Falcon Player (FPP) / Re: FPP VS eero home network S...
Last post by JonD - July 08, 2025, 08:26:09 PMWelcome to the forum. The 192.168.7.x network range will conflict with some tethering options. Not really an FPP thing, and more of a network problem in general. It would be best to not use IP ranges in conflict, but understand you not wanting to change all of your IPs. You could have other issues down the line, as tethering is a common and handy feature with many devices.
The follwing IP ranges are best to avoid.
192.168.0.x (common)
192.168.1.x (common)
192.168.6.x (tether)
192.168.7.x (tether)
192.168.8.x (tether)
192.168.100.x (cable modems)
192.168.254.x (common ISP modems)
If your home network is using the 192.168.7.x network range you may need to turn tethering off. Otherwise that network would be local to FPP device, and data will not route correctly to your home network. It should not hurt anything to turn tethering off, other than it may be a little harder to setup the FPP after a fresh installation.

Note: If your home router has an IP address with a subnet of 192.168.6.xxx,
192.168.7.xxx or 192.168.8.xxx then your FPP will likely have problems communicating
in these environments. Those subnets are the default subnets used by Windows, Mac
and Linux for USB tethering and could cause conflicts. You should change your home
network to a different subnet to avoid problems.

Last post by R6Taz - July 08, 2025, 04:13:20 PMHi Folks,
I just switched my home network to eero routers and am having a hell of a time trying to set a static IP on my FPP that I use on a RaspPi to run my Hinks controlers as a PROXIE server.. I understand there are challenges with FFP and I.P. addresses but it is way above my knowledge level.. I heard disabling USB tethering my stop the conflict etc .. I cannot change my home netowrk settings as i have way too many devices connected and run an office from home.. can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks Oh my eero network is 192.168.7.

Last post by ericjforman - July 02, 2025, 03:10:16 PMI should mention I don't have access to the router or switch, so I am connecting directly. For simplicity, we can use the ethernet config: connecting directly to the computer, no router. (I have both wifi and ethernet setup on the same FPP/RPi).
FPP/RPi eth0:
192.168.0.100
Gateway: none (not allowed to have more than gateway)
Computer with ELM (Enttec LED Mapper):
192.168.0.50
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Enttec ArtNet output, unable to change:
192.168.0.50
broadcast to 192.168.0.255
What's the next step?

Last post by ericjforman - July 02, 2025, 12:52:26 PMHi all, new to FPP so hello! (although very experienced with LED mapping and controllers). I'm using a bare RPi Zero 2 with FPP (i.e. direct to GPIO), connected by WiFi. I'm trying to get input LED data from ELM (and eventually record via ethernet, but that's another topic).
First off, I assume that in Cape Config, I should use the PiHat setting as a kind of generic RPi choice, although the manual doesn't explicitly say that.
I set Input to ArtNet, and Output to my string specs. FPP Testing mode of the pixel string works.
I am unable to get input from ELM however.
To send ArtNet or sACN from ELM, the WiFi adapter settings are
10.105.44.69
"broadcast to 10.105.47.255"
My RPi has a static IP of 10.105.32.100.
There is no way to set the adapter IP in ELM manually, AFAIK.
What's the proper way to do this?
Thank you!

3rd Party Integration / Re: xCapture Playback Issues
Last post by ericjforman - July 02, 2025, 11:38:48 AMDid anyone ever get this working? I need to record data from any other LED mapper besides XLights, e.g. ELM, MadMapper, Madrix, etc.

Falcon Player Plugins / Re: FM Transmitter – Si4713
Last post by jnealand - June 25, 2025, 08:46:47 AMI used some doorbell wire that was in my junk stash. It was two wires, but I just connected one. Don't overthink stuff. In 20 years in this hobby the best and quickest way is often to "just try it".

Last post by Poporacer - June 25, 2025, 08:23:51 AMQuote from: CWalters on June 24, 2025, 06:12:26 PM4. I read on some posts that having it with the controller (and the power supplies powering the controller) it introduces too much interference. Is this still a good way to push sound?This usually only applies to the "high" powered FM transmitters that are cheaply built. The Si4713 does not fall into that category.

Last post by k6ccc - June 24, 2025, 09:15:18 PM1) From an RF standpoint, it does not matter. Insulated would be better to avoid any oopses.
2) Should not really matter. Smaller (within reason) makes it easier to handle.
3) As reasonably straight as possible.
4) It's possible. In my case the transmitter is about 5 feet from the nearest controller (an F4v3), and over 100 feet from the computer running the show.
