Before You Begin

Ensure you have:

  • The latest version of the Pixel Dancer app installed

  • Your Chromaglow controllers powered

  • Access to a stable 2.4GHz WiFi network

Pro Tip: When setting up multiple controllers, configure all client controllers first, and set up the master controller last for optimal performance.

Step-by-Step Setup Process

1. Initial Connection

  1. Open your device's WiFi settings

  2. Connect to the controller's WiFi network (named "WEC-XXX")

  3. Launch the Pixel Dancer app

  4. Wait for the "Connection Successful" message

2. Setting Up Client Controllers

  1. In the Pixel Dancer app, go to Settings

  2. Select "Network Mode"

  3. Enter your WiFi network name exactly as it appears

  4. Enter your WiFi password

  5. If you are using more than one controller, select "Client" mode

  6. Tap "Reboot WEC" to save settings

  7. Wait for the controller's green light to stop flashing and become steady

  8. Test the connection by selecting an effect and adjusting colors in the app

3. Setting Up the Master Controller (for two or more controller installations)

After all client controllers are set up:

  1. Close the Pixel Dancer app completely

  2. Connect to the final controller in Direct Mode

  3. Go to Settings

  4. Select "Network Mode"

  5. Enter the same WiFi network information

  6. Select "Master" mode

  7. Tap "Reboot WEC"

4. Verifying the Connection

To confirm successful setup:

  • Wait for the controller's green light to become steady

  • Open the Pixel Dancer app

  • Test the color wheel - all connected controllers should respond in sync

Important: If the controllers don't appear on the network, you may need to perform a hard reset and repeat the process. Ensure you're using a 2.4GHz network, as 5GHz networks are not compatible.
