Newbie Help Needed

This is my first time setting up an Ambilight system using a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Thus far, I've tried Hyperion v.1.03.1 on Raspbian Stretch, OSMC, and currently have OpenElec on my microSD card. I haven't been able to get Hyperion to work on any of these 3 OS. I am a bit unsure of my hardware setup as well and I hope someone can tell me if my setup looks correct. I am using the following components:

- WS2801 LEDs (15 x 29 LED configuration https://www.aliexpress.com/ite…ED-Strip/32540860114.html)

- 5V 8A power supply

- 4 pin 5050 RGB light strip connectors (so I wouldn't have to solder each strip)

Here are a couple of pictures of the set up:

In the above pic, the way I have the terminal block set up is:

1) GND from start and end --> Terminal Block --> negative DC power jack plug adapter
2) 5V from start and end --> Terminal Block --> positive DC power jack plug adapter
3) Pin 19 (MOSI SPI) --> Terminal Block --> CK from start
4) Pin 23 (SCLK SPI) --> Terminal Block --> SI from start

Here is the result I am getting when I try to set RED in the colorpicker on Hyperion:

Here are my settings on Hyperion:

I would really appreciate getting this set up. Once this is working correctly, I plan on using an HDMI splitter to HDMI2AV converter to Pi to be able to use my various other devices. Thanks in advance

I don't if you're still struggling with this, but I just noticed that you've put the MOSI (Master Out Slave In i.e. Data) to the CK (Clock) connector? If this wasn't a typo, then swapping the cables over will probably solve your problem.

Thanks, but I found that the issue was, I didn't have a ground from my RPi0W. Plus, I ended up swapping to an RPi3 and now it works great. The only thing left to do is calibrate the colors a little bit.
