Last 2 nights all has started without any issues. I’ve moved the FM transmitter about 2m away and I’m suspecting the USB port may not have a great connection on the BBB but I’ll look at that after the season is over.
Hi Alan,
Fm transmitter is just over 1m away from my setup, If needed I can move it further away?
Hi skymaster,
Oled screen is working and I’m sure Ive seen the screen flash cape detected…. Lights worked fine last night just no sound.
Do you think this one from Bunnings would work. Picture...
UPDATE: I dragged my setup back inside and updated to v9.4 (please work tonight) and I’ve noticed after a number of restarts and reboots the SB3 isn’t being detected and often the temperature isn’t showing on the HE123 Oled screen or on the pc.
Setup:
HE123mk2 (with battery) for stand alone.
BBB
FPP8.5
Sound blaster player3
Question:
Is it possible to run directly to the BBB via a laptop with out a switching hub and/or internet.
Why:
My lights start up every night without issues however I have to restart the system multiple time...
I've made a play list and schedule and that is working however when I manual try to play the list or songs it will not do it. I'll attempt to video so I can show
I’m lucky enough Christmas Props Australia is only a couple of towns from me, there props are good and plenty to choose from, always good fast communication and happy to suggest ideas if stuck. It’s sad to lose anyone supplying to our hobby.
Yes but couldn’t get it to play, last year before making a play list I could select a song from the list and it would play so I could check all was working.
