Hello everyone,
I hope that my request for help is in the right place here. I just started working with the Raspberry Pi and Hyperion. I realy love the idea of Hyperion!
My big goal is to make one day my own ambient light for my big 100 inch screen. But for now I want to start with somthing smaller.
I have successfully managed to get a decent ambient light with my APA102 rgb strip running for my second monitor, 24 inch, with my 10 year old Raspberry Pi 1 Model B (armhf) as you can see in the attached picture and this experience was amazing!
Now I bought a new Pi 5 and have actually done everything exactly the same as with the Pi 1. Everything is wired and plugged in the same way as before. I wire the SDI (DI) connection of the APA102 to Physical Pin 19 (MOSI) and also the CKI (CI) connection to Physical Pin 23 (SCLK) on the Raspberry Pi. I installed the arm64 Hyperbian operating system and also made all the necessary settings, such as setting the root user for Hyperion and activating SPI on the Pi.
However - and I am slowly reaching the end of my own knowledge and patience after almost 100 hours - I have checked everything 1,000 times and the LEDs should actually work.... BUT this is not the case........
I would really appreciate your support.
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
Your Entertain
