- | Feel free to enter text\\ | + | Everything you want to do with FreeStyler can be done with a keyboard and mouse in the software itself, but for many people, having tactile controls like buttons, faders and knobs is more intuitive and more like what some people are used to with traditional lighting desks. FreeStyler allows you to hook up a number of different external controls including touchscreens, |

+ | One MIDI interface is available via a USB port.\\ | ||
+ | If more MIDI interfaces are to be used then a patch program like MIDI-OX and MIDI Yoke can be used.\\ | ||
+ | MIDI-OX combines MIDI signal from more devices into one.\\ | ||
+ | You can do a lot more with MIDI-OX, and MIDI Yoke is a Virtual MIDI cable, so you can connect the MIDI controller to MIDI-OX and from MIDI ox with a virtual MIDI cable (MIDI Yoke) to FreeStyler.\\ | ||

- | Fresstyler supports external control using a simple TCP/IP connection, developers can communicate with Freestyler using either a simple byte[] or ASKII protocol. | + | Example commands for ASCII **FSOC002255**\\ |
+ | The command above is broken down into: | ||
+ | * FSOC : FreeStyler Command | ||
+ | * 002 : Command Code from reference document (in this instance 002 is blackout) | ||
+ | * 255 command parameter (255 is button down, 0 is button up. For sliders e.g intensity or speed value between 0-255) | ||
- | Example commands for ASKII FSOC002255 | + | Request button captions and other data Byte Protocol: 9 bytes |

+ | === Remote control via wifi. === | ||
\\ | \\ | ||
+ | Freestyler can be remotely controlled via smart phone or tablet, allowing the user to move around and still keep in control of Freestyler or adjust their lighting. \\ | ||
+ | It may also serve as a secondary touch screen to compliment alongside the main display.\\ | ||
