Thankyou I will take a look

Just tried a dedicated power supply for the capture card and still the same.

Would this have anything to do with it? =/

Ground wires are correct (Multiple grounds) but glad you got yours sorted =)

I'm using a 5v 10A (pic attached)

Powering the capture card from a usb port on the Pi

powering the Pi and LED's from the PSU

If I unplug the wire from GPIO18 the flickering stops and the lights stay on solid . . as soon as I plug it back in they flicker again. But the lights are only white when on USB capture not the colours on the tv so it's almost as if the pi is not getting a signal from the capture card. I do get a picture on the tv through the capture card though.

I have two capture cards and both are the same.

The frustrating thing is that everything did work just fine, the flickering has been a new unwanted addition to the setup.

No still have the issue but currently working my way through the possibilities checking them off one at a time. One thing I have found is that If i pick a static sold colour then there is no flickering at all. But as soon as I go back to the usb/camera the flickering is back. This makes me think that the power / grnds etc are fine and it's an issue on the software side?

All effects aswell as solid colours work fine aswell.

Zitat von Lighting-guy77

settings is okay, set USB device to camera with LOOP capture devices on first/second picture.

Hyperion.NG redetects them the whole time on USB grabber setting , when switched to CAMERA that stops.

Hyperion.NG sees the device as a camera because of the LOOP capturing, probably there's a chip inside which tells the Hyperion.NG software "i am a camera"

I'm having trouble changing the 'device' to camera, I have the input as Camera 1 but the device does not give me the option of 'Camera' . . unless I'm missing something.

Forgive me I'm very new to this. Sorry

Thankyou for the fast reply, I will give these points a try and report back

Hi everyone, I wonder if anybody might be able to help me with this issue. I had the lights working correctly but I would need to power everything on and off multiple times to get my capture card to work correctly (sometimes the lights would show but no picture would appear on the tv). Then I had the issue of flickering lights so I read a previous thread and added a grnd wire between the Pi and LED's which seemed to fixed the issue.
I was annoyed that the capture card would sometimes not show a picture etc so I brought a new capture card to try and fix the issue and now the flickering lights are back.

Spec:

Pi 3 b

5v 10A power supply (running LEDs and Pi)

WS2812B LED's (using 100 total)

old cap card (attached - Y&H card)

new cap card (attached - KeeQii card)

Settings attached and I'm using GPIO18

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks
