Start

The software will automatically recognize the Binary pedal you connected, but it can only manage one pedal at a time, so if you
connect multiple Binary pedals, only the first one you connected will be recognized.
If you launch the Binary software with no device connected (or a device not recognized), “No Device Connected” message will
come up to inform you to check the connection.
