I was looking to order a couple this week out..
If by "outputs" you mean the USB or Ethernet, then yes.
Yes. I meant USB and Ethernet. That will make this a very flexible tool.
Cool, glad to see it coming along!
Any update on when these are going to ship?
Who says lights are just for Christmas..
DHL site says I will get them Friday.
I know I saw this somewhere but for the life of me can't find it. How would I configure this in fpp and xlights to have direct control from xlights while sequencing? I'd like to be able to drop an effect on the timeline and see it real time if possible.
Isn't this what happens when you put it in Bridge mode? I know that's how my P10 panel works.
I have the gpio outputs configured in fpp and a string of 50 directly connected until I get the PiCap and they work perfect when playing back. In bridge mode though I get nothing. Am I missing part of the configuration? How should it be setup in xlights?
"when playing back" - I'll have to assume that is when you are "playing back" an FSEQ file stored on the RasPi.
Yes when playing an fseq file in fpp it works fine. When I put it in bridge mode and play the same sequence in xlights I get nothing.
You need to configure the E1.31 universes in the FPP Channel Outputs config page to use FPP bridge mode. We will separate out this into a "Channel Inputs" section eventually, but not for FPP v1.x. You to not need to check the "enable E1.31 output" checkbox when using bridge mode.
Turns out Falcon does not ship outside USA so I have to find a way to get somebody to send it to me instead.
Shipping costs are really high ( about $40 just shipping costs) so I think I wait till March 2017.
I will be having my yearly vacation in Florida then and have to deal with the old fashion direct to GPIO pins for this year then.
