Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about UltraBARX — hardware, software, modules, and more.
UltraBARX is a modular desktop command center. It combines a 7-inch touchscreen display (CoreBAR) with magnetic modules (KnobKey, DotKey, SenseCube, VivoCube) that snap together via QuantumLink™. It runs LineOS™ and can be configured with UltraWorkspace.
- CoreBAR — the 7-inch touchscreen main controller
- QuantumLink™ modules — KnobKey, DotKey, SenseCube, VivoCube (depending on your kit)
- USB-C cable and power adapter
- Quick start card
Modules snap onto CoreBAR via the magnetic QuantumLink™ connection on the right side. They attach automatically — no cables, no pairing. Power and data flow through the magnetic connection.
- Assemble the adapter and plug head — align, press firmly, and rotate toward "LOCK" until you hear a click
- Insert the round end of the adapter into CoreBAR's DC 12V power port on the left side
- Plug the other end into a power strip — CoreBAR will power on automatically
- Wait about 20 seconds for the boot animation to complete
QuantumLink™ is UltraBARX's magnetic connection system. It carries power and data between CoreBAR and modules — no cables, no pairing, no restarts. Modules snap into place and are recognized instantly. Up to 15 modules can be attached to a single CoreBAR.
UltraWorkspace is the desktop configuration software for UltraBARX. It lets you create Profiles, design widgets, configure modules, and deploy your interface to CoreBAR. It's available for Windows 10/11 and is open source on GitHub.
- Go to GitHub Releases
- Download the latest version for Windows 10/11
- Run the installer and follow the setup wizard
- Launch UltraWorkspace and connect your CoreBAR
- Make sure CoreBAR is powered on
- Ensure both CoreBAR and your PC are on the same Wi-Fi network
- Check that 2.4GHz Wi-Fi is enabled
- Try restarting UltraWorkspace
- If still not found, check CoreBAR's IP address in Settings → About
A Profile is a complete workspace configuration — it defines what appears on your CoreBAR screen: cards, layouts, module mappings, and themes. Switch between Profiles to instantly transform your workspace for different activities.
- CoreBAR — the 7-inch touchscreen main controller
- SenseCube — sensor module (radar, light, temperature, humidity)
- VivoCube — 2-inch AMOLED touchscreen display
- DotKey — three mechanical macro keys
- KnobKey — precision metal rotary encoder
You can attach up to 15 general-purpose modules (DotKey, KnobKey, SenseCube) and up to 3 VivoCube display modules to a single CoreBAR.
- Check that the module is properly snapped onto CoreBAR
- Make sure CoreBAR is powered on
- Try detaching and reattaching the module
- In UltraWorkspace, click Search in the module section
- Check if the module requires a firmware update
- CoreBAR: Firmware updates are delivered over the air (OTA). Your CoreBAR will notify you when an update is available.
- Modules (SenseCube, VivoCube, DotKey, KnobKey): Updates are performed manually through UltraWorkspace. Download the .bin file from GitHub Releases and follow the OTA procedure.
CoreBAR updates are delivered automatically over Wi-Fi — you'll see a notification on your screen. Modules require manual updates via UltraWorkspace because each module has its own firmware. The manual process gives you more control and is only needed when new features or fixes are released for specific modules.
Firmware files are available on GitHub Releases. Download the .bin file for your module (e.g., VivoCube_V2_20260728_ota.bin) and follow the OTA procedure in UltraWorkspace.
- Check that the power adapter is properly connected to CoreBAR's DC 12V port
- Make sure the adapter is plugged into a working power outlet
- Try using a different USB-C cable (if using USB power)
- If still not working, try a factory reset
Go to Settings → About → Factory Reset on your CoreBAR. This will restore the device to its original state. Make sure to back up any custom configurations in UltraWorkspace before resetting.
- Try restarting CoreBAR by unplugging and reconnecting power
- Check if the screen protector (if applied) is interfering with touch
- If the problem persists, try a factory reset
- UltraWorkspace: Windows 10/11 (primary), macOS, Linux
- CoreBAR (LineOS): runs independently on the device
- PC integration: Windows (deep integration), macOS (basic)
