Cruise™ roamer will automatically change the LED fx pattern during the
photo booth session as configured within the app.
Depending on the app developer’s choice of app states the roamer can
offer as little as two modes throughout the session to dozens. The
roamers developer API allows app developers to provide 13 unique fx
patterns with 32-bit color support (16,777,216 possible colors) along
with other fx pattern parameter settings. With these settings you can
truly configure the LEDs to match any event’s theme and colors.
