Yes. License keys are stacked on an EEPROM based on their $$ value, not the number of outputs they cover. Stacking two 2-output $5 keys is the same as adding a single 8-output $10 key. If you stack a $5 key with a $10 key it will enable 16 outputs […]

The License Key flavor does not have to cover the total number of string outputs on a cape. If you have an 8-port cape with 3 quad-differential outputs and a 16-output expansion header, the total number of output is 36. If you are only using the 8 onboard string outputs […]
License Keys come in 4 tiers based on the number of pixel string outputs being licensed. The four options cover up to 2 outputs, 8 outputs, 16 outputs, and 48 outputs. License Keys may be stacked, but normally it would make sense to just get the higher tier, for instance […]
License Keys are used to digitally sign the EEPROM for a cape. This can be an EEPROM included on the cape or a Virtual EEPROM provided with FPP. FPP checks for a signed EEPROM at startup. If the EEPROM is signed, the enhanced functionality in the controller portion of FPP […]
If you built one of Scott’s boards for your own personal use, then Yes, you are entitled to a free voucher. Just email a pic to diy@falconplayer.com and we’ll send you a voucher. We don’t even care what color your boards are, if you chose purple, red, green, blue, or […]
No. The FPP developers are strong proponents of Open Source, Open Hardware, and the DIY community. As a way of showing this support for our DIY cape users, we are providing free vouchers which can be used to “purchase” a License Key from Shop.FalconPlayer.com for free. If you have a […]
FPP is made up of two primary parts, the “player” portion and the “controller” portion. The controller part of FPP allows FPP to control pixels which are directly attached to a Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, or PocketBeagle SBC (Single Board Computer). The player portion of FPP is everything else. FPP can […]
