Sometimes its not possible to run an ethernet cable from your home router to your show in the front yard…
In this video we run through setting up a Proxy in FPP v9.
The Pi connects to your home wifi network, and the controllers are then wired to the pi. We then setup a new Baldrick controller in xLights 2025.6, push the config to the Baldrick and FPP and then test in FPP.
FPP v9 Master / Remote
In this video we’re taking a look at the Master / Remote functionality in FPP v9 and demonstrating why its needed and then how to implement it.
Note: There is an issue with copying files between Master & Remote in this release of FPPv9 but it is on the Alpha (testing) release. I have raised a bug with the team #2276
Setting up buttons for audience interaction with our show
In this weeks video we demonstrate how to add a button to a Raspberry Pi running FPP v9 to allow our audience to interact with our show and start a sequence – or more.
We also run through how a seond Pi or BBB could be used as part of a podium, so users could chose one or multiple different sequences on a portable device that can put away after show time.
Buttons with Baldrick
Following last weeks video on Buttons with FPP, I only thought it fair to give an alternative option on how to run come buttons for customer interactivity with your show! Baldrick has 3 button inputs, so in this video we demonstrate how to set them up for use with FPP.
Setting up an LED Matrix with FPP v9 & Colorlight card
In this video we setup a P10 Hub75 style LED Panel controlled by a Colorlight Card with FPPv9 and xLights. We run through the FPP setup, then the xLights setup and finish with a short demo sequence.
Multiple panels from one Pi with FPPv9!
In this video we look at the new multiple panel functionality in FPPv9.
Not happy with a single P10 matrix, we add a new P4 panel to the mix, get it setup in FPP and xLights and run a sequence across the two panels.
2025_47 FPP v9 Launch
In this unscripted video, we run through the release notes & have a quick look through the newly released FPP Version 9. A few notes and lots more to come in the following weeks & months, I’m sure !
2025_46 Setting up a Kulp Pocketscroller with FPP v9
This week we take a look at an alternative to a Colorlight for driving a P5 Matrix – the Kulp Pocket Scroller. We set it up in the new FPP v9 software, find a couple of bugs & learn some of the new FPP features along the way.
FPP Reset !
Sometimes, whilst trying new settings or getting a new feature working as you want, you end up making a hash of it and need to do a complete reset. Where you may have previously opted for a re-flash of your SD card with a new instance, these days you can do it far more easily.
