Baldricks don't run FPP so they can't (in their native firmware) operate in that mode -they dont have storage, cant store sequences etc (even with a mass stor usb option they'd need to actually be able to understand/parse fseq. They are pixel data receivers and pushers. Unless I'm...

Yes and its nice that this is now the default in FPP 10. See, my hope is that they _dont_ do this - this goes back to broadcasting pixel data over wifi, which is much more reliant on the dark arts of radio engineering. The bridge mode allows your wifi controller to just sync timing - playback...

I've finally started a new thread over here if anyone wants more details, ask away in there, I have a full bench setup with various incantations of wifi dongles and devices https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/wifi-fpp-remotes-and-falcon-player-10.17543/

Following up this thread - https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/brisbane-se-qld-mini-2026-25-july.17433/page-5 So I gave a talk at the Sydney and Brisbane Minis about how to effectively use wifi to enable density and, in the fun cases, run a show across multiple locations. The ;tl;dr is use...

Hello, I gave the talk on wifi/FPP master-remote - fire away with any questions or spin up a new thread and ping me, happy to expand on that (sorry I couldnt hear the questions in the room)

for the Aliex folks, this is the same box https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007203650842.html recognised immediately as I use these a bunch and they are great.

Should have done a more isolated/example of the effects but this is one vid from this year View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L5SUTeo-4A

My mega arch this year, by far - 24 strings x 120 seeds, looked amazing and could do so many different effects on it (splitting it odds/evens, front/back etc) - all my existing sequences I just re-rendered any arch effects onto it and it worked great. Made from 2 x 6000x1100 sheep panels...

I run 2 mega trees, 30 x 150 @ 1in in 6 strings of 5. I just tap power at the bottom (so i split from the input, balance between 2&3 and 4&5) for each strand, 12v bullets, can push about 50% brightness full white on a 7.5A fuse, in practice I run at 30% across 2 400w and its fine. Unlike the...

Ok so here is my DXF for the topper, lasercorp or ferracut or any laser place can do it, 6mm mild steel, works good (https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/welding-mega-tree-topper.16942/#post-143584) Here is my tree, 4mtr + star, in concrete base, I have 2 of these and love them

@tterbo_1988 Definitely do 4 metres, 150pix per strand at 1in/25mm, 2 metre base diameter - I run 2 of these exactly, 30 x 150 pixels they look unreal and you can run video on them, I'll get some pics for you in a bit. FWIW I poured a couple of 500x500x500 concrete cubes I use as my portable holes

Cross posting, but its my thread so :D So, here is a DXF/F3D file of a mega tree topper I drew up, that is similar common to designs - its setup for a 40NB pipe and you should be able to get it cut from 6mm steel for about $100 at any of the online laser cut shops - 490mm diameter - 64 holes...

To answer your question about Baldricks running a MT, I ran 28 strands @ 150 this year on 7 ports (so 600 pix per channel, 12v strands) and then used the 8th to run the smalll 200pix star. Ran off 2 x 350w power supplies and just power balanced the MT strings (so tee'd off at the first string...

Hello I added some stuff to my F3D drop box - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/bbq9cg5068rmn224huuwu/ADm9cbAJBLrKtubPlLz6eno?rlkey=q1f42kax37oy0pia7a8qc0ulb&st=57w7pgbu&dl=0 - 99 Node Candy Canes (just null pixel the end node for your 100strings and set it up as a 3x33 matrix, works great...
