Windows 11 Dynamic Lighting
Now the Fun Begins...
New toys! Windows 11 is now packaged with a built-in lighting controller shown in Figure 3.
While we pride ourselves on creating great software... There's a ton of software these days. With this method you can free yourself of another software download when you plug the lytestick into a Windows 11 PC.
Dynamic Lighting can control the Brightness, Color, and Effect of the lytestick.
While this setting is active, Windows will control the device. If you want to change to another method of control, make sure to disable this feature during that time.

USB Conduit App
Check out what we have in mind...
We've built lighting control in some very cool ways.
Of course the lytestick can strobe and fade between colors, but we're really excited about...
The lytestick can dance with music and it can match the color of pixels on the computer monitor!
Download the application below, and when you run it, simply set the COM port of the light in the settings, and voila! You've got control.
From there, you can play with basic control, and experiment with Auto(Figure 4.)
Are you a gamer? Match the pixel onto your Health bar, Status icon, etc and you'll have an outward indicator!

Locate or Install a Serial Communication Tool
Locate or download and install a terminal program like Tera Term, or RealTerm. These tools allow you to send and receive data through a COM port.
Configure Serial Communication Settings

- Data Bits: 8.
- Parity: None.
- Stop Bits: 1.

Format your lytestick Control String
The lytestick is controlled by one big key/pair combination. Choose one of the values from the first packet, or define a specific color with the second variation:
Send the lytestick Control Packet
Enter the control packet in the program's input field and send the data. Some tools require you to press a Send button, while others allow pressing Enter.
