EleksTube IPS Clock Setup Guide

Setup EleksTube IPS Clock in a few easy steps

Before starting:

First of all, thank you for choosing the EleksTube IPS clock produced by EleksMaker. No matter where you purchase it, when performing the following configuration, please ensure that the product is purchased through our official certified channels to avoid updating the firmware to the device, causing a black screen and other failures.

As of April 2024, the EleksTube IPS series clock hardware on sale is all Gen2 versions and the latest firmware version is Ver3.10. 

A few things to check - before starting:

When installing the clock screen, be careful not to press the FPC cable on the back of the screen too hard.
  1. Follow the instructions to properly install the screen onto the clock base. When installing, pay attention to the front of the screen facing the buttons.
  2. When installing the clock screen, be careful not to press the FPC cable on the back of the screen too hard.

1. Download the EleksTube IPS PC client program

Download the PC client For EleksTube IPS Clock

If you are on Mac OSX, please do not download. We currently only provide PC client programs, and Mac platform clients are under development.

Wi-Fi and time synchronization can now be configured via the Web Bluetooth API https://elekstube.app

2. Plug the clock into the computer and start the client

At this time, if your driver is correct and the connection is correct, the connection status icon in the lower left corner of the client will appear green.
Next you can continue to explore the various features and configurations.

If the connection status icon does not turn green, please confirm:
1. Use the USB cable that came with the device to connect the clock to your computer’s native USB-A port;
2. Disconnect the clock from the computer, click the first icon on the left in the upper right corner of the client program, reinstall the CH340 driver and start the client again and connect the clock.
3. If the PC client cannot be started normally, please place the program directory in the root directory of the system and run it again, such as C:/.




3. Configure Wi-Fi time auto-sync and correct time zone for clock

Enter your Wi-Fi hotspot name and password and select the correct time zone for your region. Click to save the configuration to automatically synchronize to the clock.

There are following things to note
1. Only supports 2.4G Wi-Fi hotspots;
2. Public Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi hotspots that require web authentication are not supported.
3. If you need to configure DST daylight saving time, please adjust it through the time zone option. (We will provide automatic configuration functionality in the next firmware update.)




4. Check the status of the clock

You can check the version number and Wi-Fi connection status of the clock on the Device INFO interface. If it is empty, it means the clock is not connected correctly.

5. Upload a custom image to the clock

Custom pictures support two modes: watch face and photo album, and you can set them separately for the clock.
1. Album mode supports uploading 6 custom pictures. 
2. Clock mode requires the submission of 10 alternative pictures corresponding to numbers 0-9.

6. Up to 30+ built-in dial styles for you to choose from

Tip: You can select up to 4 sets of built-in dials at a time
