Hi All,

I'm from Laura SA & hoping to get my display going this year. Sadly I currently feel like I've got "all the gear, but no idea" as I just can't get anything to work & I'd be glad if anyone could tell me what the heck I'm doing wrong.

I have FPP installed onto a Raspberry Pi 3B+ (with a Hanson Electronics LED RTC hat) and an F16v4 controller.

I am currently accessing both of these from my home network : wireless connection to RPi/FPP but the Falcon controller is wired directly to my router. I have no trouble connecting to the interfaces for either, but I cannot for the life of me get any joy out of getting my sequence onto FPP without a whole heap of errors. FPP doesn't seem to 'see' my controller either. I was planning to use DDP as the protocol, which I believe means I don't have to go about mapping channels/universes?

My plan was to eventually have the whole lot running completely independently (i.e. not connected to any network, just the Rpi/FPP connected directly to the Falcon controller by ethernet cable and running the show all by itself).

Anyway, right now I'm feeling totally confused & frustrated, so any help would be massively appreciated.

Cheers! :)
