#Pixelstick and ambiant light manual
79 of the manual but with a router instead of a network switch? I'll pick up whatever hardware you recommend but my budget is limited.We can’t talk about ambient light in film without mentioning the Dogme 95 movement. Like the "Wired with separate show Network on pg.
#Pixelstick and ambiant light Pc
It seems to me that the best thing would be to get a 2nd router and have FPP and all the ESPSs connected to it, and somehow get the PC to connect so I can access the controllers and FPP but not send any other internet data to it. I am open to any solution, I've read about the different setups, but they didn't address WIFI controllers. It has a LOT of browser tabs open usually, a LOT of YT vids using all my PC RAM so when I load a new one it takes several seconds and the show will hang for a second or two. And it gets much worse when I load web pages on the PC, so I think it's all in the networking / router setup. It stutters about the same if I use the FPP or play directly from xLights. I do currently have the FPP connected by ethernet to the router which is a: Wired is much easier, more reliable, and higher throughput. Is wireless worth the effort? Not sure I can answer that, as network design is something I have been doing as part of my job. Multicast can saturate your network if not sub-netted. I have do a reasonable amount of testing. If you get poor response from the esp unicast finitely glitches quite badly.

Multicast can also help, because unicast will wait for acknowledgement packets, but multicast will just keep sending. I started with the FPP rpi being the gateway between the networks, with the Ethernet connected to the show switch and the wifi taking to my home network, but have since upgraded the telco router to a unifi security gateway, which allows me to route between the networks. many of the telco router/wifi devices we get here seem to support 8-16 clients max and then you start seeing connection issues. Good wifi access points make a big difference too, I have been using ubiquiti gear for a few years and it runs like commercial equipment with good indication of signal strength, connection speed etc. With a 255.255.255.0 mask for each the show network has its own switch (not required, but it is in a different locality to my main network switch’s) It also has it’s own wifi access point that has its own SSID on the show network (An outdoor access point cable tied to the down pipe) To make them work properly I have a separate network.


I am successfully running a couple of esp modules for remote props. Personally I am having some issues with Pi Zero's and Wifi connections this year (first year with them), they are only running Tune To signs for me so they're not critical for me. Not saying this is going to fix your problems, it will make it a little more optimal however. Personally, I still use the route between interfaces option. You would also need to add a persistent network route on your PC to be able to access the show network. Then you would just adjust the subnet mask / ip on your ESP sticks, and set wlan0 on the FPP to obtain an address via DHCP and enable routing between interfaces (or leave this unchecked and use the newer proxy option). Show Network Gateway 10.0.2.1 (FPP eth0 IP) Home Network Gateway: 10.0.0.1 (Comcast Router IP) Your current configuration has all IP's from 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.255.255 in the same subnet.ĭo you have a 'full-sized' pi (with an ethernet port) and a wifi dongle? This would allow you to use it either in proxy mode or routed mode, to separate your home network from your show network: You haven't created a new subnet though, all of your devices are in the same /16 subnet.
