Title: Two new presentation documents describing xlights and the pi player
Post by: sean on May 15, 2014, 09:58:03 AM

Capt Murdoch (aka Chris) created two documents he used for NWPAC mini a few weeks ago.

Falcon Pi Player

Xlights/Nutcracker
http://nutcracker123.com/nutcracker/doc/xLights_Nutcracker_Presentation_2014.pdf

These power point presentations give a nice overview of the features of both sets of software.
I will use both when i present at the Academy and at the Expo this July.

thanks Chris!

You know if Xlights could/will be an Extension php off of falcon Pi to build right on the FPP.

xlights is written in C++ using codeblocks and wxwidgets. It has been compile dto run on a raspberry pi, but you dont want to do that. Normal 5 minute compile on a desktop took over two hours on the pi.

The pi has a 700mhz cpu, my desktop 3 ghz.

I think generating effects and the UI will work best on a desktop.

We may take some parts (like a convert routine) and make it available on the fpp.
