Gday guys
I'm so close to getting my P4 panels working!
Here's my setup:
Each panel is 64 pixels wide, 32 high. Four panels wide, six panels high.
Just one Colorlight 5A-75B, set up with LEDVision.
LEDVision displays the test pie chart image correctly, and my mouse cursor moves on the panels.
Successfully FPP installed on a new raspberry pi 5, networking all good, connecting to FPP via the web interface.
Here's where I'm stuck:
(Screenshot attached)
In FPP, under "Channel Outputs", whenever I click "test", the panel either flickers or stays blank.
One observation that might help to diagnose:
When I click the physical button on the Colorlight 5A-75B, it cycles through full red, green, blue, white, etc. When I try to use FPP to "test", either under "Status Control" -> "Display Testing", or under "Output Channel" testing, the panel keeps the same pattern, but just flickers several times a second until I stop the test.
I also uploaded a butterfly sequence from xLights, and when I try to run that in FPP, it just flickers the whole panel with the same test pattern as above (not the butterfly), but one time, when I hit stop, the panels perfectly displayed just one frame of the butterfly pattern, but frozen.
Any ideas on why FPP can't seem to display an image or test correctly?
Thanks gents
