Falcon Player on Raspberry Pi
Falcon Player (FPP) can be installed on a Raspberry Pi to create a dedicated show player for synchronized holiday lighting displays. Once installed, the Raspberry Pi can play sequences, audio, and scheduled playlists without requiring a computer to remain connected during your show.
FPP supports a wide range of Raspberry Pi models and is continually updated with new features and hardware support. Because the installation process changes as new versions of FPP and Raspberry Pi hardware are released, this Wiki does not attempt to duplicate the official installation instructions.
Hardware Requirements
Typical hardware includes:
- Raspberry Pi (any model currently supported by FPP)
- MicroSD card
- Power supply
- Ethernet or Wi-Fi network connection
- USB flash drive (if required by your FPP version and configuration)
Refer to the official FPP documentation for the current list of supported hardware and recommendations.
Installation
Follow the official Falcon Player installation guide for the latest installation procedures, supported Raspberry Pi models, and configuration instructions.
After Installation
Once FPP is installed you can:
- Configure your network settings.
- Upload sequences and audio files.
- Create playlists.
