TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: The Missile Launcher isn’t connecting to my computer.
Solution: Make sure you install the Missile Launcher’s software BEFORE you
connect the Missile Launcher to your computer.
Problem: The Missile Launcher will not connect, or takes a long time to connect,
to my computer.
Solution: Try a different USB Port. Try using a USB port directly on your computer
or laptop (not using a hub or other external device).
Problem: When the webcam is connected, I see an animated landscape,
and not what the camera is facing.
Solution: Reset the Missile Launcher by shutting down the program,
unplugging the USB jack and re-connecting.
Problem: The darts do not launch off the launch tubes at all, or, if they do,
they do not go very far.
Solution: Make sure you are pushing the dart all the way on the launch tube
as far as it will go. The dart must make a seal in order to be pushed
off the launch tube.
