When creating drills, you have the choice between two training modes: Basic Detection Zone & Basic Repeat. They both display the same kind of signals, but are triggered in a different way. Remember that drills don't capture data and are purely for training purposes!

Basic Detection Zone

The Ledsreact Pro will display signals based on the player's movement. The moment the player enters the detectione zone (a circle around the Ledsreact Pro with a certain radius), the Ledsreact Pro will display its signal. The player doesn't have to approach the Ledsreact from a certain direction, as the detection zone is activated all around the device. 

Basic Repeat

The Ledsreact Pro will display signals at certain time intervals. You can change this timing in the variables.

Changing the variables

• Select the mode you want to train in: Basic Detection Zone or Basic Repeat
• Click on 'Variables' at the top
• Change the variables to the desired setting
  • Direction controls: which corners will be used
  • Light control: randomize to choose the colors
  • Repetitions: how many reps until end exercise
  • Detection zone radius: how big is the detection zone around the Ledsreact Pro, i.e. how close should an athlete approach the Ledsreact Pro to get a signal (only with Basic Detection Zone)
  • Signal delay: this can be a fixed delay or a random delay between a minimum and maxium setting
    • create a delay between entering the detection zone and getting a signal for the Basic Detection Zone
    • choose the delay between two signals for the Basic Repeat
• Click on 'Create new exercise' to save your changes
• Insert a name for your exercise
• Your drill is ready to be performed!

Drill database

In the app, you can already find drills proposed by Ledsreact that can serve as inspiration. 

There are two categories: 'Basic detection zone drills' and 'Basic repeat drills', which are visible on the Home page. 

When your phone is connected to the Ledsreact Pro over Bluetooth, the screen of the Ledsreact Pro will show the message "CONNECTED WITH 'NAME'". 

In the phone app, you can also go to Menu > Ledsreact Pro and click on your device. In the overview page, it will be shown in the 'Info' section if you're connected over Bluetooth.

Your phone's Bluetooth menu will not show the Ledsreact Pro. The list of your devices is not where you can see if it's connected or not. 

The Ledsreact Pro should automatically reconnect to devices it has been previously connected. 

When you're in the app, go to Menu > Ledsreact Pro and click on the name of your device. It should connect over Bluetooth. 

If this doesn't work, you should try establishing the connection again. You do this in Menu > Ledsreact Pro and instead of just clicking the name of the device, click on the plus sign at the top of the list. This will prompt a search for an active Ledsreact Pro and will allow you to connect to it over Bluetooth. 

There's only one phone at a time that can connect to the Ledsreact Pro. If another coach is already connected over Bluetooth, it's not possible for you to connect too. You can always check on the screen of the Ledsreact Pro what it is connected to. In this case, the other coach should disconnect their phone before you can connect. For this you can:

• use the screen of your Ledsreact Pro. When it says “Connected to name device”, it also displays the message: “Press OK to disconnect”. By pushing the OK button, the connected device will be disconnected. 
• use the app. When you go to Menu > Ledsreact Pro and then click on the name of your Ledsreact Pro, you will go to the overview page. At the bottom you’ll see in red “Disconnect over Bluetooth”. By clicking on this link, your device will be disconnected. 

In the app, you can go to Menu > Ledsreact Pro and click on your device in the list. In the overview page, you will see "Connection". Either it shows you the WiFi network the Ledsreact Pro is connected to, or it tells you there's no network. 

By clicking on the little arrow on the right, you can go to the list of available and saved networks to make a new connection to a WiFi network. 

Bear in mind that some networks require an extra authentication after connecting to them through a popup screen. This is the case with most hotel networks or educational environments. Since this is not compatible with the Ledsreact Pro, it is possible you're connected to such a network but the network doesn't actually work. 

You can see the Ledsreact Pro has established connection with the Ledsreact servers over WiFi (thus meaning the WiFi network is active) when there’s a dot on the left of the cloud icon at the top of the screen on the Ledsreact Pro itself. 

If you can't connect to a WiFi network, this might be because of the following reasons:

• the WiFi network isn't strong enough
• the password you entered is not correct
• the WiFi network needs an extra authentication through a popup screen

If you're sure the password you entered is correct, retry connecting until it works. 

You can also log out of the app and log in again, to restart the connection process. 

If the problem still persists, please contact us at support@ledsreact.com. 

You do not need a WiFi network to start an exercise or test, the Bluetooth connection is sufficient for this. The captured data will be stored on the internal storage of the device until the Ledsreact Pro connects to a WiFi network. 

However, when you create new exercises or want to make changes in the Player Management, an internet connection is needed. This can be done with your mobile network and doesn't consume much data. 

The Ledsreact Pro needs to be connected to a WiFi network to upload the collected data to the web platform. This isn't necessary during the practice session and can be done afterwards. The internal storage of the Ledsreact Pro is large enough to handle several hundreds of training sessions. 

The battery level of your Ledsreact Pro is visible in two places. 

The first is on the device itself. When the Ledsreact Pro is turned on, you can click three times on the arrow to the right. This leads you to the ABOUT screen, where you can read the battery percentage of your Ledsreact Pro. 

The other option is in the phone app. You go to 'Menu' and click on 'Ledsreact Pro'. When the Ledsreact Pro is turned on and connected to your phone, the battery percentage will be visible next to the name of your Ledsreact Pro and on the overview page. 

Make sure you use the supplied cable for charging. We use special chargers that optimize and accelerate the charging process. Using another cable may result in the Ledsreact Pro not being able to charge.

Normal charging time is about 5 hours. 

If the problem still persists, please contact us at support@ledsreact.com. 

This notification is only a nudge to upload the collected data to the cloud through WiFi, to avoid a syncing time that's too long. You can still continue using the Ledsreact Pro as normal, because the internal storage of the device is very large. Just keep in mind that it might take a bit longer afterwards before you see your data in the web platform. 

The WiFi symbol and the Bluetooth symbol signal that the WiFi and Bluetooth function are active and the Ledsreact Pro is ready to connect.

The cloud symbol shows a dot on the left when the Ledsreact Pro has established a connection to the Ledsreact servers. 

No. As with other Bluetooth connections, only one device can be connected to the Ledsreact Pro at the same time. If another coach wishes to connect and operate the Ledsreact Pro, the first coach will first have to disconnect before the second will be able to connect over Bluetooth. For this you can:

• use the screen of your Ledsreact Pro. When it says “Connected to name device”, it also displays the message: “Press OK to disconnect”. By pushing the OK button, the connected device will be disconnected.
• use the app. When you go to Menu > Ledsreact Pro and then click on the name of your Ledsreact Pro, you will go to the overview page. At the bottom you’ll see in red “Disconnect over Bluetooth”. By clicking on this link, your device will be disconnected. 

This is normal. The Ledsreact Pro is designed in this way that it only establishes a Bluetooth connection at the moments it’s needed, to not drain the battery of the connected device. It will reconnect when you open the overview page in the app, so as to get the necessary information from the Ledsreact Pro, and when you start an exercise. 

The Bluetooth connection between the Ledsreact Pro and your device will remain active for at least 30 meters.

In theory, this can be maintained even further but for this you can't have any obstacles etc. in the way.   

The Agility Box test is programmed by us to prevent cheating. This means that an athlete has to go around the correct cone according to the displayed color before getting their next signal. 

This implies that:

• the athlete hits the checkpoint, that is virtually placed just behind the colored cone. They don't necessarily need to go around the cone, but they need to go far enough behind it. Otherwise they won't get a new signal.
• the athlete returns to the middle. If they linger to the front or the back of the box, they won't get a new signal.
• the colored cones are placed in the same setup that is shown in the pictures in the app. The Ledsreact Pro is programmed to link the red color to the position at the front left. If you place the red cone at another spot for example, the Ledsreact will consider this a mistake by the athlete and not display a new signal. 
  The setup is as follows: front left red, front right green, rear right blue, rear left yellow. 

If all these conditions are met and you still have problems with detection, please contact us at support@ledsreact.com. 

The Master Checkpoint exercise was made so that you can also get valuable insights on your athlete's performance outside of the standard tests we already offer. 

Instead of setting out a trajectory of checkpoints that has to be followed, there is only one checkpoint programmed in the Master Checkpoint exercise. This point should be the start and end point of your test protocol. 

You will get insights on the duration between getting the signal and getting back to the checkpoint, and the speed, acceleration and deceleration during the entire trajectory.

For the more detailed explanation on how it works, which the variables are, how big the detection zone is etc., please go to the blogpost or video. 

The results of your tests are displayed in the Activity Log on the web platform. 

Go to app.ledsreact.com to log into the web platform with the same login as the app. You will automatically arrive in the Activity Log. You can always find it back on the left hand side of the web platform. The sessions are organised by date, time, type of exercise and the players involved. 

By clicking on an exercise, you will get an overview of the duration of the test for each player compared to the average. By clicking on a player name in the left column or on their duration bar, you will see the detailed result for them individually. You can even zoom in further by clicking on the little arrow at the top right of the duration, speed or acceleration graph. 

That the results of your tests aren't visible in the Activity Log, can be because of two reasons: 

• the captured data hasn't been uploaded yet because the Ledsreact Pro hasn't been connected yet to WiFi.
• there was no data captured because the exercise wasn't a test, but a training mode. Everything that functions with Basic Repeat or Basic Detection Zone, doesn't capture data.
