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.

Ok, we have a fix. And what a painful journey that was! Step-by-Step: Run the OLED Orientation Fix After SSH Login Step 1: Create the orientation fix script mkdir -p ~/oled-fix cat > ~/oled-fix/fix-oled.sh << 'EOF' #!/bin/bash sleep 1 i2cset -y 1 0x3C 0x00 0xA0 EOF chmod +x...

I found the command that flips it Horizontally. I ran it in the SSH shell, and it works! fpp@FPPMaster:~/fpp/src $ i2cset -y 1 0x3C 0x00 0xA0 No idea how to make it work on boot up though.. This is the cheat sheet - Goal Command Flood screen (all pixels) i2cset -y 1 0x3C 0x00 0xA5...

Yep , already tried that. It flips the image upside down and it’s still reversed even from doing that. From what I can figure out there is a command via ssh that will flip it, but there needs to be a way to put a “mirrored” option into the FPP software. Not all OLED’s are created the same. Is...

For context -

Hey everyone, I'm running FPP on a Raspberry Pi 5 housed in an Argon EON case, and I'm using the built-in OLED display for system info. The OLED is technically working, but two issues: The image is mirrored (flipped horizontally, as if viewed in a mirror). The brightness is extremely dim...
