USB Features
If you have the USB interface, we provide a few sample programs to interface with your device and change
settings, play back your own animations, etc. Check around
to get the latest instructions
and/or software for that.
Basic Button Commands
The two buttons are named A and B. “A”
denotes A button up, “a” denotes A button
