About Baldrick Buddy
Baldrick Buddy finds the Baldrick lighting controllers on your network and lets you run and set them up from one place, without hunting for IP addresses or opening each board's web page. FIND YOUR BOARDS • Every board on the network in one list, with name, type, firmware, address and whether it is receiving data • Search, filter and sort when you have a lot of boards • Tap a board's address to open its web interface in Safari RUN THEM • Start a test pattern to check your wiring, with brightness and colour • Start and stop Cunning FX presets, and choose the one that runs at power-up • Busk Board: big buttons for running looks live, with a Blackout button • See what is sending a board data, and how fast SET THEM UP • Outputs and pixel models: names, pixel counts, colour order, brightness • Relays and dimmers • DMX presets, and the preset sent at power-up • Physical buttons: what a press and a long press do • Board name and network: fixed IP address and WiFi • Create and edit Cunning FX presets and Busk Board buttons Nothing is changed on a board until you tap Save. KEEP THEM UP TO DATE • Update one board, or every board that needs it, and watch them come back • Switch boards between the main, beta and commercial release channels, one at a time or all together • Offline update: download firmware while you have internet, then update boards on a network that has none PRIVATE BY DESIGN Buddy talks only to the boards on your own network. There is no account and no cloud, and your board list and settings never leave your device. The only internet use is downloading firmware when you ask for it. You need Baldrick hardware on the same WiFi or Ethernet network. If nothing is found, check you are on the right network and allow Local Network access when asked.
What’s new
Version 0.7.1 · Updated October 23, 2026
What's new • System updates for a Baldrick17: when one is waiting, Buddy offers it on the Boards list and the board's Firmware page. Improvements • The Baldrick Buddy logo now sits at the top of the Boards and Show players pages. • Ports and models: Save and Cancel only appear once you've changed something. Fixes • Boards behind an FPP stay up to date on the Boards list, instead of showing as not answering until you opened Show players. • A board that stops answering for about 30 seconds is now marked as not answering. • A finished offline update shows the version the board was on before, rather than the new one twice.
