Is there any way to make Hyperion NG work with /dev/spidev1.0?

timj · 4. Juli 2020

Hi Everyone,

I've got a hardware issue with my rpi3 and my dev/spidev0.0 and 0.1 no longer work. They both fail the loopback test.
But with overlay dtoverlay=spi1-1cs it enables dev/spidev1.0 and this is passing the loopback test fine.

Is there anyway to get Hyperion NG to connect on dev/spidev1.0? It would save my from having to replace my pi!

Thanks

Edit- I've read that config.json is now hyperion.db but i cant find its location! I'd like to try manaully changing the path here.

Can anyone help please?

Did you find a solution to enabling spidev1.0?

See https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co…face-on-the-raspberry-pi/

If correctly configured, Hyperion alpha10 will present you the available spi in the drop-down for selection.

In case it is not available, validate your setup.

Thanks, I had a look enabling spi but it is already on and I'm running alpha10 but I can only see spidev0.0 and spidev0.1.

Like OP only the spidev1.0 pins work

ok, I got it:

Login to HyperBian terminal

cd /boot

sudo vi config.txt

add line: dtoverlay=spi1-3cs

reboot

Now spidev1.0 and 1.1 are in the dropdown menu.

Hopefully I can get my lights working again now.
