General Issue
If you haven't set machine's Wi-Fi settings or connect it to any network, you will not be able to connect to the FLUX Delta. The micro-usb cable is just for name, password & wifi settings. In older version of FLUX Studio, this error is rendered as FLUX Device not detected.
Or.. just an network issue. Check Wi-Fi indicator ( green light ) of the FLUX Delta first, and connect your computer to same network. If you are Windows users, this might be a firewall issue ( note: do not turn off firewall ).
[ If the green light is blinking ]
It means FLUX Delta is still trying to connect the Wi-Fi, this could be caused by weak signal or wrong password. Shorten the distance between FLUX Delta and router might help.
[ If the green light is steady on ]
It means FLUX is successfully connected to your Wi-Fi, so you don't have to set machine's Wi-Fi anymore now.
Windows Users ( Green light steady )
If you set the wifi with micro-usb & FLUX Studio v0.3.0+
And still get this error - Make sure your firewall is running, reconnect wifi with your pc and restart FLUX Studio to see if it works. If not, there might be software conflicts like 3rd-party firewall or antivirus software.
If you set the wifi with USB Drive
And still get this error - Kindly find the IP Address of your FLUX Delta, the ip address displays in the DHCP Table in your router's control panel, and see if there is a raspberrypi device. To find where the DHCP table is, kindly google "DHCP table + Your router's model name". If you entered the IP and still nothing shows up, make sure your firewall is running, reconnect wifi with your pc and restart FLUX Studio to see if it works. If not, there might be software conflicts like 3rd-party firewall or antivirus software.
If your computer recently went to sleep
Note: When your computer wakes up from sleep mode and this error popped out, use command line to run "ipconfig /release & ipconfig /renew". In FLUX Studio v0.3.0+, you can enter the IP in Menu > File > Preferences in order to prevent this issue.
Conflicted softwares
It has been reported avast! and Killer Bandwidth Control are not supported with FLUX Studio.
Mac Users
In Preference > Security & Privacy, add FLUX Studio to Firewall's whitelist.
VPN connection
If you were using VPN connection, you might not be able to connect the machine.

1. My Flux has a solid green light ON.
2. My PC wake from sleep with USB connection between PC and Flux printer.
3. Start Flux Studio 0.2.7 and select Device Monitor and No Flux Device detected.
4. Restart PC and start Flux Studio and Flux Device detected successfully.
Hello,
I have conected my Flux to the internet using guides. And green light is solid. Unplugged usb. And the flux software does not see the device. It says to check network. Network is ok, can't understand why it does not see
Tried on Mac and Pc. Both doesn't see
Be sure that your PC is using the actual wifi as well. I assumed that once the Flux was set up for the wifi, my PC's wired connection would be fine since they were going through the same router, but I had to plug a USB wifi adapter into my PC and join my local wireless network before the Flux software could find my Flux printer. It's possible there is some nuance I'm missing that makes this a false positive, but it worked where nothing else did.
