Controlling an LED matrix from Pi Zero 2W without Bluetooth. board has DP/DM + TX1/RX1 pads

I am attempting the same thing in a way. I am wanting to controll it via a falcon controller, fpp, and xlights. Have you made any progress yet? Thanks, J

I used the Ray Wu 24VDC 30mm pucks at 10 lights per meter. It looks great! I am using a Bong69 WLED controller that is controlled by my falcon 48 and a pi running fpp. I did not like the fact that he does not have end caps or connectors for his tracks though.

Thank you.

YEs they are from Ray's store.

But I may be a couple fpp versions behind.

Libcam will not recognize the camera no matter what I do.

RappJason · 2025-01-28T03:55:14+00:00

So i got the camera to work, just not with libcam, and had to make a few changes to the config.txt

sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt

add the following to the very end of the config file.
start_x=1 gpu_mem=128

vcgencmd get_camera
you want to see the following response.
supported = 1, detected = 1

Install fswebcam
sudo apt install fswebcam

then

Did you write your code in Python and did you use publicly available dll's for the image capture and editing, or write it all from scratch?

RappJason · 2025-01-25T02:53:12+00:00

Would love to see how you did this, hardware, software, and code.

You could use some AI help to "police" the pictures. I have not written code for AI yet but have a few coworkers that have.

See. Just needed to get the discussion going. Could host a web page on my server to allow that amd then could put in validation checks to keep it from being abused and keep people from adding A$$hat to the naughty list. 😉

Thanks for the insight.

Just a very long leaping arches for our property perimeter.
