if you select a static color, only the first 6 light up?
Apa102 60/mt - 200 leds - Arduino Uno - rpi4 no light

Are you meaning in fastled examples?
This evening i'll do 2 things: verify connections and this thing
TPmodding if the first 6 leds are faulty, i just need to cut them and redo the connections?
If it could help, this is the link to my led strip https://it.aliexpress.com/item…042311.0.0.164e4c4dzsCH0L

no i mean setting a static color at the hyperion webUI.
if the leds faulty then yes, if you have some rests, i would first try them, if those work then you know that your actual may have some issues

I've the doubt my leds aren't apa102 but sk9822, could be helpful to change the name inside the arduino sketch or it's the same thing? -
you have the Model: APA102-C LED Strip maybe thats the thing, the 102C is diffrent than your old strip or not?
-
The previous strip reported the same: apa102c printed on the strip.
It was an old lightberry strip led...
-
TPmodding Ambient_theater77 I had wrong connection and now leds are all on. The issue is that they are always blinking like a Christmas tree in wrong colors... following my debug log.
Please help me
-
Do you have a common ground?
-
ground is connected to the Arduino properly. if I detach it they stop to blink and show solid false colors...

Please help me
Hyperion log looks good, no errors
wrong colours is maybe Leddevice > select BGR instead of RGB or others.
specs of the ledstrip is maybe to high or to low frequency> if you didn't purchase the ledstrip from same vendor then its possible type LED 5050 smd used is diffrent in frequency.
what i should do is higher or lower the baudrate in Hyperion and the Arduino sketch.
if i have a hunch, just go higher
your problem is probably not common ground, because you run the 30l/mtr Apa102C before with no problems.
just for the sake of it check the GND connections.
But................. you didn't power from both sides yet > normally when you don't then the leds can be diffrent in colour at the end but blinking they don't do..
-
i setted it on bgr and other sequences too, but it's always the same. I'm using a 20a power supply but it seems to be a gnd issue
-
here you can see the leds and characteristics Which LED is the best?
-
I've seen the thread, why are you showing it to me? Mines are apa102 should be the best but I can't understand what it mean with my issue
-

you are going from the one in the other, first you state its not GND problem..
Mines are apa102 should be the best but I can't understand what it mean with my issue
Mine to, i i am talking about the fact that no type of ledstrip is similar and they run on diffrent frequencies which you can alter with baudrate settings.
I'm using a 20a power supply but it seems to be a gnd issue
and then you state it is,
i told you to first RULE OUT the possiblillity its a hardware problem in the other topic you started, we are going nowhere like this.
also Mike72 gave you pointers to do/check.
- start at the basics and fix all the wiring
- then go look at hardware
- then go look at software issues/ sketches and such
thats how i would do it.
so first do this and then if you checked/repaired everything then maybe we/I can help you.

You’re right and I’ve done it, some post ago I specify that it was a connection problem and when I solved it finally my leds light up and do the double blink check at startup. Assuming that, now what baudrate I can try to solve?
-
Guys I got it finally!!!! It was a Baudrate issue... I settled it at 500000 and problem is solved. Thx a lot for the patience, really!!!
-
what i should do is higher or lower the baudrate in Hyperion and the Arduino sketch.
if i have a hunch, just go higher
so, where is my reward?
i had a hunch it had to go higher because there's more leds to steer in the same time

You deserve a beer here in Italy
