This is a great video, myself and my 11 year old daughter like to watch your videos. She said if Nick could start at 12 years old doing light then I should be able to do it as well.

Thank you so much you have inspired me (14) to make my own light show this year. I am using a light o rama controller though.

Great vid but one thing that I would say is NOT to have people change a dynamic address to a static address and use the same address. You should never assign static addresses within the range of the DHCP address pool. That can lead to IP address conflicts,. especially if one or more of those devices are off line for extended periods of time like many show controller PI's are between New Years and Halloween or Christmas. It is a better idea to go into the router and set the DHCP address pool to a specific range and then use the addresses outside of that range for your controller and other static addresses.

Thank you for the information! I'll make sure in the next video to address that so nobody has any problems.

Helpful as always. I've done some sequencing but I don't understand how to assign props, strands to the ports. Is there a video you have for that?
@How2Pixel5 ай бұрын
Thanks, glad the video was useful! As for assigning props and strands to ports, I don't have a specific video about it, but you may find my universes & channels video useful here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jKybZMeZutqXmZ8.html It explains how you tell your controller and show player which universes/channels go where, and also shows the visualizer window in xlights that's used to assign props to ports. Hopefully this will help!

How about just using FPP Connect to find your IPfor the first time, that’s how I found mine. Then I setup a static when I got in to my pie
@How2Pixel5 ай бұрын
Oh my goodness, how did I forget about that?! I completely forgot that was a thing. In the next video where I talk about connecting to the controller, I will definitely talk about FPP connect and how you can use that instead of going onto your router. Thank you so much for reminding me about that!

Can any raspberry pie works like the pie 2,3 or has to be the 4

Yes! You can run Falcon Player on a Raspberry Pi Zero, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Hi, Nick. I'm not sure if you will see this but, If you have a network switch that's connected to your.router and the raspberry pi connected to the switch would it still work? I'm assuming so because I've seen other people do this but never explain it. So it may sound like an obvious question but I just wanted to make sure. (And for my light show i'll probably switch to a raspberry pi so this video is very helpful. Sorry about the bad spelling. -I'm on my tablet but have a good rest of your.day and looking forward to the nest episode. ---- @JayMikeLights @JayMikeFun @JayMikeExtra

It will work just fine.

@snowwolfgaming8428 Like tombonini7393 said, it will work just fine. All a network switch does is allow you to have more ethernet ports around your house, and only have to use 1 ethernet cable between your router and that switch. The switch doesn't mess with anything else, so the set up will be the same. I'm planning on explaining this in a future video in the series, I just haven't gotten that far yet 😅
