FPP on RPi => ethernet switch => Baldrick Power cables Same connector on pixels as you are getting on the Baldrick. If you are doing music, then some way to play that music. The actual forms for arches and mini trees. Some way too secure them. Extension cables from Baldrick to props. Patience...

Another case where you should get some personal help in the zoom room. I suspect you have multiple "show" folders and you probably need to find the latest (before the issues).

Educating yourself before sinking a lot of money is good but more importantly, try something and expand from there. Buying a kit is good step. Post a link to the exact setup you have and we could advise better. Honestly, that is good hardware. Hook it up and see what it can do for you. Then when...

If the chip is damaged, it won't pass data.

Welcome. It is an interesting hobby.

Post a picture of the matrix wiring and a screenshot of your model. This is very likely a mismatch between the model and your prop.

1. Do you have a separate player for the side yard? If so, you can make two versions of the static sequences and schedule the dim version for the same time as your front yard is playing their sequences. 2. Since you are running all FPP based controllers, check out the brightness control plugin...

Dan got the answer before I could finish my search If you use FPP, there is plugin that called fpp-midi which sounds like it would work for you. It is a midi listener. If you use xschedule, you can use the Events on the Edit menu. I don't use either so just pointing the direction. Old video...

60 amp wiring would be huge. I think you would have to run #4 to the outlets? And locally, most outlets are 20A max before going to dryer/stove/air conditioner style. And then you have the problem of converting the outlet down to something you can you use in your show which logically would need...

Really cool what you did. Must have taken a lot of time to put it all together. Really liked that you included like "everything" and built a nice show. Really liked the tree in the window changing themes along the way. Very effective. Good job!

@MTT I made an assumption that since you were on this site, that you have downloaded and read through the 101 manual. You can find it on the home page in the banner under the home icon. It is a good read to get you up to speed to many parts of the hobby. This will save you have from having to...

Alternatives to LOR for AC include Renard controllers and there were two complete boxes for sale at doityourselfchristmas.com earlier today for very reasonable money. Looks like they are spoken for but you can keep your eyes out over there and find some good gear. A somewhat inexpensive way to...

If you don't know @dirknerkle or his work...he is a prolific inventor from the early 200x and 201x who was mainly working with incandescent and LED string controllers. Most had been adapted for some version of wifi. (I think he said that in post #1) Here are two avenues to documentation (I...

First thing I would do is read or watch about the visualizer. It looks like the config was mostly done using the process from a few years ago. I see a couple of controllers that use the visualizer. You should try to use for all controllers/props that you can. The reason is that it is easier to...

Yes.
