Matrix and Tune To Sign
« on: September 26, 2020, 02:46:01 PM »
I am adding a 4Wx5H P5 panel matrix and a 2Wx1H Tune To sign to my display. I have my matrix setup and tested through a Pi3B+ running FPP and a colorlight card. My sign is tested and run through just a colorlight card although I did set it up and tested with FPP before dedicating the Pi to the matrix.I have been through videos and forums and can't figure out the best way to add this to xlights. If someone might have any suggestions or links to good tutorials or videos, that would be great. I'm sure I'm missing something pretty simple.

Thanks,
Jim

Pretty sure you cannot run a ColorLight card standalone.  You need a device running FPP to convert the E1.31 pixel data to send it to the ColorLight.
