Plug the bootable installer into a Mac that is connected to the internet and compatible with the version of macOS you're installing. Press and hold the Option (Alt) ⌥ key immediately after turning on or restarting your Mac. Release the Option key when you see a dark screen showing your bootable volumes. After installation is complete, your Mac might restart to a setup assistant. If you're selling, trading in, or giving away your Mac, press Command-Q to quit the assistant without completing setup. Then click Shut Down. When the new owner starts up the Mac, they can use their own information to complete setup.

Let’s talk a little more about power. There are two power connectors- one is an Anderson PowerPole connector block, and is where you can feed big honking currents in. The other is a 0.1” pin header, suitable only for much smaller currents. It’s provided for convenience, as it mates with many LiPo batteries- but be warned that the PixelPusher contains no undervoltage protection, so it is possible to damage your battery this way.
The red terminal of the Anderson PowerPole connector should connect to the positive output from the power supply.Pixelpusher
PixelPusher itself supports supply voltages between 4.5 and 30 volts.
There are three jumpers on the v3 board. They must be set correctly before you can apply voltage to the board. They are marked thusly:

  • 5v strip
    • Selects 5.1 volt output for the onboard regulator (as opposed to 10.6v)
  • 5v bypass
    • Connects the microcontroller module directly to input power, rather than using the regulator.
    • WARNING - if your power supply is below 7 volts, you must set the 5v bypass to the ‘on’ position. If your power supply is greater than 7 volts, you must set the 5v bypass jumper to the ‘off’ position.
  • Direct
    • Connects the strip bus directly to the power input, rather than using the regulator. WARNING - You must enable this if you want to drive large numbers of pixels. The onboard regulator is only capable of 2 amps.

The reason for this is that there are many different types of strip and pixel, and they need different voltages. PixelPusher supports several.
If you are using strips with a supply voltage the same as your power supply’s output, you should set the direct jumper to the ‘on’ position. Otherwise, beware! it is possible to damage strips by connecting them to a voltage that is too high.
If you are using 5v strips and the onboard regulator, you must set the “5v strip” jumper. Otherwise, the output voltage from the onboard regulator will be 10.63 volts, which is correct for many ‘12 volt’ strips. This voltage is low enough to allow SD600A based strips to completely turn off their red pixels. If you are using LPD8806 strips, or the WS2801 LED pixels, then you can set the 'direct' jumper to the closed position and bypass the regulator.
Finally, if you are using the direct jumper, you should also set the Reg disc jumper to the ‘off’ position. Otherwise, it must be set to the ‘on’ position.
Advanced users note: Pixels with other power requirements than these must either be powered externally, or both the Reg disc and direct jumpers must be set to ‘off’ and power fed into the TP1 pads from an external source. The negative pad of TP1 is the eastern one, and is connected to the system’s groundplane.
Now that you have set all these jumpers correctly, you may apply power to the system. The PowerPole connector is recommended, and is rated for up to 40 amps; if you intend to use high currents such as these it is recommended that you bridge across the “direct” jumper with solder, or place a wire-ended fuse in its position. Heroic Robotics can perform this modification before shipping if necessary. The V3 boards have much meatier construction and shouldn't need this modification anyway.
Connect a standard ethernet cable to the Ethernet jack and plug its other end into a switch or router. PixelPusher does not support auto-MDIX and as a consequence tends not to work well with a direct connection to some laptop computers. When power is applied you should see a blue light come on atop the microcontroller module, followed a few seconds later by orange and green LEDs on the ethernet jack. (Both ethernet LEDs are green on the v3 PixelPusher.) Your switch should show a 100 Mbit connection, with activity once a second as the PixelPusher announces itself. This is a successful test! If it doesn’t work, check your power supply and ethernet wiring.

Pixelpusher is an online multiplayer action game with delightfully simple mechanics.

Note: macOS users should first check the macOS client notes below

  1. Download the .zip archive for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
  2. Unzip the .zip archive. This should extract the pixelpusher-client executable.
  3. Run pixelpusher-client and enter the address of a server to connect and play.

macOS client notes

The macOS client works, but it is a real pain to get running.

  • The macOS client is not packaged as an app, so it can only be run from the terminal. This means you will need to know some command line basics to play on macOS :S
  • The macOS client is unsigned, so you will need to explicitly give permission for it to run .

Also, I haven't been able to get fullscreen working properly on macOS.
