Title: FPP Connect, Auto Start Channels, with FPP LED Panels
Post by: nmiller0113 on October 15, 2019, 01:03:12 PM

Anyone here using FPP LED Panels controllers, like an octoscroller on a BBB, with FPP Connect and auto channel configuration for the start channel in the model configuration?  Just wondering how I'm supposed to configure the port numbers and protocol and whether this type of config is even supported for FPP connect and auto start channels?  I'm only asking as I'm using that for all my other controllers and it's so convenient.

With the Panels, you likely only have one model on that controller (the Matrix).  Thus, using auto start channels is kind of pointless.   Set the start channel to something like "!TuneTo Sign:1" to have it be the first channel on the controller named "Tune To Sign".

Thanks Dan, makes sense.  I noticed that FPP Connect doesn't update the start channel on the LED Panel tab, but I'm assuming that's just not a feature yet?  Though I'm not sure why there would be a checkbox in FPP Connect for that if it wasn't supposed to?

Just pinging on this again to confirm whether or not this was the intent, in not updating the start channels on the LED Panels tab of FPP.
