Falcon Player (FPP) / Re: How to setup and configure...
Last post by MikeKrebs - November 06, 2025, 10:29:38 PMYou don't need a pi-hat. FPP can be the player for your other controllers.
Put your xLights pc, FPP and your controllers plugged into a switch. No wi-fi needed.
Burn the RPi image that you downloaded from https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/releases/tag/9.3 on a sdcard. Insert card into RPi, turn it on and in about 10 minutes, visit FPP.local in a browser,
In xLights, go to the controller tab. Click Discovery. Did it find your "stuff". If not, set the device manually filling in the vendor, model and IP address.
Now you can

Well, that can cause that! That setting is used when you have older controllers that will revert to a test pattern if they don't receive data in a certain time frame. Hover over the question mark for mor einfo

Last post by JonD - November 06, 2025, 12:19:41 PMUsed F16v3s exist, but are a little hard to find this time of year. I would like to find some more F4V3s and search for them on occasion. You might check the LOR forums and Etsy if you haven't looked. Ebay of course.
The expansion board on the F16v4 is different, but you can get one for the F16v4. I don't think there is an expansion board for the F16v5, but you can use an SR expansion for those.

Falcon Player (FPP) / How to setup and configure con...
Last post by cais2108 - November 06, 2025, 11:16:30 AMI have a few controllers that I would like to properly set up and configure before the christmas season that way I am able to host a functional and expansive show. I have the Falcon F16V5, the Falcon F16V4 with 16 expansion ports(32 total), and the SR x4 V4 from falcon as well. I also tried to flash my Raspberry Pi4 with FPP earlier this year but was unable to figure out how to correctly do that and if I need the pi-hat. I'm using xLights and can connect these controllers to a wifi network if needed however I would prefer that I don't run them on wifi if possible. Could anyone give me some basic setup tips? For the previous shows that I have run, I only used one controller and kept it in Player mode while swapping the SD card when I need to change/add files. Thanks

Last post by RTED - November 06, 2025, 08:49:56 AMThanks again for the reply.
I don't mind getting the F16V4 controller. My only issue is I also have an expansion board with 16 outputs. I noted the F16V4 expansion port connector is different from the F16V3 expansion port connector.
Is it possible to get a used F16v3?

BeagleBone Black Controllers / Re: Multiple BBB with K32A-B -...
Last post by MikeKrebs - November 05, 2025, 08:16:49 PMGet all three controllers installed on the network.
Go to xLights.
Click the Discovery button.
Did it find the controllers? If not, manually configure them.
Create a model.
Go back to controllers and click the controller you want the model on.
Click Visualize and drag the prop from the right to the left on the port(s) you want to use.
That is a start. There is, of course, so much more.

After thinking about this. Post your location, your best source to getting started would be someone who lives reasonably close that could visit you or that you could visit. A mentor will be the quickest way to get started.

Last post by jnealand - November 05, 2025, 06:57:35 PMtwo things come to mind here
1. go to content manager menu and look for things (you recognize) that are not needed. Be careful about deleting things you know nothing about.
2. get a bigger uSD card.
