I'd just like to put in a thank you post to this amazing community! I'm in my second year and have been battling the ESTOP failures from last year's pixels. It's been a frustrating experience replacing every second light. Next year I know to have full string backups! I had a member of the...

Checking the basics - is this FPP running on a BBB attached to a board? Is this a new setup or have you used this before and it's now not working?

@Nelly79 you need to populate the unicast address field with the IP address of the controller. If you're using xlights it should do this for you when you use FPP connect

Can you share a screenshot of the FPP connect window? I had this issue consistently every upload about 4 months ago and I think changing the type from V2/Sparse to just V2 fixed it for me.

I stand corrected! Thanks @Skymaster

As far as I understand in master/remote the master has high level information on total universes, channels and ips of controllers. Each remote has the models and and channel info for each controller. I only have one FPP instance and it definitely has all of my models, channel info, universes...

Actually @macca76 noticed you mentioned fpp. If fpp is sending your show data then that is what has your layouts, models, config etc. so you should be able to safely reset the f48. I'm not sure if you can import an fseq from your FPP into xlights but that could be a way for you to recover what...

That's a real shame, I'm not sure you've got too many other options with the current controller - unless anyone else here can think of anything. There are a number of cloning tools and recovery tools available for recovering data from your external drive. I can suggest SpinRite...

That makes things a bit more challenging. Have you tried any of my physical connection test suggestions above, just to rule out a dodgy cable. The manual also says that the 2 ethernet ports at the top are connected to an internal switch so you should also be able to try the second port (just...

Might be worth factory resetting the controller and/or updating the firmware to the latest version. Factory reset procedure below. Have you also confirmed that the cable you're plugging into the network port actually does work? Perhaps try plugging it into a laptop and checking.

Can definitely say I'm in the same position. Halloween outlines are still up but need to be fixed due to some more dead pixels. Song half sequenced. It'll all work out!

Welcome to the forums and this great hobby. 1. The simple answer is no, you would need a 5v PSU to run these lights. 2. Most controllers and/or smart receiver combinations could achieve this. Whether or not you need multiple seperate runs and/or power injections to your outlines and windows...

Most controllers will do both I think. I'm more familiar with E1.31 as I use it but DDP has significant benefits. There are others here more familiar with the DDP protocol than I am

Perhaps if you can post your configuration from the xlights controllers screen and the FPP outputs screen - sounds like there is a configuration issue somewhere.

Are the colours correct if you use "output to lights" in xlights to run your show? Or is it incorrect for both FPP and xLights?
