Quick Edit: Title was wrong, it was 2813 5050 LED strips we purchased.
Hello,
So, tricky issue here, been problemsolving for a while now but no solution (well, one, but not viable long-term, see below).
Hardware:
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
WS2813 Led Strip 5m
OSMC
External 5v 90W power supply
Wiring:
Everything is connected properly according to diagrams.
DI and CI(Althought it says BI on these), is connected to pin 19 and 23 respectively.
5V is connected to the Power supply
Ground is connected to power supply and pin 6
Problem:
After installing Hyperion and uploading a configuration from HyperCon and restarting. We see the rainbow swirl boot effect, and the menu colors are properly shown, only for about 10 seconds, however.
After those 10 seconds, the lights all just shine bright white.
Non-viable solution:
However, if we SSH into the pi, and do something such as open top and just go back and forth through menu really fast, the lights will show the appropriate colors when running an RGB Test sequence video on it.
But if we stop, it stays shining white.
It also works if we ran a bash command to echo 1 infinitely as fast as possible, which also worked. But this put the raspberrys cpu load at 98%+ load, which obviously isn't a feasible solution.
So, currently we are out of options and thus came here to ask for some insight and possibly some help in solving this issue.
Does anyone have any idea as to what the problem might be, and possibly a solution?
I can get a video of what it looks if that would help.
