Welcome to your XGRIDS Lixel K2

Get the hardware ready before you power on.

1. 1.1
   Clean the contacts

   Use the included cloth to wipe dust from the power contacts on both the device and the battery.
2. 1.2
   Assemble the handle

   Align the handle battery with the control-point base and tighten the bottom screw.
3. 1.3
   Insert the battery

   Press the latch on the battery handle and slide it into the device base until seated and locked.

Confirm the device is ready before pairing.

1. 2.1
   Hold the power button

   Press and hold for 4 seconds.
2. 2.2
   Check the status light

   Slow-flashing blue (about 30 s) while booting, then solid green = standby. Solid yellow means powered on but not yet activated — that is normal on first boot; continue to Stage 3.

Activate via the LixelGO app, then request your Lixel Studio licence code. Each activation code works only once.

1. 3.1
   Install & sign in to LixelGO

   Enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your phone, launch LixelGO and sign in.
2. 3.2
   Pair the device

   Tap the wireless mode button, select your device, tap "Go", then "Activate".
3. 3.3
   Request your licence

   Fill out the prompted form to request your Lixel Studio licence code, then submit your activation request.

Initialise on a flat surface, then walk a steady loop.

1. 4.1
   Initialise

   Place the device on a flat surface. Tap the red button in the app, or double-press the hardware button.
2. 4.2
   Wait for the signal

   The app shows "Static initialization started" and a 15-second countdown while the light flashes green rapidly. Do not touch or move the device until it reports "Static initialization complete".
3. 4.3
   Start scanning

   When the light flashes green slowly, lift the device and move to begin. Walk at a steady pace and close loops.
4. 4.4
   Stop & save

   Walk back to your start point, stand still for 10 seconds (loop closure), then tap the red button or double-press the hardware button. Wait for solid green before powering off.

For survey-grade georeferencing, connect an NTRIP network before you scan.

1. 5.1
   Configure RTK

   In LixelGO go to Settings → RTK Settings. Enter your NTRIP Host, Port, Username, Password and Mountpoint, tap Connect and verify "Logged In". No NTRIP account? You can source credentials from a CORS network such as AusCORS (Geoscience Australia).
2. 5.2
   Set scan modes

   Tap GO, name the project, then set Hardware (Handheld), GNSS Mode (RTK) and Scan Mode (RGB).
3. 5.3
   Mark control points

   During the scan, tap the Control Point icon to mark GCPs as needed.

Offload to your PC, activate Lixel Studio, then build your point cloud.

1. 6.1
   Enter USB drive mode

   Connect via USB-C. Press the power button once (white LED), then again (solid blue) to enter drive mode. Copy the project folder to your local drive.
2. 6.2
   Activate Lixel Studio

   Open Lixel Studio → Settings → Activation. Select "License Activation", enter your code and click Activate.
3. 6.3
   Process

   New Project → set name & path. Enable Dynamic Object Removal and Filtering Enhancement, configure coordinate transformation from the RTK module, then click Start.
4. 6.4
   Clean & export

   Use the Clipping Box to trim noise, then right-click the point cloud → Export (.LAS, or Mesh as .obj / .osgb).
