Hello!

I'm having trouble getting the Raspberry Pi version to work. I can access the simple desk on the app and manually control the lights. But, I can't activate chases or scenes.

I built my project via the desktop app and uploaded it to the Pi via the web interface.

So my question is there any additional documentation available other than what I accessed when I downloaded the image file for the Rasp Pi? I need to understand how to use this app - I can't even Open a project I have uploaded to the Pi (that option is grayed out). So I'm thinking I just don't know how to use the app properly on the Pi (I have no problems with the desktop version).

Also, when I try and go to the Documentation page I get this error:

"Misdirected Request

The client needs a new connection for this request as the requested host name does not match the Server Name Indication (SNI) in use for this connection."

Thanks in advance for any help!

As I replied to your other request, you have to switch to "design mode" before you can edit something, add a fixture, or load a show file. The Pi defaults to starting with operate mode active.

Thank you!

This is why I need some documentation. How do I switch to "design mode?"

You could have a look at the On Line Manual: https://docs.qlcplus.org/v4/main-window

Go for the Green Triangle Icon (which is on the Top Right of your Screen): Switch between Design Mode and Operate Mode (CTRL+F12).

OK. That works! Thank you!

One more quick question - QLC+ doesn't take up the full screen. How can I have it boot to the full screen size of the display and also in design mode?

I should add that I have toggled the screen size and it doesn't change. So I need a way to charge that and boot using that resolution.

On the Virtual Console Tab click the Toolbox Icon (Top Right) and set the Resolution you want to use.
