First, if you are using Windows 11, please navigate to the 'Device settings' section under 'Bluetooth & devices' in 'Settings'. Under 'Bluetooth devices discovery' change the type from 'Defaul't to 'Advanced'. Now, click 'Add device' and locate the Mavrik Pro in the available BLE devices list and select it for pairing. If the Mavrik Pro is paired it will play a solid cyan light on all LED strips.

StrikerLink Connection
If you are using the desktop version of StrikerLink you can now run the application. If you are on an Android based XR headset and have StrikerLink installed, the Mavrik will automatically connect to StrikerLink. If it does not, simply navigate to your app library and run the app. When a connection is made to StrikerLink the Mavrik Pro LEDs will cascade forward in purple, followed by solid purple after the cascade. Your blaster is now ready to interface with your game or game engine.
In your web browser navigate to http://localhost:5046 . On android devices you will need to enter your devices IP address followed by port 5046 into your browser. i.e. 192.168.1.10:5046. Here you should find our web service UI, Mavrik Manager. When your device is connected it will show up in your device list (see below).
