Hi there. I have seen a few videos where people have lit up large Christmas presents on their lawn (which I’m assuming is a transparent plastic). Is there a large addressable LED which would be suitable for something like this?

Hi all, not quite sure where to put this question. If like to know if Falcon Pi Player has an API or the ability to receive strings from an external IP based control system for control. In my line of work, we use Crestron and Extron quite heavily to control cameras, displays, external...

I had a quick look, I don't remember setting anything up in here as most of it was handled by Xlights. Do I need to turn something off?

Update 05/01/2024, So after a few days solid tinking, I have my first demo working! I went to Altronics today and bought some addressable LED's so I could do some testing. https://www.altronics.com.au/p/x3222a-ws2812b-addressable-rgb-magic-led-strip-light-1.3m/ I had an old lab power supply at...

Hi Skymaster. Turning off Monitoring was the big clue. I forget to mention that my Pixel lights have not arrived yet, so I am testing a bit blindly. I have setup this controllor as a slave, and now when I run a Playlist on FPP, can I see the LED Indicator flashing on the front of the unit...

Hi Johnnyboy, good to hear from you! The interesting part is the people I’ve spoken to and met so far aren’t from backgrounds like myself! There seems to be a diverse range of people from all kinds of backgrounds which has been interesting to find out. It’s good to know that there is a growing...

I just checked your lighting location, I grew up in Swan View, and I used to know someone on your street, small world!

Is this device worth trialling for the price? Do you have a snap shot of your Xlights configuration for it?

Just noticed your post code, are you in the Midland /Swan View area?

I think you’re right, I remember having a chat with him last year. We’ve already done the rounds of the Christmas lights this, and it’s back to work soon ☹️. I had a look behind the scenes at a house near Atwell (I think) which was enlightening! Also saw an awesome setup near Clarkson! A lot...

Thanks for that, how did this device workout for you in the end? The device I purchased has major restrictions with IP addressing. Did you get yours working correctly?

Hi there, It was suggested that I do a bit of an introduction about myself, so here I am! I am an Audio Visual Integrator from Western Australia. For the past 15 years I have been heavily involved with commercial projects as a commissioner, service technician, and more recently as an...

Forgot to mention, I turned off the monitoring option. Made no difference at this point. I'm annoyed that the only LAN communication I get is when this POS is hardwired to my PC directly.

HI All, Thanks for chiming in. There were a lot of questions, so I will try to answer one by one as best I can. 1. What is the IP of FPP? How are FPP and the Artnet device connected? Anwers - The FPP has a eth0 address of 192.168.0.10. these are connected via Hardwired ethernet. The Artnet...

I am pinging from Windows 10. Where do I find the ping option in FPP?
