Basic/Core/Cheap/Entry Set-Up

Hello all,

I would like to start with the Hyperion project for my 65" 4K HDR10+ TV.

For this I have done some research and put together my experiences in a graphic.

In the first step, I do not want to worry about DRM content.

As far as I know, I don't have any problems with Kodi anyway, and an HDMI splitter and a decent capture card is expensive, but could probably be integrated into the setup at any time?

My question now would be if this works the way I drew it:

My shopping list would be the following:

> RPI (already owned running Raspbian with Docker)

> Chromecast with Google TV (already owned, TV with Android TV should also work)

> ESP32

> APA102 5m 60LED/m

> 5V 20A 100W LED power supply (I still have a 12V 5A 60W LED power supply here. But I don't know if it works with this voltage. Maybe only for testing).

What do you think? Is something missing?

Is there any tutorial for a similar setup?

Thank you in advance

Thanks for the reply and clarification on the 12v. I thought it would work because it's an "LED power supply". Seems like there are 12V LED stripes...

On the other points: Did you click on the graphic to see it in full? I was also confused with the picture after I posted it, but I thought it was familiar to non-nobies like me

Somebody can help? I would love to order the things after your feedback. Thanks

I now ordered this:

• 2x ESP32: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005001929935550.html
• 1x 5m SK6812 RGBCW: https://aliexpress.com/item/32476317187.htm

What's still on my list:

• 1x Mean Well 5V 15A 75W: https://www.ebay.de/itm/232305815935

Did I miss something? The HyperHDR Guide has confused me. Do I need voltage level shifter? Did I buy the wrong ESP? Because they write the CP2102 somehow has too little power to create the right Hertz...?

Nobody?

Currently my AVR is not HDR capable. So it doesn't have to be HyperHDR. I just found HyperHDR's tutorial/overview nicer by far than Hyperion's docs. The hyperion docs are not very beginner friendly in my opinion. I don't find anything about esp32 level shifter or CP2102 in the docs either.

I honestly didn't expect there to be any competition between the two softwares either....

Do you have any recommendation for my hardware for Hyperion?
