P10 Tune To Sign (2X2)

[davdue]

Pi Zero is the almost the same as any other Pi running FPP

The only time I have ever setup a Pi was to run LightshowPi for. Singing Christmas tree at church. To run FPP do I need to load Noobs and then install FPP? Is all this info over on the Falcon Player website?

I actually went to you tube and found a video that talked me through loading the stuff onto the pi

Go here and download FPP-2.5-PI.zip. https://github.com/FalconChristmas/f...ases/tag/2.5.3
Extract, and burn image o your microSD
Insert into Pi and you are running FPP

FPP installation instructions

Pi Zero has installation setup issues since it doesn’t have an Ethernet port. I use a Ethernet to microUSB adapter.

Is there a specific Ethernet adapter I should get? I had issues with a usb sound adapter before.

Not the exact that I got, but something like this:

I plan on doing WiFi to the Pi zero. So I don’t need that then?

It can be done without the adapter, but I’ve not used it.
I think the process to setup WiFi to your configuration uses:
SSID = FPP
Password = Christmas
Edited: Then access via WEB on smart phone with FPP.local (or maybe 192.168-0.1)

Maybe I misunderstood the first post about the Ethernet adapter. Is that for setting up the Pi and FPP or just for communication to the Pi for the show? My show is completely wireless with ESP-01’s using a Ubiquiti NanoStation. I want this sign to be wireless as well. The Pi Zero has a WiFi adapter right?

Yes it is easier to setup the Pi over a wired connection, but once you configure it you can just leave it wireless. The easiest way to setup a Pi Zero is to use another Pi, like a Pi 3B, get it all configured then move the SD card (and USB if that is where you are storing the data) to the Pi Zero, that way you don't need to worry with an Ethernet adapter.
