BeagleBone Black Controllers / Re: New K16s

3). Can I set one port to DMX and the other to Renard on the new K16?  That didn't work on the K32.

Yes.  That worked on the K32 as well.

4). Why 4 power banks for just 16 channels?  Does this mean I can mix 5v and 12v?  Or is it just to mitigate the outage if one efuse trips?

The new eFuses are rated for 6A (instead of 5).  Putting 48A (8*6A)through a single screw terminal is WAY WAY over spec and would have melted it down.  Breaking them into smaller banks was needed.  Yes, you can mix 5V and 12V and 24V. Each of the four banks can be a different voltage.

Re: mixing DMX and Renard, maybe the FPP update changed something, but last year when I changed ttys2 to Renard, it changed ttys1 to Renard, and when I tried to set ttys1 back to DMX, it changed ttys2 back to DMX. 

RE: 4 banks.  Makes sense.

Did you industrial the virtual eeprom?

I believe that the word you were looking for was install.  Don't ya just love autocorrect.

Yep! And you don't catch it.

General Hardware / Re: Can I control 12 volt WS28...

That depends.  If everything is moving to 12V then you just need to switch the PI Hat to 12V mode (move the jumper) and hook it up to a 12V power supply and you should be good to go.  If you are still using 5V as well, then just connect the power wire from the 12V nodes to your 12V supply and connect the grounds from the 2 supplies together.  The data wire and ground can remain connected to the hat as they are now.

Falcon Player (FPP) / Re: P5 Matrix on FPP 8.0 help

Last post by cmora111 - September 10, 2024, 02:27:47 PM

I've tried 3 different recommended ColorLight versions with the same results. I've changed the IP address to be DHCP, that didn't help.

A couple of questions:

1. Can you run the P5 Matrix on the same FPP that is running the show, using the built in ethernet port to play and the USB GigE for the ColorLight?
    If so, how do you configure it?

2. When discovering without an IP it defaults to using the FPP player only (built in) address and asigns it DDP protocol.
    How should the panel be hooked up to xLights.

Yes they did and it was a really fast response! I only posted it here because it was a falcon product. And I'm new to the forum stuff. Didn't know anyone would get hurt. I'll stick to Auschristmaslighting from now on.

Do you have the inputs enabled on your FPP?
Did you install the virtual eeprom?

Hi- Can you share your final configuration in xLights? I have the same issue, I can move the servo manually using the 'Display Testing' but not through xLights. I know xLights can talk to FPP because I see the Status change and I get an error on FPP saying "RPIWS281x: No output pin configuration for: PiHat, Could not initialize output type RPIWS281X. Check logs for details."
