Yes - Common ground is wired.
Thank you for the spec sheet on the SK6812. I see the 800MHZ statement.
I've been enjoying light show using the ws281x config that I'm pretty content just leaving it where it is. It's a pain to take down the TV from the wall. Any reason I should move to using the SK6812 config. Does it matter?
Hello Team,
I would like to thank Lightning-guy77 help so far. I think I'm nearly complete. I'm using a SK6812 and I can run the hyperion setup perfectly when using it in ws281x (with GPIO18).
ws281x config -> https://pastebin.com/SayvtUAZ
However when trying this in SK6812spi config (changing to GPIO 10) the light strip flickers every 5-10 seconds. Even when I pause the screen on single frame it still flicks. I've tried to various Baudrate setting from 3000000 to 6000000 and the flicker is faster as the baudrate increases but does not go away.

I'm ok continuing to use ws281x PWM with the RGBW mode. I don't know what I'm loosing not using the SK6812spi mode.
Thank you for advice ahead of time.
this issue is resolved
Thank you Lightning-guy77 I was able to get past this error.
I was using the wrong SPI (SPI 0.1) just do to trying random things to get past this error. The fix was when I updated the cmdline.txt with spidev.bufsiz=1024000
Thank you so much
I have a raspberry pi 4 with the newest Hyperion (hyperion/stable,now 2.0.12~bullseye) release. I have installed an LED SK6812 strip on the TV and have everything setup as instructed in various tutorial. However the LED strip does not light up and I see this error repeating rapidly in the logs
SPI failed to write. errno: 90, Message too long

I searched google for a while and can't seem to figure out how to address. Thank you for helping.
