[QUOTE="Grant Astley, post: 104935, member: 26478"] Hi All I have searched the net for a few days now looking for a way to use one of the GPIO outputs of the FPP running on a Raspberry Pi 3 board to control a relay which will be used to turn on and off the 240Vac lights. I need no clarification, etc on the physical connection of the relay or what is required to control 240Vac, qualified sparky :) I am just after help on how to set up the control of this pin on the Pi - One article showed a script called GPIO output on.sh however this is not available anymore? It required installing the script and then setting up an event to call the script and using the scheduler to control the event, I like this idea as the 240V lights can be turned off during some sequences and on during other. - Another one said it was as simple as setting up a channel output as Other and scheduling it as you do other lights? As I use a F16V3 to control all of my digital pixels which is connected to the Pi via ethernet E131, I would assume that the Pi needs to be set up as a controller in the scheduling software for this to occur? Any odea how to do this? I am currently using Vixen for this. If anyone has any info / ideas on this it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Grant Astley [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
