I had to test it while it was fresh it my head, that appears to have fixed the issue! Absolute lengend!

Yep, making a bit more sense now. I don’t like it from a “logical numbering” point of view, but I think I have a handle now. I will need to test tomorrow. That’s why I was confused, yes I was aware that is was two receivers in one, but what was stumping me was the fact that you can’t/don’t...

I think the Penny just dropped looking at this. I don’t need to worry about ports 17-20 at all. This means I should have a 21A-24A, and a 21B-24B. So the numbers for the ports are common, but not the letters if I’m right?

Everything in the attached picture is what is connected. Everything worked fine when the SRx2 had its dial set to “0”, and I tested ports “17-20” and “21-24” on the falcons test mode. I didn’t realise the quirk until I was testing in xlights then found out about the external controller mode...

Hey everyone, I’m chasing a bit of help getting my SRx2 working properly with my F16v5. I am trying to get all 8 ports working on the SRx2. I’ve got an SRx2 v4.3 smart receiver wired up to the Falcon F16v5 (board version 1.03). The dial on the SRx2 is set to “A” and termination is ON. Power...

Update: I spoke directly with David at Falcon about this issue. It’s not something that can be fixed on my end, and he’s already organised to send me a replacement board. Big thanks to David — really nice guy and very helpful to deal with. 👍

Hi there. I was running test mode. I had the RGBW sequence running, which is how I know my first first ports were wired correctly, and the same with my expansion board. Port “9” instantly brought up the led fault lights when I plugged in a string of 50 pixels. That’s the moment that ports...

Hi there, as mentioned before, both V1 and v2 were connected at the time of testing. Polarity was correct as the first 8 outputs worked fine, and external and v2 power for the falcon computer tested and powered up ok. No polarity issues, no voltage issues. From what I know (and please correct...

Supply voltage is fine. Stable 12v. I’ve also powered up the board without issues, and an external expansion board. Are there any mystery dip switch settings or anything weird I have missed. Not home to take anymore photos right now, but as I explained, “V1” is deliberately isolated right...

Also, I am running a separate power supply for "V2" but I don't think that would be an issue. Its a beefy boy mean well and it is working fine on my external board.

I was sending data at the time of testing. That's what was so odd. I just tried again no, still getting 3.5v during test on my voltmeter

Note I have disconnected "v1" for now.

Hi there, I have just started settings out my brand new Falcon F16v5. I have tested outputs 1 to 8 without issues, and the voltage is reading a correct 12v I just connected a set of LEDs to output 9, and a load of green LEDs lot on on the board, indicating an error. The voltage for outputs...

Update- the developer is adding a fix to the next revision.

Starting to get above my pay grade, it flips after boot and I’m happy enough with that. My master and slave FPP pi’s are now reporting together, which is all I wanted. If someone wants to modify it for a permanent fix that would be great.
