Today we answer the question of how many streamdecks can be run reliably off a Raspberry Pi and show how it functions

Apollo 13, yeah, one would have to pay close attention to which one is first, second, third or they all collapse like a house of cards.

Hey what have you found happens to know that the decks aren't getting enough power? I had 2 (mini and an XL) hanging off the rpi itself and saw that the buttons would become unresponsive after a bit. I moved them to a powered hub and still see the same thing.

Interesting, most the time it would flash and be unresponsive I’ve found, it would work or not, not in between..

Hi there, what model of Raspberry Pi are you using please?

[@RyanSomerfield]

Raspberry PI 4B 4GB i believe?

[@tedz2000]

Are all your decks running from the same companion profile, with only a series of pages on each, or there’s a way to set button’s for each despite the pages… thanks

[@RyanSomerfield]

its all coming from the same companion instance, you could setup different pages for different decks which dont have the ability to change outside of whatever you allow it to, so streamdeck 1 could have pages 1-5 for example

got it thanks -- trying to do it on the raspberry pi.. cant connet :(@@RyanSomerfield

[@RyanSomerfield]

hmm thats odd.. have you tried rescanning usb?@@tedz2000

[@tedz2000]

i can see both decks, but if put something on page one etc etc it shows on both decks. i thought each deck was independent of all its pages@@RyanSomerfield
