## Common questions

### Do the default GPIO pins work for a common 32×8 clock?

The shipped defaults match the common 32×8 clock wiring. Every pin is configurable.

### How do I get AWTRIX onto my Wi-Fi?

On first boot, and whenever it cannot reach a known network, AWTRIX opens its own provisioning access point.

### What does initial setup for a Ulanzi/Awtrix device involve?

A Home Assistant community thread walks through initial setup, including replacing the factory firmware with Awtrix. It also notes a sharpness-limited display, poor energy efficiency, and a weak battery.
