Hey, i tried hard to get the Setup to run, but i am clueless right now.
I startet to build my first Hyperion Setup:
WS2812b 60LED/m "or" WS2812b 30LED/m
Raspberry Pi 1b+ "or" Raspberry Pi Zero W
5V 10A Power Sup.
and a cheap HDMI Capture Card
First, I cut apart and stripped a microUSB cable. After that I mounted the microUSB cable (red and black) and the cables of the LED strip (red and white) to a DC connector. When I checked the wiring several times using Youtube videos, I plugged the power supply into the DC connector, the Raspberry Pi 1b+ booted up, I waited and waited, but the LED strip gave no signal.
Before that, of course, I set the LED strip via Hyperion website as it was described in the Youtube videos.
As controller type I took WS281X.
I checked the settings countless times. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Hyperbian several times. The LED strips just don't give out any signal.
Then I tested every single LED and everywhere the desired 5V was present. After that I thought maybe the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi 1 didn't work properly anymore, so I bought a Raspberry Pi Zero W. But after the error was not there either, I thought okay, maybe the LED strip is defective. So I bought a second LED strip, but this time only 30LED/m . And to check the functionality this time I ordered a small remote controller for this LED strip. With the small remote controller both LED strips work fine, but with Hyperion the LED just doesn't want to output a signal.
What can I do now to make it work?
btw. I checked the log files every time, but they were ALWAYS empty.
Here is my test wiring.
LED strip at DC connector
Raspberry Pi Zero with an external power supply
This test wiring was to see if the LED strip receives signals when I run an effect via Hyperion webpage.

LED Data Kabel connected to Raspberry Pi Zero GPIO
LED Strip wont turn on with an effect enabled
LED Strip enabled with the Remote Controller - works perfectly
I hope someone of you gentlemens can help me, i m clueless, i have no more ideas
Merry Christmas
Best Regards
