Android Instructions

To begin start with these steps
- Ensure the device is up-to-date (use a PC)
- Switch the device off and unplug it from USB
On lightshow.lol with an Android Device:
- Select the device you wish to program – either a Chromadeck, Spark, or Duo.
- Click the Connect button to open the Bluetooth Device list
- Now switch the device on and it should appear in the list
