In today's video, we are going to be building a FPP control box that will act as my show “master” player, as well as have outputs to run 8 strings of pixels directly from the controller with the option to have 12 additional ports that can be run from the smart receiver ports. This all comes from the Kulp K8-Pi expansion board.
The entire build fits in a “RNI1500” Case that was purchased from WiredWatts. A custom 3D printed mounted bracket was used to mount all of the parts into the case.
