Key Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pure Simplicity<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

GnuckLite was created to eliminate the complexity associated with traditional lighting consoles. With a sleek and intuitive user interface, even those without prior experience can instantly bring a professional lighting look to their event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wireless Control via Android App<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Connect to your GnuckLite through our user-friendly Android app. Customize colors, themes, animations, and even audio\u2014all at your fingertips. GnuckLite creates its own wireless network and can also connect to a local WiFi network. Let your creativity shine without limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible Music Sync: Built-in Microphone and RCA Input<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For maximum convenience, GnuckLite is equipped with a built-in microphone for simplified audio synchronization. You can also connect your favorite audio sources via the RCA input for a lighting experience in harmony with the music. An audio-independent mode is also available!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety Over 512 Channels<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With electrically isolated DMX outputs via optocoupling, GnuckLite\u2019s DMX output allows you to safely control your devices across a full DMX universe of 512 channels. Create stunning lighting sequences that adapt to any space, from intimate bars to large events.<\/p>\n\n\n

The GnuckLite Device<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The GnuckLite device is capable of managing lights independently, with the app only used for configuration or live control. This means it can, for example, follow audio, randomly change animations and colors (whether according to a theme or not), without needing to be connected to the app. The device is equipped with an internal Wi-Fi antenna to create the access point that your Android phone or tablet connects to for configuring the lights via the GnuckLite app from several meters away. The device can also connect to a local WiFi network for greater range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A built-in microphone is included if you don\u2019t have an RCA output. The device has internal memory that will remember your settings even after a restart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The box has two perforated edges to allow it to be mounted on a wall for a fixed installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the box, you will find three connectors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DMX Output<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Connect the DMX line to which your devices are connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RCA Input<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Connect the L or R of your audio RCA cable here. Tip: You can plug it into the REC out of a mixer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Plug in the output of the wall adapter provided with your device<\/p>\n\n\n

Connecting to the Access Point<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Follow these steps if your Android device is not already set up to connect to the GnuckLite access point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Turn on Wi-Fi on your Android device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Connect to the GnuckLite AP network. The default password for your device is available in the Help section of the app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If using a dedicated device, you can enable automatic reconnection to the GnuckLite network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Note:<\/strong> Your device's Internet functionality will be disabled while connected to the GnuckLite access point. To connect to an existing Wi-Fi network, refer to the \"Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network\" section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Troubleshooting:<\/strong> If the device refuses to connect, ensure it is powered on and that you are close enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    Follow these steps if a local Wi-Fi network is available and you wish to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Go to the \u201cSettings\u201d section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Click on \u201cWi-Fi Settings.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • While connected to the GnuckLite access point, enter the SSID (network name) and password of your local Wi-Fi network. Click \u201cOK.\u201d The app will send the connection information to your GnuckLite device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Click \u201cWi-Fi Settings\u201d again: the GnuckLite should have returned its IP address if you did not already know it. Click \u201cOK\u201d to save the IP address in the app. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Connect your Android device to the local Wi-Fi network. You should now be able to control the GnuckLite device over the local Wi-Fi network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Note: <\/strong>It is recommended to configure a static IP address for the GnuckLite in your router (it will appear as ESP32_\u2026). You can now connect to your Wi-Fi network on your Android device for a better connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
