find out how much storage space is available on the internal solid-state drive.

• Update firmware.

• Download files.

1. Connect Hovermap to a power source (14 to 54 VDC, 60W).

2. Press the power button on the back of the Hovermap to power on the unit.

3. On your tablet or smartphone, open the Wi-Fi settings and connect to Hovermap’s Wi-Fi. Hovermap creates a Wi-Fi network with the name of the serial number of the unit.
   For example, for Hovermap ST0035 the network name will be st_0035.

4. Enter the network password: hovermap

5. Once you have accessed Hovermap’s Wi-Fi, open an internet browser:

   1. To access the Web UI, type hover.map into the address bar.

   2. To see a live point cloud, type hover.map:8082 into the address bar.

Web UI layout

 

Scan name

 

Type your scan name into the Scan name field. The text will turn orange to indicate that it has changed. Press the tick button to confirm, and the text will return to white to indicate it has been saved.

System time

 

The system time is shown in UTC format.

If Hovermap’s internal system time differs from that of the connected platform, the text will turn orange and a Set Time button will appear. You will be prompted to set the time so that it is the same as that of the connected platform. Once set, the time will return to white and the Set Time button will disappear.

Storage

 

This indicator shows the amount of free space available on the internal solid-state drive.

If Hovermap is more than 50% full, the text will change to orange. If Hovermap is more than 90% full, the text will change to red.

Hovermap status icons

 

The Hovermap status icons show the status of the IMU, the LiDAR, and the USB connection.

• IMU and LiDAR: If the icon is green, go ahead with the scan. If it is red or orange for an extended period, contact Customer Success.

• USB: The USB icon will remain red unless the USB is mounted and actively processing. The icon will only be green during the processing period. Once it has stopped, it will turn red again.

You can also press the Upgrade Firmware button to access the update page. From there, you can update the operating system, change your autonomy entitlement, and upload/update colorization calibration files. Go to Hovermap firmware update for more information.

The following scan details are available.

1. Click the Enable Hovermap Wi-Fi toggle.
   A message will appear asking if you wish to proceed.

2. Click Yes to turn off Hovermap’s Wi-Fi.

3. Turn Hovermap off and on again for the change to take effect.

4. If you are turning off the Wi-Fi for security reasons, we recommend that you scan for Hovermap’s SSID to confirm that it is no longer advertised.
