#### **Step 3: Using WLED**

The **Nougat Quad Mini** comes pre-installed with **WLED firmware** for controlling your LED strips wirelessly. Here's how to get started:

**Connecting to WLED**

1. Power up the Nougat Quad Mini and wait for it to boot.
2. Use your smartphone or computer to search for a WiFi network named **"WLED-AP"**.
3. Connect to the network. The default password is **"wled1234"**.
4. Open a browser and navigate to **192.168.4.1**. This will open the WLED configuration page.

**Configuring WLED**

1. Enter your home WiFi network details under **WiFi Setup**.
   * Once connected, the Nougat Quad will obtain an IP address from your router.
2. Save settings and reconnect to your home WiFi to access WLED using the assigned IP address.

**Customizing LEDs**

* Use the WLED app (available on **iOS** and **Android**) or the web interface to control:
  * **Brightness**
  * **Colors**
  * **Patterns**
  * **Custom sequences**
* Take advantage of **independent channel control** to display different effects on each LED strip.

* Check connections and ensure polarity is correct.
* Verify that the power supply meets the required specifications (5V, 5A).

**WiFi Connection Issues**

* Restart the Nougat and try reconnecting to the WLED-AP network.
* Ensure your router supports 2.4GHz WiFi (WLED does not support 5GHz).

**Firmware Update**
