Connecting to your Trimlight System Your Trimlight system will be broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal. This signal does not have any internet capabilities.

Step #1 Ensure the BLUE light on the controller is illuminated. This light is located near the V+ and V terminals. Push the AP/STA Button on the controller to change from the GREEN light to the BLUE light. Step #2 Go to the settings on the Smartphone or Tablet and search for the broadcasting signal TrimlightA.

The following chart shows the features and methods to build your own sequence for unlimited patterns. Build Your Own Sequence Color Options All the colors outlined in the small gray line are all default colors and cannot be adjusted. All remaining colors are adjustable for dimming and color hue variations. Steps #1 Choosing a holiday or pattern to adjust or create your own. Once the pattern is chosen, the pre-saved sequence appears. The user can easily drag any of the colors above down into any slot within the sequence space. Steps #2 The user may choose any type of movement for the pattern that was created in Step #1. For no movement, choose STATIC Steps #3 To increase or decrease the brightness of the lights or the speed of which the patterns are moving. Wave & Comet Functions When choosing either the Wave or Comet functions from the list of available pattern movements for a custom sequence. For a custom sequence you must select more than 5 colors to activate that sequence. Example:

Custom Colors Simply push and hold on any of the colors that are not inside the small gray lines to allow the user to adjust to any color within 16 million colors and hues. Sequence Quantities The quantity of each color in the sequence can be adjusted by touching any of the spaces in the sequencing bar and entering the desired quantity on the number pad. If a blank is desired in the sequence, drag the BK color from the color spectrum into the sequencing bar. Chase Patterns Custom chase patterns can be tricky. The more blanks or numbers in the sequence bar, the more you are able to control the speed of the chasing program. The chase pattern will be very fast if only 1 of each is chosen. Choose a larger quantity of blanks or solid colors between a chasing color to achieve your desired speed and effect. HINTS Pulsing Light In the default patterns on the first page there are many pulsing light patterns. To create your own pulsing colors and patterns, try filling the entire sequence bar with the maximum amount of sequence numbers with your chosen color. Then have one sequence space for your chosen color that pulses through the entire system.
