Hi, I am new to FPP and about to start working on a project involving around 100 5meter ws2811 strips 30,000 leds (10k individually addressable). I want to test some custom effects/sequences that are generated programatically. I am exploring options for sending DDP to the controller...

I'm using a K16A-B and because of the power and where I wanted my controller I have it in the middle of my setup, with one string of lights on my eves going left, and one going right. Each has 100 pixels. I'm having a really hard time getting these to act as 1 string. Even when grouped...

Wondering what's the best way to set up a GPIO as an input (with pull-up) and read the state into a variable in a script The use case is I want to trigger a special playlist when 2 buttons are pressed simultaneously. Thanks in advance!

Some of you may have read or heard already about some changes to FPP v6 in relation to possibly having to pay for a license in order to use pixel outputs on capes/hats. This has generated a bit of discussion in the chat room today but for those who wish to read the official announcement, the...

Merry Christmas . Started into this mid year a year ago. I’m almost computer illiterate but I must say I’ve come a long way. I’m using a rpi4B+ a sainsmart 16 channel relay, With FPP and dumb LED lights. I’ve got music sequences from vixen that plays the music but does not control the...

Hi, Here is my first show with XLights. It's a very simple animation because I was fighting many gremlins trying to put it all together on a tight budget, and only started in mid-November. View: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DTQTv9KzaHXb4milVyqn6NZo96EBJ46J There's a sequence of 8...

First of all, best regards from Germany I use FPP to control a matrix controller. This has Univers 0 first. Sequences created with xLights work perfectly. If I want to use this as a scheduler / playlist, the first line in the matrix is missing. Does somebody has any idea? Thank you and happy...

I am testing an ESPixelStick with xLights and FPP. There are holds and jumps during the display (just one string of 50 leds). Can you help me set up the networking definitions for the devices to get a clean show? I'm using my home Xfinity/Comcast internet network router. I made a separate...

First time ever using an animation/sequencing software for leds for holiday light shows. I got Xlights working with FPP on a Pi Zero, and an ESPixelStick! Many more to come I hope View: https://drive.google.com/open?id=14J8I-X96oTWLYc-JZFG9AMEeI0TmOFec View...

Hi Guys, new poster here! Writing from Christchurch New Zealand. Looking to expand our display this year by adding in a pixel matrix to our scenery. Excuse the nebie post and apologies if anything has been asked before or seems a little left fold. If anything has been asked before, if you could...

Hi Guys, I have just started playing around with pixels and have a beagebone black cape (Hanson HE123). I have flashed the beaglebone emmc with FPP and everything works fine when connected with USB (192.168.7.1). But, when I connect it directly to the computer or via a router, the beaglebone...

Hey team, I have a playlist scheduling question... I want to have my show run a repeating xlights sequence (without music) and then every hour, on the hour play a musical sequence. When it's done go back to the repeating lights only sequence. I can't seem to see how I can do this in FPP (which I...

Hi All, Hope everyone's displays are up and running nicely - mine however, is not. I started out in the pixel game this year, and decided to start small. I'm running a Pi3B+ with FPP loaded (just updated to 2.5 this evening). I'm also running a PiCap -...

Greetings, everyone! So I've got something of a unique issue in front of me, suddenly. I haven't seen this problem in the past, but I've so far been unable to roll back to a version of FPP that doesn't do this to me. I warn you now of the wall of text that is coming up, so skip to the bottom...
