- Connect the power cable to your power adapter
- Power up your pi the usual way (usb cable)
Instructions: software
- Launch Xangle Camera Server
- Go in the status panel and make sure you see your Raspberry Pi (top-right corner menu / Status). Create a new group and assign your pi to that group.
- Navigate to http://localhost:8091/lights on a browser on the computer where Xangle is running (or use the provided ip address to load it from a different computer
- Set the number of pixels you need to be activated
