Hello all,
First of all thank you for great software and support on hyperion project.
I started following one of official tutorials about raspberry pi 3 + osmc + ws2801 leds, at first trial led strip was working but flickering and setting static color and was at least responding, after first day I decided to make only small cut of a strip work for test. I already checked every thread on both hardware and software support and still can not get it to work.
Here are what I tried so far:
Arduino + Ambibox + windows usb : System works leds changes colors according to screen everything is ok.
RaspberryPi 3 USB + Arduino + Hyperion (over ttyUSB0) : At 112500 rate I can set static colors on leds and can see the changes but when I open a video on kodi led colors does not change.
Raspberry Pi 3 Spi + Hyperion : Which is what official tutorial suggested I can not set anything even static colors. Hyperion seems working leds generally(Sometimes some leds does not light) lights all white nothing changes.
What I did to diagnose the problem:
1st I checked spidev pin, I downloaded spidev_test.c compiled it, short circuted the 19-21 pins and run the test the result shows success according to raspberry pi site
2nd I checked Hyperion, logs show no error and kodi grabber is enabled but nothing changes.
3rd I checked output that Hyperion wrote so I added
"device" :
{
"name" : "MyHyperionConfig",
"type" : "file",
"output" : "/tmp/file.txt",
"rate" : 1000000,
"colorOrder" : "rbg"
},
to my config and checked if it writes anything to the file and the result was that it wrote to file according to my changes on color wheel.
4th I installed fresh osmc on another raspberry pi 1 and tested again no changes on leds.
I tried various "Baudrate" values and Grabber combinations and still nothing changes. I have nothing left to try now my last hope is this thread I attached my latest config file and here is Hyperion logs after sending and restarting:
