Hello,
I'm looking into creating a small display using P10 panels. However, I cannot find much information on integrating this display into FPP and xLights. I know that Colorlight receivers can be directly connected to a Raspberri Pi's eth0 interface and the 'sender' can be configured there. My questions are:
1. Can I use a USB Ethernet adapter to connect a Colorlight receiver to the Raspberri Pi?
2. Is there a way to have multiple small P10 displays controlled by the Raspberri P1?
3. Is there a different P10 controller that works like a falcon controller/ESP that can take E1.31 data and output it to the display?
4. Can an ESP32 be configured or used in any way, shape or form to control or act as a sender card or directly control a P10 display?
5. Is it worth looking into using a DMX controller to control P10 displays? (I.e. E1.31 data is sent to DMX controller (with DMX data) to then be sent to a receiver or the P10 display).
My aim is to have a small display connected wirelessly to my show network. The display is far away from my physically wired show network and my FPP master. I know that I can create FPP slaves, however, there is no stock of Raspberri Pis anywhere and they are a bit expensive. I already own a number of ESP32s and have some old computer hardware available to me. Note: The P10 receiving card does not have to have wifi built into it. I can bend the show network to work around anything. My aim is to be able to have a modular show using the show network as the backbone (I.e. all data for the show must travel over the network to reach its destination).
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank You!
