Intro

Welcome to the docs for the Baldrick controller, these should help you with any questions you have such as

• What can it do?
• How do I do x?
• Why is this bit flashing

and more

Baldrick Controller Features

• 5v - 24v with onboard power management (to avoid any BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOMS)
• 8 Ports handling many pixels per port (but 750 pixels per port at 40fps)
• 2 Power inputs (which combined with the included 7.5 amp fuses allows for full pixel runs at 100%)
• 3 Programmable Button ports (Can use the FPP API to start / stop a sequence)
• Small footprint compatible with other smart receiver mounts
• No Pi or FPP Licence required
• Push from xLights integration

In addition, we've tried to add some simple quality of life improvements such as a QR code which links directly to the manual (easy to read on a mobile in the dark) and the three buttons have not only ports but physical buttons onboard to help you test without having to hook everything up and an inbuilt test mode which gives a full colour wash to 2000 pixels just by long pressing the onboard buttons.

Video introduction

Our good friend Greg has produced a video overview of our 'development board' which you should have a watch over tonight whilst you're having dinner.

Just a quick note that this unboxing is a development version of the board so things like E1.31 and other developments are coming to the board, they just weren't present in this release
