NOOB Cant get any lights to do anything

  • Been working on this about a week. Im dying here. i had LED #0 light for a minute but thats it.


    Following instruction set here: https://hyperion-project.org/t…mbilight-no-soldering.77/


    The iMac I was using to write RPI images to SD cards died in the middle of this project so I have another Raspberry Pi running Raspian that I am using to run the Hypercon.jar and create my config. I am then SSH into my other pi running Openelec and media center.

    log

    Please help. I am about to start throwing electronics out the window.

  • Thanks for the responses. Apparently i did not have SPI on... I am not sure where I missed that in the tutorial but Im going back to see if i can find it...


    Code
    OpenELEC (official) Version: 8.0.3
    OpenELEC:~ # grep -r 'dtparam' /flash/config.txt
    grep: /flash/config.txt: No such file or directory


    I found and followed this and now spi is on but still no luck.

    Code
    mount -o remount,rw /flash
    cd /flash/overlays/
    curl -L --output enable-spi-overlay.dtb --get https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3669512/temp/enable-spi-overlay.dtb
    nano /flash/config.txt
    
    
    device_tree_overlay=overlays/enable-spi-overlay.dtb
    dtparam=spi=on


    Now it shows this:


    Code
    OpenELEC (official) Version: 8.0.3
    OpenELEC:~ # grep -r 'dtparam' /flash/config.txt
    dtparam=spi=on


    And new log

  • did you reboot after the changes?
    ssh in: Failed to open device('/dev/spidev0.0')


    Yes I sure did but still no luck.


    I decided to start over and try a previous version of OpenElec. 6 instead of 8. I followed the install instructions and now it works and I have a working config. I do not know how stable this setup is and I am kinda afraid to update the OpenElec for fear that it will stop working.


    I still have errors in my log file but at least i have lights now. Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it!


  • Ok I will look into the not binding to port. Thanks everyone for your help, now that I at least have lights working I have the necessary motivation to keep working on it. Not getting ANY lights after working on it daily for weeks was seriously frustrating!


    We can close this thread now. I will hopefully figure the rest out on my own but I will come back if necessary. THANKS AGAIN!
