Hello! Today we will continue to get acquainted with the LED props of the AI ​​series. If you have not yet watched the first video for beginners, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with it first. You will find a link to it in the description. In this video, we will continue to get acquainted with the web interface for managing and setting up props, and we will also talk in more detail about what you need to know about the operation of props in order to avoid mistakes. We are constantly improving our props and adding some new features.

Therefore, if you are watching this video much later than it was released, and your interface or the functions that the props have are slightly different, then please find information about the updates that have been made recently and take this into account when viewing these instructions. In the first part of the video I will show you the web interface in more detail. I will show everything using poi as an example, however, these instructions are relevant for other types of props. I will use a laptop, it’s more convenient to do this on it. Nevertheless, you can do the same thing on smartphones, but there it will be a little more difficult. So let's turn on our props first. Let me remind you that we need to press and hold the button on one device, and then on the second. Let's put the props in standby mode and take our laptop.

So we need to connect to the props. To do this, let me remind you that we need to find the Wi-Fi network PIXEL_NET. Here, let me immediately draw attention to some points. If you forget to connect to the details, you will not be able to access the web interface. Let me show you with an example. Now I'm not connected to the props yet, so let me enter the web interface address. Let me remind you that there are two addresses: this is pixel.local and the second address is 192.168.4.1.

I didn’t connect to the props’ Wi-Fi network and now I’ll try to enter the web interface address. I press Enter, and as you can see our interface does not open. That is, in this case, you again need to connect to the props first. To do this, open the Wi-Fi settings, look for our PIXEL_NET network and connect to it. I’ve already connected to it before, so it doesn’t ask me for a password. After this, I also recommend paying attention to the address, since some browsers like to change the address a little and add extra characters there. Therefore, be sure to check that your address is correct. My address is correct pixel.local. And I press Enter again. As you can see, my web interface has loaded.

When you connect to the details, you will lose Internet access. That is, when you are connected to the props, you will not have Internet on your laptop or smartphone. So let's take a closer look at our web interface for managing props.

In the main window we have only a few buttons. As we learned earlier, the main button, round in the center, is responsible for playing the program on the props. That is, if we press it now, playback begins.

We can also pause it. Here we can move through the musical composition to any place we need. That is, we moved the pointer and clicked on Play. Also, if we want to play the program from the beginning, then we must move the pointer to the beginning on the trackbar, and then press the play button. Our playback will start from the very beginning. Also in the Web interface, just below the trackbar, you see the name of the current program. By default, when you first receive the props,

there is only one program loaded. There are 10 programs you can download in total. You can click on this line and you will see a list of all available programs. As I said, there is only one program by default. As you can see, we have this program in the first line. That is, we see here: at the beginning the program number,

then the name of the program and the musical composition on which this program was compiled. All the other nine programs, as you can see, are empty. We can't choose them now. There are also two additional buttons in the Web interface. This is the settings button, I'll talk about it a little later. And there is a button for smart programming for props. We got to know her a little in the previous video.

Now we will look at programming in a little more detail. Let's open the smart programming mode. To do this, press the AI ​​button and the smart one will open. programming mode. Here we download the program. We need to wait some time until all the pictures are loaded and displayed in the interface. We have moved to the top of the smart program compilation mode, and let's study what functions there are and what they are responsible for. So at the very top

we have the musical composition on which the current program is compiled. If necessary, you can select your musical composition here. Let's do this. You can upload MP3 music files here. Let's select another file and open it. When you open another music file, it is analyzed, and immediately after that we can create a new program based on this composition.

There are also settings for creating a program, which are taken into account when creating it automatically. Let's take a look at them. To do this, you need to click on the line change settings, and additional options will open. Here we have: the first line is the program. We can also open it and here we can already see that the first cell is selected. We can select another cell here. Let's choose it,

for example the second one. We can also indicate the name for later reference. Let's indicate "My program". Here you also have a button to clear the cell. That is, if you don’t need a program, you can simply delete it by clicking on the “Clear cell” button.

Below we have settings for automatic program creation. The program can be created either by musical composition or by time. That is, you can strictly set the time and specify the number of pictures. When a program is compiled based on a musical composition, the smart interface itself analyzes the musical composition and already arranges pictures in accordance with its tempo and its other parameters. That is, you and I can only change the speed of changing pictures. If we set it even less, as you can see below, the display time of each picture and the number of images that will be displayed for the entire musical composition changes. That is, you can change up to the maximum value.

If you want to set it manually, then you can mark that you want to time the program and specify exactly the time of each picture and how many pictures need to be added to the program. Let's compose according to music for now and put a little less pictures. Here you can tell the smart mode to try to select pictures of a certain color scheme. That is, if you check this box, the smart mode will try to select most pictures so that they are similar to this color. Below you can select the theme of the pictures that you want the smart interface to use in your program. Here you can select several sets to be used in the program. Let's highlight some of them. I think over time you will understand which modes are in which, and will already select the sets that you like best.

You can also add your own images. You can add some text, that is, you can simply write this text. Let's write "My text". You can add your own pictures here. That is, you also download and simply select an image. You can add several images at once, or you can add one image. That is, I can add one thing. I can add three images at once. That is, your pictures will be arranged according to the program using the smart mode.

You can also generate pictures in a neural network. I'll talk about this a little later, since generating pictures on the props does not work while the props are working on their own Wi-Fi network. When we have indicated all the settings that we require, we can ask the smart mode to create a program based on these settings. To do this, we click the "Apply settings" button. Here the interface will warn us that unsaved changes will be lost. We click “Confirm” and the program is being compiled. Compiling a program takes some time. This time depends on the number of pictures

used in the program. It also depends on the sets you have chosen to generate your program. The more sets, the longer the program will take to compile. As you can see, we also chose the main color and we see in the thumbnails that basically all the colors here are similar to the ones we chose. So we see that the smart interface has finished compiling the program. Let's take a look at it. As you can see, most of the pictures, as we requested, are used in blue tones.

By the way, here we see our text. Here we see our picture. And we also see that we used pictures from different sets. Here in the center, I remind you, we see our program. Each picture has a number. This number is needed so that you know which specific picture is being played. Next, I will show this number during playback. So the program has been compiled. Now we can save it to the device.

Let's click the "Save" button and wait until the program downloads to our device. Here on the save button you can see that the process is in progress. That is, the saving itself is displayed interactively. Here, a musical composition is also loaded simultaneously with the program.

Therefore, if you select a new musical composition, the saving will take a little longer than just saving a new program. So, we see in the status bar that our program has been saved on two devices. Let's close the interface for now. Here, too, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that although the interface warns us

that unsaved changes will be lost while we are in this window and do not update this tab, by closing the smart mode and reopening it, we can return to editing this program. We'll confirm it for now, and I'll show you how the program plays. Here, during playback, we see the number of the picture that is displayed. And you can also see on the props how it looks visually. If you don’t like a picture, you can remember the number, or watch the entire program and write down those picture numbers that you don’t like and then return to replacing or editing them. Let's try to edit this program. To do this,

open the smart mode again . As you can see, all our settings are still saved here. That is, I remind you that until we close the tab, all settings are saved. So here I can also tell you that in addition to the program that is displayed in the center, we display additional options for pictures to which we can change those pictures that are used in the program. That is, you and I can change the settings and change the sets that are used. Let's select some sets, remove this set and

click not apply settings, but update options. That is, the program itself will remain as it is, and only the options to the left and right of the program will be updated. This should be done if you are not satisfied with the options that were offered to you.

There is also an alternative option for changing pictures. I'll show it to you now too. As you can see, we are currently updating options. They are also downloaded as sets. Smart mode analyzes which pictures should be used in a particular place. And when he finishes the analysis, he will offer you new options. As we can see, the options have been updated. That is, you and I can change the pictures to others.

Here you can see this program in a slightly different form. In the status bar you have a "Show" button. You can click it and the program will be displayed in the form of a timeline. Here you have a musical composition displayed. Also the program itself in the form of thumbnails of the pictures that are used. That is, they are staged

according to the timeline in accordance with time. And you can, if necessary, scroll to zoom in on the pictures and rewind them and see where each picture is located in the program visually. What can this be useful for? In addition to this automatic creation of programs, you can edit the program manually. You can choose any of the pictures. To do this, just click on it with the mouse, and you will see the settings for this image in the program. What can we change here? We can move the picture up or down in the program. That is, we press and, accordingly, the picture in the program will move up, or, if we press down, then it will move lower in the program. Here we can also change the playback time of the picture.

Here we can make it bigger, smaller. As you can see, in addition to time, repetitions also change. Repeats are the number of copies of a picture that will be displayed in the time interval of a given picture. Also, the number of repetitions depends on the stretching of the picture. That is, if the picture stretches more, the number of repetitions will also decrease. Also here you can adjust the brightness of the picture. That is, you can make it brighter, you can make it darker. You can change the saturation of the picture. That is, if you reduce it, it becomes closer to neutral tones, if you increase it, it becomes richer.

You can also change the hue, that is, in this way you can make a completely different color picture, as you need. What is important to note here: if you change the time the picture is displayed, then your program will no longer fall into the beats of the musical composition. Therefore, please consider this carefully if you need to maintain the musicality of your picture changes.

Let's try to replace this picture with ours. We click replace and select ours. We see that the picture has been replaced. If we click on black, the picture will simply be replaced with black. Visually it looks like the props are turned off. That is, if you need to turn off a prop in the program so that it doesn’t visually glow, then you can use just this black color.

You can also delete a picture, that is, after that you will have one less picture in the program. This is convenient if you are not creating a program based on a musical composition, but compiling it manually by time intervals. Also, to click on specific pictures here, you can do the same on the timeline. That is, to deselect the picture, we click here again and the timeline is displayed. And here we can select the picture we need. This way you can navigate through the program and select the picture that you want to customize or replace. The timeline window can be minimized and can also be expanded at any necessary time.

So, we changed the program with you, let's save it and I'll show you how to change programs if you have several of them on your device. I close the Smart Programming window. And here you and I can choose just the second program that we have compiled. We are loading a musical composition. Here, every time we change a program, or when we enter the interface for the first time, to speed up the loading of the interface, the program itself is not displayed. That is, you

need to go into smart mode again. As you can see, our program is loading again. Here, if we change the program in the main interface window, the program is not saved in smart mode. That is, all settings are reset. Let's close it again and we'll have it reproduced like this. What else is important for us to know about smart programming mode? When we create a program, you and I have additional opportunities. Next to the compose button

we have an additional button with three dots. Let's press it. Here we have a “Compose New” button. It basically copies the compose button. There is a "Load from device" button. This button downloads the program from the device. For example, if you changed the program, but did not want to do it or you did not like the result, you can always return to the program that is on the device. That is, by clicking this button, you

will download the program that is currently on the device. You can also open a program from a file here. That is, you, having compiled a program, can save it to a file, and then open it here. Next to the “Save” button there is the same additional button with three dots. And

here you can save this program to a file and save it to this device. Let's close the smart mode window and explore what settings we have. What do we see in the settings window? Here you and I can change the brightness of the devices. That is, you can

change the brightness by increasing it. You have a visual display of brightness changes on devices. We recommend not setting the brightness above 100%, but if necessary, you can basically you can do this. Once we have set the brightness, let's set it somewhere around 50%, we click apply. And we see that the green LEDs on our devices also light up. This indicates that the settings have been applied. If you suddenly do not see green diodes on any of the devices, then just click the apply button again.

Here you and I can connect the details to a third-party Wi-Fi access point. This should be done if you need to have access to the Internet when you work with props, or if you have a lot of props, and then working with props in a Wi-Fi access point will be much more convenient and faster. We'll connect the props to Wi-Fi a little later, but for now I'll tell you what we can configure next. Here we can also select the interface language, and we can change additional settings. I'll talk about them in the next video. Here you can find information about your device. You can see what model of device you have, what version of firmware is currently in use, how much charge you have left, and how much free space you have for storing programs on your device at the moment.

Let's connect our props to the Wi-Fi access point. Here you can select the access points that are currently available to you. That is, you select your access point, enter your password and click apply. The interface will ask you for confirmation. Click “Confirm”. And we see that our settings have been applied. As you can see, our device turned off. Here we see a notification that the connection with the device has been lost. This means that the device either turned off or lost connection to it. Please also pay attention to these alerts.

Let's now turn our device into standby mode and you and I will notice some changes. When we have set up a Wi-Fi network, we will no longer see a blue LED, but a purple one. This means that you and I will no longer find the PIXEL_NET network when we turn on the device. This means that the devices have connected to a third-party access point, and we should already be looking for these devices in the third-party access point. Let's try to do this. To

do this, we need to connect to the same access point where we have the props connected. We go to Wi-Fi settings. My network is already configured, and it connected automatically. Now I need to go to the props web interface. When we connect the props to

a third-party access point, the web interface address changes. This address is now different. And in order to enter it, we need to type pixel1.local. Please note that if you have connected the props to a third-party access point, the web interface address is different: pixel1.local. If you have an older version of Android smartphones, then this address may not work. On all other devices you can easily open the web interface at this address.

So, we typed the address, and the web interface opens. We are loading a musical composition, and you and I can check how the playback works. As you can see everything works. Playback starts on the props and in the web interface. Here I’ll immediately note once again that our program does not load in the web interface.

If you need to see it in the web interface, you just need to click on the AI ​​button and wait until the program loads. After that, close smart mode and start playback again. And the program will already be displayed. Let me remind you that this is done to make the web interface load faster. Let's try changing the program to another one. To do this, click on the line with the name of the program and select the second cell of the program. Once the program has loaded, we can start

playing. As you can see, the program is also reproduced, with another musical composition playing. And when changing the program, the program itself with pictures is also not displayed. We can also click on AI mode and the program will load, after which we can see it in the main web interface. Close the window and press play. As you can see, the modes are displayed. We are connected to a hotspot that has Internet access. Let's try

to generate images and see how the generation works. To do this, we go to the AI ​​interface and Click “Change settings”. Next, “Adding images” and click “Generate pictures”. Here we need to write a query to generate. Let's say, let's write “Rose on a black background.” Here you can write what we need to exclude from the picture. Let's write so that there is no vase in the picture. And you can also select one of four styles and after that

we need to click the “Generate” button. Generation takes some time. As you can see, our image has been generated. We can increase it. To do this, you can open the picture in a new tab and we can already see it in an enlarged size.

After we have generated the pictures, we can create a new program. To do this, click “Apply settings”. We confirm, and we create a program using the pictures that we added. Let's find this picture. As you can see, here it is. Let's try to move it to the beginning. And now let’s save the program to our device. Let's close the interface now and see what this picture looks like. As you can see, our picture is being played.

I think we have figured out the web interface. If you have any questions about the web interface, you can write them in the comments. Now let's look at some details in working with the props. What changes are there in the operation of the props when we load multiple programs? Let's start playback. And as you and I remember, if we held down the button when there was only one program, a blue LED was first displayed, that is, we could turn on the standby mode. Now, since we have two programs loaded, we can select these programs on the props. In order to select programs, you now need to unlock

program selection. We have to hold the button. Now we will have an additional green LED. That is, it will first display a green LED, and then a blue one. That is, we will now release the button on the green LED. We release the button - our selection of programs is unlocked. And now, when we briefly press the button, we have a menu displayed that shows the number of the selected program. That is, we can switch programs between the first and second. That is, we chose the second one. And after we release the button, playback starts. And

now, if we want to use this program, for example, at a performance, we have previously selected it and put the props into standby mode, and now when we start the program, we will launch the second program. If we need the first program to start, we also first remove the lock and press until the green LED appears. Select the first program and put it in standby mode. And now when we press the button, our first program will launch. I think I said everything I wanted. If you still have any questions, you can ask them in the comments. We will try to update our instructions over time. I recommend that you watch the following video, which is intended for professionals. There we

will talk in more detail about additional settings for the operation of props, as well as how to create complex show programs for props. That's all for today. Thank you for your attention!
