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
