Issue with new setup

  • Hi all


    I'm new trying to use hyperion on for a new setup and I have a issue that I cannot solve.

    I'm using APA102 led Strip and Hyperbian installed on a Rpi3.

    The connections seems to be ok but I could not have the real colors and leds on my ledstrip flashes but they not have to. I not Understant why.

    I'm using a 16A 5V power that power the RPI and the led led strip.

    I thought that the CI and DI lines where too long so I had cut it to be at minimum but the issue is the same.

    As a video say more than words, you could see on this video what happens.

    Thankt you for help !

  • I had a doubt for this point so I have cut the wires and the first leds to be shure that the issue do not come from this.

    I had solder new wires and the issue is the same...

  • please find below the logs of my setup:

    And here the configuration of my setup:


  • baudrate setting is to low, you are running 1Mhz



    • Try setting above 1500000 (1,5 Mhz)
    • Disable smoothing section.
    • Measure the PSU, under load not more than 5 volts!
    • Save ledlayout correctly
    • Check GND connections, everything to/from the Pi has to be grounded on PSU V-
  • Thanks for the answer:

    I have modify the baudrate to 1,5Mhz => no change

    disable smoothing => no change (blinking but not as fast as before)

    The PSU is about 4,70V Good or not ?

    Ok for ground, all is ok


    Thanks

  • 4.70 volts DC output is too low.


    has to be 5 volts under load>>> so with every device attached and running.

    chance is big that ledstrip runs with a correct PSU DC voltage




    first change this to the correct DC level, crank it up or change your PSU to a decent one.

  • No I would like to say I have 4,7V with the led strip attached !

    I have 5,13V without any load !



    that means or


    • PSU can't deliver power (amps) that ledstrip and setup demanding > result is powerdrop in Voltage
    • You used wires that are to thin/gauge, to much resistance > result is powerdrop in Amps
    • Connections are not correctly made from/to the ledstrip and PSU > to much resistance > result is powerdrop in Amps

    with all of these points mentioned the ledstrip can have flickering.

    with only 31 leds programmed in Hyperion.NG ledlayout and the PSU falls down already on that from 5.13 to 4.7 volts under load??

    that gives me not a good feeling with a 16A powerbrick used. ( at least thats what they are advertising)


    Ledstrips need a steady/clean 5Volts DC PSU with no rimple in them ( that means AC is running over DC current)

    if i was you i measure the powerbrick that you shown from Aliexpress because i have a hunch that the PSU can't deliver steady/clean DC


    if you can measure with a multimeter then put it on AC voltage and see if there is a value, maybe rectifier build in is bad quality..

    with every AC value above 2 volts AC there's no chance the ledstrip will light in a good fashion.



    Ledstrips hate AC currents and want to run at a steady 5Volts DC no more/no less

    you have also 12volts types ofcourse but i am only talking about the 5 volt types.

  • and about this,


    you are using a LOOP capturing device or Camera, if i was you i lower down the resolution to 720P maximum and increase the FPS ( frames a second) to at least 15.

    then try with only effects on Hyperion.NG > you can install a app Hyperion free and connect to your software with that and steer the lights with only the colourpallette and/or effects.

    settings is easy, same IP adres as hyperion, port is standard.

  • Hello !


    I don't understand, I have buy this power because much of persons have buy this one.... and that's work.

    I have try with a multimeter if the power delivered AC power, the apparel tell 0,1V of AC composant.

    The solder are ok.

    Of course, i have tryed the simple effet with hyperion free and I have the same issue....

    But I have see on thing that could help.

    When led strip connected I have the red led on the raspberry flickering.... maybe not enough power on the raspberry. Could this explain the issue ? How could i correct this ?

  • Ok i'll try this

    But do the power have do be the same ? or can I power the led strip with ma 5V15A power and the raspberry from a phone charger for exemple ?
