Baldrick - The New Controller from Build a Light Show!

[@kintara58]

I think they just wanted to crowbar BAL somewhere in the name, and ended up with Baldrick after a few drinks. 😅

I'm having trouble reaching the baldrickboard.local connected directly to my modem and it doesnt show up?

[@gregmacaree]

If its not reachable via the hostname (baldrick.local) you will need to check your router and find the IP its been allocated via DHCP.

Can I manually set the IP address on this board???

[@gregmacaree]

Yes, an update to the firmware since filming now allows manual addressing

​@panelsrus awesome thanks.

Other than the test mode colour choice names this board looks rather sweet.

Great board. I have a question, you connected the pixelstring to port 1 and there are 8 ports. How do i know how many string i can connect to the first string or port 1? or how many pixels can port 1 manage? I know you can connect multiple string to 1 string using the xConnect pigtails. Is this all the same for other brands boards for example the Falcon controller? Thanks in advance... ( a beginner )

[@xXxDJDANxXx1]

Each port on the baldrick 8 can handle up to 750 pixels.

Thanks for the video. I have few questions. 1. How can this controller be driven by FPP. Meaning, when i create a show where to upload for this controller to run. Would it run off a dedicated computer? 2. Can i get DMX signal off any of the ports to drive DMX protocol devices? (Moving Head).
