Then at the OKC mini I got a sweet deal on a Falcon 16 V2 (with a 16 output daughter board for a total of 32 outputs). The previous owner bought a V3. Next year I will move it all over to its own isolated network (it's running now as is and I don't believe in changing anything mid show). Did the pictures help as far as how the hardware is hooked up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out it's sold out. No info on expected return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brichi Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 exactly, sucks I've been buying individual, just order cables and asked RayWu to send me 4 panels. Just waiting on Hanson electronics to tell me if they have the BBB and octoscrolla in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I'm on the road for a few days. Once you get all the pieces ordered, can you send me a list. This thread is moving so fast it's going to be hard to keep up... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k6ccc Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Thank you. BTW, my wife and I spent almost 6 hours driving today. Had a long discussion about next year. Got a green light for everything I was thinking of doing, so the P10s are gonna happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brichi Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 sick!! my wife loves that im already buying for next year, this year isn't even over yet, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 As I tell people, it is so much easier to decide what you want to change, when you can look at this year's display. I figure I have the following year pretty well planned out prior to the current year's show ending. I also want to be able to start sequencing (or at build the Visualizer changes) in February. Next year may be more involved assuming that the SuperStar integration is improved in S5 as I will have to change a bunch of stuff to make that migration. I have been playing with S5 beta versions, but had no intention of moving my 2017 show to S5. However I assume I will move to S5 by the time I start 2018 sequencing...

brichi Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 same here, I like having the ideas now, little by little buy so u don't feel it all at once and then work on it in the summer outside for me when its 80-90 degrees and not 20 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebrown1972 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I have considered building a p10 matrix but wasn't sure if LOR could control it. It looks like now I see that it can. Hopefully I will have one for 2018!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brichi Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 Im hoping LOR can too, hopefully i get everything in next week, right now all i have is the beaglebone, still waiting on the P10 panels and the octoscroller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebuechner Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) I'm considering building a P10 panel to replace my holiday Coro Singing Trees. This will be my third P10 panel in the show. By using a P10 panel I'll have the option of putting up whatever face I choose to match the music that I'm playing instead of being stuck with just the 4 images of trees. If you're going to go with the beaglebone definitely use Dan's image. He made some improvements to His Image which allows you to limit the outputs to only what you have connected so that you can maximize your refresh rate. It also has support for P5 panels and other scan rates other than 1/8. Edited December 21, 2017 by Ebuechner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
