Setup
- Pi 3b+
- WS2812B LEDs with 210 LEDs
- 5v 15 amp power supply to power both the Pi and the LEDs (
) - 4k capture card (
) - Tried with both Firestick and Chromecast
Issue
With the LEDs turned off, the HDMI works fine but once the LEDs are on, sometimes the Pi crashes and sometimes the HDMI signal dies resulting in "No Signal" on the TV. My best guess is that one of the pieces of hardware down the chain is causing this.
I tried it initially with a 10a power supply but switched it to 15a assuming it was cutting out due to insufficient power but same issue and I've tried it with 3 different HDMIs. Any suggestions on how to debug this or find the weak link in the chain? I guess the only thing I haven't tried changing is the capture card but before I do, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
