Hello! im new to coding and have a hard time understanding the “shaders“ page.

from what im looking at its a bunch of code to update the recur device to fix bugs and add stuff?

but how to i used this to upload onto the device?

also im not getting any video out on my device ive go to the settings and theres no option for video out like there is in the youtube demo

shaders are small text files of code that run on the gpu. not so obvious from the name if you dont know what it is! in the newer recurboy firmware im calling them PATTERNS and EFFECTS (depending if they are generating the video or processing it) which might be easier way to think of them…

then for the video output… what do you have plugged into the pi for output ? if hdmi is detected on boot it should output over this. otherwise it will outpput composite video.. over the tssr jack on pi3 (if thats what you are using…)

thanks for replying,

currently im using a pi 3b+ and im using an hdmi output.

ill try the a/v to see if that works.

as for the shaders code do i copy and paste them using VisualStudioCode to upload them?
