Difficulties setting up P5 Panel

[kmw25]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up a single P5 panel. I have the Hanson rPi-MFC on a Raspberry Pi 3b+ going to THIS P5 panel.

I believe I've configure everything on FPP correctly, but when I run the test pattern, everything is scrambled. Pics below of my config and of what I'm seeing on the panel. Any pointers would be great.

Try these settings that I puzzled out for my P5's. It's been on my to do list to document this on the product page to save people having to puzzle it out.

FYI 1/16th Scan is not going to work on his 1/8th Scan panels @AAH

I would say to check your start channel

I would suggest either Panel Interleave or Panel Row Address Type need playing with.
It's appears that it's doing bits of each as it goes down.

Hi guys,

So, checked start channel and that was correct. Tried all combinations of Panel Interleave and Row Address Type, to no avail.

@AAH, I tried to copy your config as best I could, but my panel is 1/8 scan. Even when I tried to set it to 1/16, I didn't get the same interleave options you had. This is everything I had available:



So still a bit stumped, really.

While changing these options did change the output, the test pattern was still jumbled, just jumbled differently.
