Cannot Ping e1.31 Channel Data Target

[mwolbert]

I have a Pi3B+ (.200) running FPP as master for my show. It is sending data to a F48v3 (.201), Pi3B+ w/falcon pi hat (.204), another Pi3B+ w/falcon pi hat (.205), and a Pi3B+ running a colorlight/P5 matrix (.214). I can access each and every Pi FPP UI via their IP. They are all connected to the network and functioning. Everything is hard wired. I am having an issue with the Master being able to send the data to each. The one falcon pi hat is the most constant issue (.205). All Pi's are running FPP 6.2 with the newest OS 2022-11. I have included some screen shots. I have rebooted and power cycled Pi's and the router, all will run, but after a couple minutes (.205) drops out, but can still be accessed via the UI using its IP. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank youYou cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.

Is your router/network separate from your home network?

Everything is running on my home network. This is due to the falcon pihats being inside of the house and utilizing the indoor cat6 wiring. I have run the show this way for at least the past 2 years, and had not previously had this issue. I have thought of a separate network, but have not come up with a good solution for being able to hard wire a separate network.

Are these all using ethernet cable, or are some of them using wifi?

I see they are all hard wired now.  Can not ping implies network issue.  Could be bad cable, electrical interference, bad network card, bandwidth issue with house network.  Can you install another switch and separate them temporally?  How long are the cable runs?

If they are running in remote mode, why is DDP and/or e1.31 data being sent to them?

Jon the longest run is 60' or so to the switch. I'm looking to see if I can set up a separate network.

Daniel,

Currently only the master has the sequences on it. In the past I had all of the Pi'S with the sequences locally saved to them and used just sync packets. That being said with the great advances in FPP in the past couple years, I don't have it set up correctly to do that. I've skimmed through manuals, and am sure I have missed it as plain as day, but that was the thought I had to try next. Is it as easy as loading up the sequences to each Pi and they know how to do the rest? I'm sure I have to check something extra. I've only had the UI set to basic.
