Just not working

  • byrdman: We don't know which LEDs you are use...:/

    By the way, Pin 8 is wrong, use Pin 12 (GPIO 18) for PWM or Pin 19 (GPIO 10) for SPI, depending on your LEDs.

  • I'm using WS2812B. Sorry, should have said that. Smart...


    So would that be GPIO 18 for PWM?


    Thanks for the help!!!


    Oh, another thing....


    When I setup the LED layout it doesn't save that I have them in reverse direction or the start being in the bottom right corner. After I hit save and go back those two things are gone. Thinking about saying screw it and just remounting the LEDs the way default is.


    What do you think? Pain, but...


    This is my Pi....

    2021-07-23%2013.14.30.jpg?dl=0


    The blue wire turns green when it gets to the Pi.


    So from LED data to Pi


    Ground to Pi


    Oh, and 'LED Output' keeps turning off also.


    My General page....

    So I changed to GPIO 10 and at least the light are on now. But look what they're doing....

    Now...

    Also, when I do the RGB Byte Order Wizard the lights don't all stay the same color.

  • Looks like unstable 5V. If your power supply is adjustable set it to exactly 5V. Maybe you should also disable audio in config.txt (runs also via PWM) and run the RPi under root instead pi user.

  • Normally this flickering like in the video is a sign of unstable +5V for the LEDs, but if you say they are measured to exactly 5 Volts it could be another issue.


    I think your problem has to do that PWM can not run freely. The things you see on the lights now is probably just audio static within the audio driver > PWM and GPIO18 on Hyperion.NG needs to have root privileges.


    And/or you need a level shifter to boost the signal.


    You need to run Hyperion as root with this configuration (device ws281x) PWM


    First is set dtparam=audio=off in config.txt boot section.


    If that doesn't work > in terminal of RPi:


    sudo systemctl disable --now hyperiond@pi


    sudo systemctl enable --now hyperiond@root


    sudo reboot now


    Copy and paste this code line with Ctrl/Shift +V in terminal then press enter


    or


    sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/hyperiond@.service


    Remove the user sessionline and save with Ctrl+O and exit Ctrl+x.


    Don't forget to reboot.


    Thanks to Ambientheater77 for this.

  • It's closer after restarting and going back to GPIO 10.

    I had turned Smoothing off. Back on mad it even better.


    Thanks for all the help!


    Haven't figure out how to log in remotely so I don't have to move it from the TV. What's the best way? I think I made a SHH.txt file when I set it up.


    How do I get Hyperion to run as default. Do I need to because it seems to be working?


    "First is set dtparam=audio=off in config.txt boot section." is the only thing I didn't do.


    I got logged in remotely and did the rest. But it stopped working and I had to go set things back up again. Think I got it, so manny settings...


    Thanks again!


    After turning off last night and back on today, they are not quite right. Looks like the left and bottom are not right.


    What do you think?

    Movie...


    Is controller type "ws281x" correct?


    Now I did something to mess it up....


    another movie...

  • Remove the SD card from your Pi and give it in a PC. In the boot folder you can find the config.txt. Open it and paste dtparam=audio=off.

  • In this case use a Unix capable editor (geany, notepad++), set the line end to Unix LF.

  • This is what I did to Config.txt


    https://www.dropbox.com/s/teaqwi8j9gc6jia/config.txt?dl=0


    Config.txt


    Look at this video.


    https://www.dropbox.com/s/y27a…07-24%2016.10.55.mov?dl=0

    Video


    The LED near the end of the run are not right. I'm using a 5V 15Amp power supply. I did notice the supply wire is warm. Maybe a thicker supply wire. What do you think?


    So, this is after a thicker gauge power supply to the LEDs.

    It's better for sure. But still not right. Like it's not keeping up or something? You tell me, please.

  • there's contradiction in your config.txt file.


    # is used to ignore the line, to leave it out its loading the line..

    #before the line means >>> it doesn't load

    only the line means>>> it does load the line


    So, if you want to enable SPI controller then you state

    dtparam=spi=on    without use of the # !!


    If you want to disable audio then

    dtparam=audio=off remove the other audio line.

    or

    #dtparam=audio=on

    this is both the same result!


    Thats the example for sound and SPI.


    next, power your ledstrip from both sides it will even out the current in the strip

    also use thicker wires, gauge should be 16AWG or thicker. To thin can cause to much resistance and heating up of wires/powerdrop/.

  • config.txt

    Easily replace

    dtparam=audio=on

    to

    dtparam=audio=off

    you have both activated!


    And be patient. First of all the LEDs should correct driven by the RPi.

    Then you should test if the start effects working. After that you can go to the image processing from the grabber.?

  • dtparam=audio=off is the last line and that has priority. ;)

    Both activated is not possible!

  • I don't understand?


    Did I do something wrong?


    So I put power at the other end, from the same power supply. When I did the ground wire to the Pi got hot so I unplugged it.


    But now no lights are on at all.


    Do I need to change controller or something?

  • Did I do something wrong?

    No, I was wrong. Your config.txt should be ok.

    If you powering to both ends make sure that +5V go to +5V and GND to GND to the power supply. A hot wire means a shortcut. Not good!

    Maybe make some good photos from your wiring, it‘s easier to understand.

    You can these upload here.
