[QUOTE="Jinxx, post: 105806, member: 30726"] Hi There! So the way I have it set up, the raspberry pi zero w is running Falcon Player. The raspberry pi is connected to an Arduino Mega via Generic Serial, and I have three relay boards connected to the Mega. The Arduino has a modified version of the VictorPV sketch which you already stumbled upon at the other forum. Xlights sequences (.fseq files) are uploaded to the Raspberry Pi via the Falcon Player web browser interface (fpp.local/), along with their corresponding media files. In order to set the Arduino Mega as the output, go to the "Input Output" tab in Falcon Player, and click on "Other". Here is where you provide the data that will allow Falcon Player (your raspberry pi) to send serial data to the Arduino Mega in order to turn each relay on/off. Make sure the baud rate in your sketch is the same as baud rate you set in Falcon. I have attached a picture of this screen and my settings just in case. Once that is done, you create a playlist, hit play, and you should see your lights start blinking to the sequence you uploaded. I put the Pi, the Arduino and all the relays into a big box, stuck it outside, set the schedule, and now it just does its thing without the need for my intervention. Its fantastic! Feel free to PM me if you have questions about anything, I'll try to help however I can. Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]

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