Confirmed. And they didn't go POP, thankfully.

Unplugged Ethernet from Baldrick port, tried test mode with button 1, button 2, button 1+2, no effect. Computer is off for the night but I noticed earlier that holding down the buttons on the board actually trigger the same effect as clicking the box in the web UI. If you hold the buttons, the...

So I noticed something a little strange, but repeatable tonight. When I unplug the enclosure (pull the main power plug), the pixels flash before going out. If I have a test mode turned on when this occurs, you can see the test mode for a few milliseconds. If I choose green, I can see green...

DI is visible and is on the female end as you suggested, and this is the end that I have connected to the board. For funsies I tried the other way, and the result is the same, which is, to say, not exactly what I might have expected. In both cases, holding down button 2 or button 1 did not yield...

Ok, so made some good progress now. I have them both on the network, and they are communicating (baldrick and fpp) However, my test string is just sitting idle with all blue state, same as when I first turn them on with no FPP running (don't ask me why, seems almost like a test, but I have no...

Hello, still some newb questions... been working on and off on my setup and I think I can see some light at the end of the tunnel. So I've got a baldrick 8 setup and working. I've got my props wired. I've got a layout and sequence setup in xLights. I've got FPP setup on a Beaglebone Black. I...

So I have started my first display, nothing extravagant - some window outlines (6x) and gutter peaks (3x) and a megatree kit from boscoyo. Starting to push pixels and want to get things on the house soon, but I'm still struggling with figuring out where to get started with sequencing. Any...

What is the underlying reason for elevating though? Is there concern for electrical reasons, other materials, or just that you want it entirely visible all the time, not hidden by snow? For elevating, one thought I've had is to basically invert a few short poles similar to the center pole and...

How many strings and pixels/string are you looking at for the smaller one? Do you plan to elevate them off the ground at all? Is it particularly necessary to elevate trees like I've seen a lot of people do? I like the relative simplicity and availability of materials with this design...

Ok. I'm trying to do some planning and need to ask some questions so I can go a little further with the plan before making any purchases. I'm thinking for the first year to go with something a little smaller, perhaps a few mini trees and candy canes and making use of my existing string lights...

Hey there, I've been interested in Christmas Lighting and sequencing ever since I saw the first youtube videos years ago of people sequencing. As an embedded software engineer by day, I'm intrigued to see what I can do to 'up my display'. I have a feeling that there will be more posts from me in...
