In today's episode of Light Show Networking with Nick or, LSNWN, we're gonna dive into how to connect our main light show computer, aka, a Raspberry Pi to our network and access it. Connecting to them for the first time can be a little difficult, but this video explains how you can do it, and settings you can change to make it a breeze to connect to it in the future. Originally, this video was also going to explain how to connect a pixel controller to your network, but I decided to cut that out because of how long the video was. If you're interested in learning how to connect a pixel controller to a network, stay tuned for the next episode where I'll cover that!
An additional thing I forgot to mention in the video is this tutorial also works when using FPP on a Beagle Bone computer. The only difference is most beagle bones don't have a built-in wifi interface, so you'll need a wifi adapter or just stick with ethernet.

Great video Nick. Very useful and helpful information. Really enjoyed the intro to this video. 😆

Haha thanks!

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.

@How2Pixel 4 месяца назад

That's awesome! Glad the videos are useful, and I'm glad I could inspire your daughter to do a light show!

Thanks Nick for a great video even for seasoned network engineers!

@How2Pixel 4 месяца назад

No problem, glad it was useful!

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.

That's awesome!! I'm glad the videos have been helpful and inspired you to make your own show!

Another great video. Keep up the good work

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.

@How2Pixel 4 месяца назад

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?

@How2Pixel 4 месяца назад

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 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VFk1dhUt3ik.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

@How2Pixel 4 месяца назад

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!

@marlonleiva9335 14 дней назад

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

@How2Pixel 14 дней назад

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

@tombonini7393 4 месяца назад

It will work just fine.

@How2Pixel 4 месяца назад

@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 😅

Ok thanks!
