Thanks Jerry!  Have you used these?  I did find them on Amazon but wasn't sure how well they would work.  Reviews were a little light but seem to be o.k.

I am using two of these runny off two each picap unit for static A/C Pros..they work Great.

I have used them, what is nice is you can put them someplace that the control is not at and run a DMX cable to it. Your DMX cable could be an ethernet cable. I use them to turn on my Pixel power supplies so the controllers can stay on to get update before show.

Falcon Player (FPP) / Re: FPP Install on Raspberry P...

Last post by k6ccc - March 19, 2023, 07:08:01 PM

So I dusted off an old Apple iPad, found the FPP network, entered Christmas AND it joined the FPP network, SUCCESS !!!
( Can't explain why an ipad worked but an iphone couldn't join.)

Funny part of that is I was tempted to suggest another device (preferably not a phone)...

Tried again entering password, Christmas, but still says wrong password.

While I can't tell you what the problem is ultimately (never owned a Pi Zero W) but I have Tethered to dozens of FPP installs and Christmas has always worked as the password from Laptop and Smartphone.

Then going to 192.168.8.1, I was able to get to the FPP setup screen.

I am now following thru on the setup instructions, and hopefully can get the Pi Zero W to log onto my home network using my SSID and PW.

PS: I used xlights\FPP to run my small show last year, but it was on a Raspberry Pi 4.  I got a Raspberry Pi Zero W fairly cheap and was hoping to migrate it over.

My mini HDMI cable arrived today.  Plugging it in, then into a TV, I get the 4 large colored blocks on the screen, then it disappears to a black screen.

I don't have another Pi 3 or 4 to load the SD card into.

Make sure you don't have trailing or leading spaces in either user or password

I can see a network FPP on my iphone.  When I try to join it asks for a password.  I tried Christmas (Capital C) and it states "incorrect password for FPP. Also tried christmas, raspberry, falcon

BUT, I never see FPP on my router.

You ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT see it on your router until you are able to connect to it so you can set the SSID and password of your home WiFi.  As you noted, the OctoPrint has the ability to set that information prior to flashing.

Unless you do something like the hack that the other Jim suggested, the only way to connect is via the WiFi tethering.  After the Pi boots, if you do a WiFi scan on a phone or laptop, do you see the Pi WiFi access point?  It will have an SSID of FPP.  Did you then connect to that WiFi - password is: Christmas ?  Only then can connect to it via the WiFi tethering - should have an IP of 192.168.8.1

Days Until Christmas
