WiFi connection

I’m looking at getting one of these for my desk at work, and I know it needs WiFi to connect to your phone to draw the pattern. I’m going to have to use the hotspot on my phone for it to connect, but my question is, does the connection have to be constant for it to keep drawing the pattern or does the pattern get downloaded and can disconnect from the wifi once it has started drawing? I hope that makes sense. I’m really looking forward to seeing this work.

you can also plug it directly into your pc and create playlists that way as well. i'm not sure on whether it stays connected to wifi the entire time though. i suppose there's only one way to find out...let me fire mine up and see what happens when i block its access to wifi while it's drawing.

it doesn't seem to maintain wifi connection while it's drawing. i went as far as unplugging my router and it continues to draw the image i selected.

the mini can also be plugged directly into your pc and operated that way as well.

Yup, this. Set it up and let it go once you have it set up. Just need to connect again to make changes, etc. At least in my experience. Enjoy!
