Hi Alan, thanks for reply, i need a cable IDC that is 1.4mts long, is there away to join 2-3 smaller cables or can i find one long one, cheers

if the above works ie all date left to right and ide cables cant be longer than 36 inches, = running two PIs=Hats for th matrix. if so how can i daisy chain the two PIs via ethernet. data input for matrix is via F3 controller in and out, i dont have any more space on my router for another...

think i may ahve worked it out, my matrix starts top right (looking from the back ) i think i need to realign the panels (obviously he says to himself) however data only flows in one direction. thus setup (rear view) would be New - O1 - p1->p2->p3->p4- p5->p6->p7->p8 and the...

setup has been same for 8 years, no power problems or hot wiring, but understand concerns, if i flip panels then starting corners will be left hand side viewed from back, not RHS, .wont his screw up any data from xlights. As xlights model is still same node layout as before change of hardware?

here is rotated panels 1&2 back and fpp test, only panels 1&2 connected hence odd lights and black on panels 5-8 cheers and again thanks for yout help and patience :) Boof

that made it better Alan, in that each test pattern is aligned within each panel, but row 1 & 3 are still 180 degrees out of sync and reversed compared with row 2 & 4 as per picture previous. ANy thoughts please?

HI all,i have a matrix pf p10 panels 4 x4 , that was running of an old hinx pix controller (2015?). anyways been faulty last two years. Have now got a pihat from Hanson electronics and fpp9.3.3 running. FPP test pattern is messed up on the first row 1-4 panels and third row 9-12 (test image is...

2 dimension or 3 dimension objects, if 2d cutouts, make some sort of frame that you can support your cutouts with and use longer tek screws to tie down to roof, (have 24 *75 matrix which sits on ridge line and three supports behind it back to 3 longer tek screws -leave in roof ) i used...

Lego Movie 2- at least its current, lol cheers Boof63

Also thinking of changing to bullets from strip, reckon 2" is much better resolution and for gifs/video. miles in front. thanks for the heads up , now i have to convince the finance officer ,cheers Boof63

just put a red light on top for low flying jumbos to avoid. Cheers Boof63

made two infinity mirrors, pretty easy following instructions off of internet. So disguising edges would be good, could you get a skeleton to drop an imaginary pisec of dirt and get sound effect for falling into a deep hole to represent depth? Cheers love the idea. ps headstone out of...
