k6ccc 883 Posted January 12, 2018 Create a visualization file laid out to match the panels and sequence. why would a P-10 panel be any different than any other pixels - other than there are a lot of pixels... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree 100%. Would be easy, peasy, if the E1.31 controller knew how to handle the P10s as just groups of smart pixels. I don't know of an E1.31 controller that can take the wires from the first P10 cable, and then logically address all the remaining pixels connected. What IC (chip type) do I set for the P10 Pixels? Is there a V+, V-, and data wire from the first P10 panel? How do I get to the n +1 pixel from the controller (where n = the maximum pixels supported on a single SPI port)? The Australian group has some videos on P10s, but none identified how to use an E1.31 controller can be used, similar to smart pixels (universes, channels). It appeared the P10s needed a Beagle Bone and Octoscroller between the P10s and E1.31 board (at least, that's how I interpreted one of the videos).

k6ccc 883 Posted January 12, 2018 You don't use a traditional E1.31 controller. You use either a Beaglebone or Raspberry Pi single board computer running Falcon Player in bridge mode.

Mr. P 642 Posted January 12, 2018 You can subscribe to and follow this thread where they are discussing P10 panels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dibblejr 849 Posted January 12, 2018 Jerry ` you may want to pm Ebuechner he's a great source of knowledge in the p10 area. JR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dennis Laff 146 Posted January 12, 2018 There is a small controller that the P10 panels plug into that is E1-31 its from Ron"s Holiday lighting alto he is out of stock till sometime in February he has a video on his website , the controller is for led panels I'm going to get one when there in stock and see if it works.
