Hi everyone!
I started this project a while ago, tried many times to finish it and finally decided to wait some time to calm down because I was really frustrated.
So now I'm back and willing to put an end to my curse with this project.
I've managed to get the Pi running and take screenshots, adjust all the crop values, but I have problem with the Pi sending data to the leds. Most likely I have missed something or some step and I really don't know were to look up for the thing I did wrong. The thing is that when I turn on the Pi I have some inconsistencies, sometimes, I have 2/3 of the strip light up in white, sometimes the entire strip with some kind of degrade from white to red, and when I set up a color and send it to the Pi does not change anything
I'm going to leave all the information below so you can know from the start where I am standing.
My set up:
-Raspberry Pi 2
-Latest version of LibreELEC
-EasyCap
-HDMI to RCA converter
-Using port 12 (18 GPIO)
-Level shifter from 3.3v to 5v. (I build it with 2 BC548)
-Led strip ws2812
When I press 'start' I get this:
ssh out: /storage/.config/autostart.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
And when I press 'Send Config':
sftp sendConfigFile(/home/someone/., hyperion.config.json/storage/.config/)
sftp getFile(/home/someone/., /storage/.config/)
When I take a screenshot:
ssh: $ killall hyperiond 2>/dev/null ; /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-v4l2.sh --device /dev/video0 --video-standard PAL --input 0 --width -1 --height -1 --crop-left 25 --crop-right 25 --crop-top 10 --crop-bottom 12 --size-decimator 1 --frame-decimator 2 --red-threshold 0.0 --green-threshold 0.0 --blue-threshold 0.0 --screenshot

When I send a color:
ssh: $ /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote.sh -c 86ff88
ssh: hyperion-remote:
ssh: version : V1.03.3 (brindosch-2fbbcff/2f01dfa-1495880388
ssh: build time: Jun 3 2017 02:06:16
ssh: Connected to localhost:19444
ssh: Set color to 134 255 136
When I save the configuration or create the file I get this output:
Might not be able to load: DeviceConfig.mDeviceProperties = {leds=254}
I'll be really thankful if someone could lend me a hand with this!
