📡 First-Time Setup
Once the Wi-Fi firmware is installed you will see the LED display come up with a Wi-Fi screen. On your phone or computer open your list of Wi-Fi access points and do the following.
- Connect to LEDDISPLAY
- Password:
password - Open a browser and go to
192.168.4.1 - Select Configure Wi-Fi
- Select your network and enter your password
- Click Save
It should then connect to your wireless network. It will scroll the IP address of the LED display on your network; you want to make note of this. Once it has displayed the IP it will start playing animations. At this point if you are connected you should be able to access the display through a web browser on a system on your home network.
🌐 Accessing the Display
Once connected, the display will scroll its IP address before starting animations. Use this IP to access it from your browser.
You can also check your router or firewall to find the IP address.
