# Demo Mode

The Raw Panel Demo application connects to one or more Raw Panel units, retrieves their topology data, and provides dynamic feedback to their hardware components. This includes updating button colors, display contents, and other visual elements in a cyclic manner, showcasing the panel's capabilities.

Additionally, the application responds to triggers from the connected panels, such as button presses, knob rotations, fader movements, and joystick interactions. These interactions are reflected both on the panels themselves and in the application logs, creating a comprehensive demonstration of the panels' functionality.

Install the raw-panel-demo package on the packages page.

Click in the package to set the parameters, connect to other panels, to run in, and access its own web interface.

<p class="callout info">**Panels MUST be in 'Raw Panel Mode' in order for the Demo app to connect to them.**  
You can enable and disable Raw Panel Mode on the Settings page.  
This also means that Reactor cannot run at the same time.</p>

Accessing it via it's own interface gives the same options in a cleaner application interface.
