How to Use IGNITE Free-Shoot

The IGNITE App supports two firing styles: automated and manual. The automated firing option uses shows created in the IGNITE Show Designer software, while the manual Free-Shoot option is built directly into the IGNITE app—no additional software needed. This guide will outline how to use Free-Shoot in the IGNITE app to manually select cues and modules to fire your fireworks.

Step 1: Prepare your modules.

Turn on and pair the module(s) you plan to fire with to the IGNITE App. For more information, please see How to Onboard/Pair an IGNITE module to the IGNITE App.
 

Step 2: Open the Free-Shoot menu.

Step 3: Select your firing module.

Your paired modules will be listed on the right side of the screen. Tap on the module you would like to fire. If you only have one module connected, that module will be selected by default.

Warning:

If you’re using app version 6.24+ on Android or 14.37+ on iOS, you’ll need to perform continuity checks manually. For more details, please check out How to Check Connected Igniters for Continuity.

Step 4: Select your firing cue.

Tap on the cue number that you want to fire first. Cues with continuity will display in green. Cues without continuity will display in grey. 

Step 5: Fire your cue.

Tap the red button with the burst icon on the left side of the screen to fire the selected cue. The selected cue will then turn red to indicate it has fired.

Tip:

Did you know? When you add a firework to your free-shoot cue, its duration shows right inside the red fire button. Handy for keeping track of how long each effect will last! Check out How To Add Fireworks to Cues in Free-Shoot for more details.

Step 6: Keep going!

Tap another cue, or another module, to continue firing.
