Here are some great resources

● FPP Manual- https://falconchristmas.github.io/FPP...
This is the most current FPP Manual as of this video and has some references on networking and
many other aspects of this hobby.
●xLights Zoom Room - http://xlightszoom.com
This is probably the best resource for help and learning for just about any aspect in the animated
lighting hobby. It isn't limited to just xLights related issues. There are usually people in the room
24/7.
●Falcon Christmas Forum- https://falconchristmas.com/forum/ind...
This is probably the second best resource for information. It is fairly active and responses are
quick and helpful.

**Note Canispater Christmas has some great videos but he has been doing them for a long time
so some of the information might be a little outdated. The technology in this hobby is constantly
improving so if the video publish date is more than a year old, then screenshots and methods
might be slightly different but the content is very useful.
