I've uploaded six shaders. All my shaders allow color substitution from xLights color panel, and may include positioning or other controls to tune the shader. They'll be added to the xLights catalog in a future release. Note that any effect (including shaders) with exposed Value Curves can be...
The rule of thumb is that power must be applied within 100 pixels for 12V, and within 50 pixels for 5V. For a 5V, 150 pixel string, power and data is applied at one end of the string, and power is injected between pixels 100 and 101. Power will go either or both ways on a wire, so the pixels...
Note Kulp's standard naming method for their products. If it ends in a 'PB,' it uses a Pocket Beagle, if it's 'B,' a BeagleBone Black or Green is used. If it's an 'AB,' the board is audio capable, and uses a BeagleBone Black or Green. The transmitter Kulp sells mounts to a header installed...
This is what I wrote to correct the wiring for a model in my layout. It's crude, but it did the job for me. You will need to look at the loading of the mapping array. This was written for a matrix. It remaps the submodels. You'll need the new node layout of the model. Execution starts with...
If cost becomes a concern, you might want to look into a controller (Falcon F16, Kulp K16 A-B) that supports receiver boards. Locate the controller at one tree, and the receiver at the other. Both would require power supplies. Another option would be a smaller controllers (Falcon F4, Kulp K4...
I was there until 12:20. I left for an hour to clear snow. We had 15 cm/6" last night, and now we are expecting heavy rain. I couldn't take a chance on it freezing up.I'm headed back to zoom now.
Format the SD card, re-install the FPP software, and meet me in the xLights Zoom room. If you can't do it now, let me know when you can meet me there. I'm on AST or UTC - 4.
If you connect to the USB port, you can access the FPP (K4-PB) using one of the following IP addresses:
192.168.6.2 (MAC or Linux)
192.168.7.2 (Windows)
This is in the manual on pages 13-14. Once connected, you can set up the Nano.
You may have to set up networking on your computer to...
