That's probably the easiest method. I'm still curious of any doable long range network possibilities if anyone has any ideas. Edit: Could I just use a f4v3 for this matrix and store the show file on an sd card?

I'm trying to develop a wireless matrix sign that I can put at the end of my neighborhood to direct people to the show and display a countdown to the next show. I was thinking of using WS2812B 12V pixels and pi with falcon to control the matrix. The plan was to store the file on the pi to...

No, I just didn't see any other threads discussing the v3.

is anyone having any issues with the ip being 000.000.000.000. My router's IP is 192.168.1.1 and both are in DHCP mode?

I've gotten to the universe limit for my 1st pixel bone.

ok I've been messaging smartalec and he's been helping a lot.

ok thanks I will put it in bridge mode and follow the video. at this point I've been trying things and when I get stuck asking others how to get past a certain point. I should take what i have learned today on the forums and go and apply it, and if i get stuck again I'll be back.

http://www.diyledexpress.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22&products_id=157 using this to connect a few dumb control board to my LOR show, did it last year and it was fine, but now trying to integrate the beagle bone + pixel bone running falcon player...

Show PC (Running LOR S4) -> Lighting Ethernet Switch -> Beagle Bone + Pixel Bone -> WS2811's

just looking back on this as I setup everything. do I need an e1.31 to dmx bridge? currently I run some DMX devices that bridge to E1.31 and connect to a switch. I connect those e1.31 to LOR, wouldn't this work the same way? i would just go from beagle bone to network switch to LOR PC

when do you need then by? (when do you start?) he ships in 4-7 days if you ask and you'll probably get them a week or two after.

what would you use to control from your phone? Is it integrated in FPP? or is a stand alone remote desktop control app that you run in addition to FPP on the Pi.

I guess I just don't understand why if its not supplying the power and if it is the other "end" why it needs to be doubled. I will do it that way as you say it is better, but I think that if I am going to proceed with this technique, that I should know the technical reason why I am doing so.

I'd rather go with pixels as I could definitely use them in my show and the price difference doesn't seem to big. Could I go with these...

assuming these are both 10cm spacing like most of the nodes http://www.aliexpress.com/item/WS2811-LED-pixel-node-DC5V-input-full-color-RGB-string-50pcs-a-string-IP68-rated/581805567.html?ws_ab_test=201556_6,201527_3_71_72_73_74_75,0_0 5m ($10) x 20 = 100m ($200) SMART PIXELS...
