About Pods

For information about pairing pods, see Pair Pods.

Your Plantiga pods each contain a 6 axis IMU, sample at 416 HZ, weigh less than 5 g, and can collect up to 2 Gigabytes of data.

Charge your pods before collecting data. When the pods are docked and fully charged, the pod lights will turn green. The pods can collect up to 8 hours of data when fully charged.

When the pods are docked and charging, the pod lights will be solid white. A full charge can take up to 2 hours.

If the pods are docked blinking red, the sensors have encountered a hardware or battery issue (eg. overheating or battery drain irregularities).
- In most cases, the sensor will auto-restart within 10–30 seconds and return to pulsing white.
- If sensors do not return to normal, remove and replace the pods to ensure a good connection.
- If it continues blinking red, it may be in a persistent error state. Please reach out to our team for support.

When the pods are not docked, they will blink green when they have adequate remaining charge and blink red when there is an error or the battery is below 20%. The pods turn themselves off when the charge is below 5% to preserve collected data.

Pods need to be synchronized daily to ensure that data timestamps are correct - make sure the pods are docked each day before use to allow them to synchronize.
Dock the pods or keep them in the carry case or travel dock when not in use to prevent the battery from draining and the memory from filling up.

Pods currently paired to a person will be displayed next to their name in the People page.

Pods can be deleted from this page if they have been lost or replaced.
Click on the Pod icon next to Devices on the sidebar to show all pods that are currently docked, and who they are paired to.

Clean the gold pads on the bottom of the pod with a dry cloth or alcohol swab if they get dirty.
The pods are water and impact resistant - they can get damp but don’t submerge them.
Don’t expose the pods to strong magnets or extreme temperatures.
