xLights/Falcon/FPP classes at the Expo 2015
« on: June 28, 2015, 12:51:04 PM »
This post will describe classes that will be given at the Expo by the Xlights/Falcon/FPP folks.
I believe there are four rooms that classes are being taught in at the Expo. We have been given a 5th room just for our team.
In the "official rooms" our team are giving these classes

Thurs Jul 16, 4-5pm: Sean Meighan, Intro to xLights (T16)
Fri Jul 17,3:15-4:15pm: Chris Pinkham, Falcon Player ‐  Beginning (F43)
Sat Jul 18, 8:30 ‐ 9:30am: Sean Meighan, Xlights 4.0 ‐  Advanced (S46)
Sat Jul 18, 9:45 ‐ 10:45am: Chris Pinkham,Falcon Player  ‐  Advanced (S51)
Sat Jul 18, 11am ‐ 12pm: Gil Jones, xLights New Effects (S56)

In our xLights/Falcon room we will be giving the same classes a second time.

Thu Jul 16, 10:45-11:45am: Sean Meighan, Intro to xLights (repeat of T16)
Thu Jul 16, 2:45-3:45pm: Chris Pinkham, Falcon Player Beginning (repeat of F43)
Sat Jul 18, 8:30-9:30am: Sean Meighan, Xlights 4.0 Advanced (repeat of S46)

And we plan on giving mini sessions on the folllowing:
Thu Jul 16, 12:45pm: Chris Pinkham, FPP MultiSync (15m)
Thu Jul 16, 1:45pm: Sean Meighan, xLights, Movies, Pictures (30m).
Fri Jul 17, 9:45am: Chris Pinkham, FPP Virtual Matrix over HDMI (15m)
Fri Jul 17, 1:00pm: Chris Pinkham, FPP w/ BBB/Octoscroller/P10 (15m)
Fri Jul 17, 2:00pm: Sean Meighan, xLightsPapagayo (30m).
Fri Jul 17, 4:30pm: Chris Pinkham, FPP Installation (Pi & BBB) (30m)
Fri Jul 17, 3:15-4:15pm: Chris Pinkham, Falcon Player Beginning (xlights/falcon room)
Sat Jul 18, 1:00pm: Chris Pinkham, FPP Real-Time Pixel Overlay (15m)

Finally, there are other subjects that you can just come up to one of us and request a 1:1 session.
some ideas:
how to import LOR
how to make models for AC channels
how to import superstar
how to import LSP
how to have dual projectors synced using dual FPP's
how to do projection mapping using power director 12/13
Bring a song, we will take you through the entire process (Setup, models, song file, effects, export to fseq, run om fpp
.etc

So if you pay $70 for a single day or you pay for the three day pass, come and visit us in our xlights/Falcon Room!

In this room will be
Dave Pitts
Chris Pinkham (Capt Murdoch)
Gil Jones
Steve Giron
Sean Meighan

Ok, I'll post the question here that was posted on FB Xlights/Nutcracker Support Group page...Is there a typo in the Advanced XL4 listing?

In the "official rooms" section...
Sat Jul 18, 8:30 ‐ 9:30am: Sean Meighan, Xlights 4.0 ‐  Advanced (S46)
In the  "xLights/Falcon room" section...
Sat Jul 18, 8:30-9:30am: Sean Meighan, Xlights 4.0 Advanced (repeat of S46)


Same question on FPP Beginner:
In the "official rooms" section...
Fri Jul 17,3:15-4:15pm: Chris Pinkham, Falcon Player ‐  Beginning (F43)
[/size]In the "mini sessions" section...
[/size]Fri Jul 17, 3:15-4:15pm: Chris Pinkham, Falcon Player Beginning (xlights/falcon room)


How is it a repeat or giving a class a second time if it's in the same time slot (just different locations)?  Or is it maybe overflow and you will be broadcasting in one location while teaching live in another room?  Sorry for my obtuseness but I'm just not getting it....(and trying to determine what I want to take when next week).


Thanks for any clarification Sean.

Yes. I will teach the beginning  class on Thursday at 11am, I am only teaching in the official rooms on Saturday. , no planned classes in our xlights/Fpp room by me. I will be available that day for 1:1 classes.
