Procedure does not seem te work here. I see both PC and Mini connected to the Hotspot. Starting the tool, however the Mini is not found. I downloaded the laterst firmware in the mini 3.7. Do you happen to know if sonnof blocks this function in the latest firmware?

Hey brother, I know that this is an old video. I was wondering if you can give me some insight as to why, when I click on FPP Connect, the box opens up and i see all my shows at the bottom, but at the top, I am not able to see my Falcon controller and can manually enter it with IP adrdess

Hi, I’m getting a msg on FPP saying ( UDP output set to send data to myself. Disabling ip for controller) how can I fix this pls.

Very nice. I was hoping that there might have been some info on integrating the dipole to the usb powered transmitters that just have a 75cm wire. To lower the dexterity level and get rid of the need for different pvc lengths you could put the pointy end of an 6" cable tie through the crimped on eye. Instead of bobbing for the eye just use the extra length of the previously installed 6" tie and just used the female end of another tie to cinch things down. Instead of having to vary the pvc length between about 28.5" and 26.5" a standard 29" could be used. The 6" cable tie allows for the 2" difference in dipole length to be allowed for.

Great tutorial. Thanks! Unfortunately, none of my projectors support CEC (I am assuming, since nothing but test appears when I scan for device). Anyone have a good tutorial on doing this using an IR blaster connected to the Pi?

Thank you for the video, this is great info. I have a question, I set my virtual matrix to the same settings you did from another video but it came up very small on my projector. Like less than half of the projectors full size, what do i need to change? Thanks!

Thank you.

I know this is an older video....however....my bars effect from floor to floor are not lined up and I cannot figure why

hola. tengo un pequeño problema: la herramienta no me detecta el sonoff. le estoy poniendo el wifi, lo he probado con la aplicacion, pero no hay manera de que la herramienta me detecte el device.

I have 2 raspberry pi's. Different names. Different I.P addresses. But still think they are one computer.

How do you have the controllers connected with wiring? Do you use a multiple network box ?

Nice video. Yours seems to be the Mini R2. Do you know if this OTA method can be done on Mini as well?

Thanks!! Will try it!

It works but only fills up the left corner. Do I need to make the resolution bigger?

I just got a Falcon 16v5 to add to my show. I have a Kulp 8 with beagle bone. Are you saying because they are two different controler types i will have to get a raspberry pi? I was hoping just run the network cord to the falcon from the kulp.

What address do you use for the Sonoff Basic R2? I tried both 10.10.7.1 and 10.10.7.2 and neither one works. And you didn't explain why the hotspot needs to be that specific name and password. Shouldn't that not matter? For iPhone it's always iPhone.

Have another question what is running on the Pi that is sending the video to the screen, etc.. I have a Pi setup to run FPP and it has a top-hat that is a driver, I plan on using a 2nd Pi for the video because it will be little ways from this one. will 2 the 2nd Pi be running a native Pi OS or will it also have FPP on it and where will the video be loaded on the on the Pi that is being host FPP or on the one doing the video. Thanks again

thanks for the video and the help, do you have a sample of a sequence that i could use to learn with. Or know where i could find one

Thanks for this video, it's the closest I have found to what I am trying to do. TVs used to have a "last state power on" feature. We have a security Monitor in a lobby that we want to power on when we flip the switch on for the lights so no one has to find the remote (yes, completely dummy proofing). I'm looking for a device (even if i have to do it myself) that will power on the tv with CEC commands since tvs don't have this feature anymore. Basically, if X in-line HDMI device receives power, send power on command, and vice versa. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Hey mate - very informative video. I'm running two WLED controllers and one Falcon. You quickly spoke about setting up a WLED controler and pushing the sequence out. Could you elborate on setting up WLED with FPP. Any tips are apprciated. I have my sequence ready to go. cheers

Someone got the Pink version

Love your leaping arches!!! I have now embraced making holes in the PVC to secure them more and it makes for a straight line. You are the first I have seen doing leaping arches like this and will do the same!!! Looking at this it also makes it easier to find issues like you found.

Short, sweet and to the point!

Would you recommend deleting previous years sequences from the FPP player since more models have been added each year?

Is there any way to use a bluetooth speaker with fpp?

Anything but easy! A recent newbi here so want something super simple to learn how, not a video done using a complex setup!

You don't use a 4 to 1 balun with a dipole unless it is a folded dipole. A dipole has an impedance of about 70 ohms. The balun is for antenna that has an impedance of around 300 ohms. By the it is Bal - Un, not Bay - un. It means balanced to unbalanced.

I have followed the steps as described, but see nothing when I try a test or play a sequence. I've doubled checked all the settings, looked in the logs, upgraded to latest FPP version (8.x-master-287-g03fbc510) but not sure how else to troubleshoot. Any tips?

Thank you for this content! I have a probably stupid question. Would the address change if you swap the monitor or projector plugged in to the Pi?

This was so helpful! I’m at the spot where I need to figure out my IP address and WiFi. I plan on using this for a wearable. Will there be issues if I don’t assign the wireless to it?

Thank you.

I've built and installed mine @John Creed - thank you. I'll work on adjusting...

Where did you get the minions props, they are awesome

Shoutout to the Twin Cities. I just started my LightShow journey December '23. It's been fun. But the FM signal had struggled. My concern of building a too good signal is I literally live next to am Airport. My backyard has the Airport fence. But I'm getting too much static, so I will try building something like this much possibly smaller.

With pay ofcourse

I made one tuned to 97.3 MHz using the same materials and method. With 500mw it was clear out to 1 mile and still detectable on my car radio at 1.5 miles. I only wanted it to reach my garage. It was fun for a moment but I limited the use of it to 3-5 hours on a weekend because I lived in a small town and didn't want to attract attention. I've moved since then and use Wi-Fi now when I'm outside.

I live in the south and PVC deteriorates quickly due to the UV and heat. Built my Dipole out of Electrical PVC conduit and it is UV resistant. Cutting your FM antenna to the frequency you are going to use prevents what is call Standing Wave Ratio. If you have a very efficient antenna where most all of the RF wave goes out and very little comes back, this prevents problems of damaging the transmitter. You are correct about the FCC. FCC goes after the pirate radio stations not the seasonal light show. If it does interfere with other stations, they will send you a cease and desist letter.

You do realize this antenna will likely make ANY Part 15 certified transmitter non-compliant with Part 15.239, which governs the allowed field intensity operating under the FCC regulations. While a user may escape the grasp of the FCC if they are indeed operating on a temporary basis for the duration of the holidays, all it takes is one complaint if your signal is interfering with a licensed broadcaster to have an FCC field inspector investigate and file a Notice of Unlicensed Operation (NOUO) against not only the operator for the documented property owner, thanks to the P.I.R.A.T.E Act of 2020. Due to this act FCC fines have increased upwards of $2 million dollars! My site has been assisting academic and hobby broadcasters harness the power of Part 15 compliant broadcasting for educational and hobby endeavors. You should at least place a disclaimer on your video as somebody who ignores the possibility could potentially find themselves in trouble with the FCC should they continue to operate in a non-compliant manner.

I have fpp on a rpio2w, and it never finds the sounblaster on startup. I always have to go in to setup and change the audio output from dummy to sounblaster play 3 and reboot, and the reboot takes FOREVER. Sometimes it doesn't even find it then and I struggle with it for 30min doing power cycles and replugging and rebooting until it finds it. Very frustrating. Any suggestions to improve this?

What if the status display dropdown option doesn't have the LCD screen size I have? I purchased a 3.5 Inch LCD Touch Screen 480x320 for a rasberry pi 4. Any help would be appreciated. I learned a lot from all your videos. Thank you

I know this video is older…hoping you can help. When I use the WLED effects it’s skipping like 15-20 lights on every output. Xlights sequences are fine…tests from the controller work fine. But the WLED plugins don’t light up correctly. Do you know why?

Thank you for this. Many of your videos has been my source of getting started in this hobby.

I ordered the UHF converters in your link and all six of them have different resistance in the center wire. So I just did it the old fashioned way - soldered it :) and it works great. Thanks for the video - great help.

How big is the monitor you are using for your "Tune to" sign? I am looking to make one with a Pi Zero 2 W but need to find an old TV or monitor.

In the instructions it says 1.5 ft coaxial cable yours in the video looks longer I ordered the 1.5 it’s really short

Can you instal fpp on orange pi also instead of raspberry pi or beaglebone?

Hi, i have a rpi zero 2w… but is possible to drive sk6812, or another kind of leds, by rpi gpio? I have the xlights fseq file

Assuming you want to run 5 x 1200 pixels per output, how would you handle the power circuit/power injection/multiple power supplies for one m8 hat

Excellent...thank you so much for such detailed. Couple of questions, obviously we do not want a long cable from transmitter to antenna, what what cable length range is acceptable? Second question.... Will this set up work well on 1/2 PVC? Thanks!

What are you using for your sconces?
