Hi everyone,
I’m new to Falcon Pi Player, and still planning my light show for this year. Therefore is this a more theoretical question related to the wiring of my show and how it integrates with FPP. Last year, we started the project with 10 outlets that are wired to two 8-channel relays (not SSDs at the moment). They interfere directly via the GPIO pins in the Raspberry Pi (turns on if the gpio is 1, and off if the gpio is 0). When we started, we used an automatic software called LightShowPi, and used a “hack” (or maybe you should call it remapping) of the pins to be able to control the relays without a port expander, since it didn’t work properly for me.
I used a configuration described in this post:

.
LightshowPi used WiringPi, and I haven’t really dived deep into all the settings of FPP (yet). But in case someone has experience or know if this can work, a confirmation would be highly appreciate. The same goes for if the config does not work. I have an MCP23017 lying around in case I need it.
Thanks
