On Wifey's Birthday I got away with it last year. Not sure I can try my luck again this year.

@Johnnyboy you were potentially looking at these?

Keen for this. I always feel like I want two outputs that I can control via FPP commands one for the FM transmitter and one for the speakers. In the end this year I just killed the FM. I am not sure it gets much use at our place with how the show is run.

In our case it was 100% me. I didnt submit on youtube and our source video isnt as good

We have buttons for our display. We run a "background" sequence. Just some red white and gold colours and repeating patterns. Out the front we have 5 bit buttons. Each button has a "theme" and uploaded songs are prefixed with matching theme with a specific prefix. All our sequences are...

Video looks fantastic. I need to get much better at settings for doing video of the display. Either way the kids will be SUPER excited to watch our house on youtube for both ACLATW and XATW tomorrow morning. Its one of their favorite parts of Christmas now it seems.

I really need to get onto recording this.

FPP 8.0 deprecated the FPP -P and FPP -S so its time to move things across to the API. This is my current revision of the code specifically my "Kids Button" used from last year. This takes all the sequences in the sequence folder that start with kids_ ie kids_blueythemesong.fseq and randomly...

We do similar to this with some big buttons connected to gpio pins on the FPP pi. There is a big buttons plugin for FPP that would allow you to do something with web based buttons. We have found people have loved the interactivity not sure about the driving donations side of things tho as we are...

SHEESH thats significantly cheaper than a quinled which is what I always seem to end up recommending for anyone who just wants to have a play and get a feel for it.

Agreed with Skymaster there. Its the better way to look at things for the most part.

The 0.6watt per light figure used in the calcs has probably factored in enough overhead there anyway.

Forgiveness is easier than permission... next time.
