Falcon Player (FPP) / Re: Raspberry PI 4 b fan

Last post by JonB256 - June 07, 2023, 09:30:09 AM

Fans are generally controlled by a PWM (pulse width modulation) signal. Except for the upgrade to 12vdc instead of 3.3v or 5v, shouldn't an I2C output controlled by a Plug-In work?

I must mention that I don't know squat about writing a plug-in to do that.

I have not seen an option in FPP to control the fan speed/temp.  Nothing is mentioned in the manual either.  Sometimes cases will come with cheap loud fans, but you can typically replace it with a better one if annoying.

It's been many years since I dealt with dumb pixels. If one pixel in the line dies, the others continue without problem, don't they?

Correct.

It's been many years since I dealt with dumb pixels. If one pixel in the line dies, the others continue without problem, don't they? No chip to stop the signal. Could be an advantage for purely decorative lighting.

All of my RasPi computers have a dumb fan on them.

They are RGB pixels, the dumb type. No controller chip in the node. 4 wire connection. As shown in the photo.

Falcon Player (FPP) / Raspberry PI 4 b fan

Last year my pi was running hot! Christmas in new Zealand is our summer.

So just looking at the official pi4 case fan accessorie.

Does FPP know how to control this fan..or am I better with a dumb fan?

This is what I'm looking at

General Hardware / Re: RS485 CAN HAT for DMX

Last post by MikeKrebs - June 05, 2023, 09:18:04 PM

I realize this is an older thread...Just wondering if you got this running. From internet descriptions, those devices don't do DMX so you would need a different protocol to control them.

Bumping but also clarifying. These are not pixels but dumb bullet style strings?

Falcon Player (FPP) / Re: colorlight 5a-75b not work...

Aha!  I knew it.  My modules are 16x16 1/16 scan.  The 32x16 setting is possibly what is causing the overlap.  I've posted pictures of my settings.  See if they work for you.  Changing the DCLK setting and refresh rate will change the allowable cabinet sizes.  17.9MHz and 1920 refresh were the lower limit for my matrix, but it got me to cabinet size I needed.
