* Scrolling text will show up once you change a few settings! Click on **Config**, then **2D Configuration**. Select **2D Matrix**, click the circle next to **Basic**, change the **Panel Dimensions** to **64 x 64** and click **Save**. Next click on **Config**, then **LED Preferences**. set **Chain Length** to **1** then uncheck the "enable automatic brightness limiter and click **Save**. <a href="https://wiki.apolloautomation.com/products/m1/setup/m1-matrix-settings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener">Full configuration of settings here</a>.

* Although the device does not come with IR, it does <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091TGDS6F" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener">support the WizMote</a> over "ESP-NOW" and this works great inside of WLED! *Currently needs a special firmware compiled.*

* Audio-reactive WLED is built into the WLED firmware we ship with the M-1. Just make sure to enable it from the "info" pane and then try using an effect with the little Musical Note Image next to them!

* Yes! You can directly connect to the access point of your WLED device without a network using a phone or laptop. Look for "WLED-AP" in your Wi-Fi client list and enter in the password "wled1234", head to [http://4.3.2.1](http://4.3.2.1) or [http://wled.me](http://wled.me) then control your device!
