Delay with RPi 4 + Arduino + W2812B + USB grabber

  • Hi everyone,


    I have the usual LED update "delay" issue of about 0.5-1s that I cannot resolve, even after reading many similar posts.


    Setup

    • Hyperion 2.0.15
    • RPi 4 Model B 4GB
    • Arduino nano clone with adalight
    • W2812B LED strip
    • MacroSilicone USB video capture


    Config

    LED Output:

    • Baudrate: 115200 -- tried to increase it, but none of the other options worked at all
    • Latch time: 30 ms
    • Refresh time: 1000 ms
    • Smoothing: off


    Capturing:

    • Encoding format: MJPEG
    • Resolution: 720x480
    • Frames per second: 30
    • Software frame skipping: 0
    • Size decimation: 8


    With these settings, the CPU usage is <10% on all cores. I had an older version of Hyperion+adalight installed on the same hardware and it was smooth with the default settings, so it must be capable of handling it. I tried changing the above settings in (I believe) every way around, but could not get it working without delays.


    Any tips are highly appreciated.


    Thanks in advance,

    Szabolcs

  • W2812B LED strip requires a baud rate of 800,000, which doesn't work with Arduino nano; at 112,500 there is a delay.

    Operate Ws2812 e.g. on RPI or ESP.
