ive just remedied this problem by following drzzzs 2020 video. he gives a couple of instructions that failed because im using hyperbian and hes explaining how to install hyperion on raspibian but in the end i believe the instruction that enable pwn control to hyperion are
sudo systemctl disable --now hyperiond@pi
failed for me but
sudo systemctl enable --hyperiond@root
this almost instantly turned on my leds as i had spent lots of time making sure it was all set up in hyperion. But now i have an issue of reveresed green and red colours. but the mentioned byte order isnt available
