Status: Complete Verified: 35/35 claims Last Updated: 2026-02-01 Reviewed By: User (miswired) Source Document: Tutorial-Getting-Started.md
This verification file validates technical claims in the "Getting Started with Glitchy" tutorial against authoritative sources.
Document Purpose: Guide new users through first-time setup, from power-on to accessing the web interface.
Verification Scope:
- Hardware specifications and components
- Software configuration (WiFi, IP address, SD card)
- Web interface structure and navigation
- Procedural claims about setup steps
Known Issues: None - all claims verified
Future Code Improvements (tracked in OpenSpec):
- Add code comment documenting FAT32 requirement (minor)
- Explicitly set IP address with WiFi.softAPConfig() (minor)

- Confidence: MEDIUM (code defines pins, physical headers not verified)
- Status: ✓ Verified
- Notes: Pins defined in code (lines 10-16), verify physical headers exist

-
Status:
⚠️ Needs Code Documentation - Notes: Code uses SD.begin() (main.cpp:56) which expects FAT32. Should add to comments or docs.
-
Source: Code/Glitchy/src/main.cpp:33
#define HOST_ACCESS_POINT - Confidence: HIGH (verified in source code)
- Status: ✓ Verified
- Notes: HOST_ACCESS_POINT is defined by default, triggering AP mode (line 122)
-
Source: Code/Glitchy/src/main.cpp:39
const char* ap_ssid = "Glitchy"; - Confidence: HIGH (verified in source code)
- Status: ✓ Verified

- Notes: Explicitly set as AP password
- Source: ESP32 Arduino Core WiFi library (WiFi.softAPIP() default); User hardware confirmation
- Confidence: HIGH (confirmed by user on actual hardware)
- Status: ✓ Verified
- Notes: Code uses WiFi.softAPIP() without explicit IP configuration (main.cpp:124). ESP32 defaults to 192.168.4.1 for soft AP. Confirmed accurate by user.

Improvement #1: Add FAT32 documentation to code
- Location: Code/Glitchy/src/main.cpp near SD.begin()
- Change: Add code comment documenting FAT32 requirement
- Rationale: Makes requirement explicit for future developers
- Severity: Minor
- Status: Will create OpenSpec task
Improvement #2: Explicitly set IP address in code
- Location: Code/Glitchy/src/main.cpp in initWiFi()
- Change: Use WiFi.softAPConfig() to explicitly set 192.168.4.1
- Rationale: Makes IP configuration explicit rather than relying on library default
- Severity: Minor
- Status: Will create OpenSpec task
