  • PLEASE HELP ME

    Do you need help in getting set up? I'm happy to help as much as I can despite the language barrier but I need to understand what you're trying to do.


    Regards

  • Why does my pi doesn't want to the WiFi most of the times

    Hey,


    Are you using a Raspberry Pi 5 by chance? I had issues with imaging the SD card via Hyperbian and using my wifi settings and SSH enabled.


    Instead what I found worked was to install x64 Raspberry OS, then install Hyperion using the easy install at CLI then going from there. I'd recommend giving that a go for the time being to see if we can get you up and running


    Cheers

    Hey again Lord-Grey , yes I've set that up also.


    I can most certainly try, I've never used GitHub before, how would I go about doing this?


    Is it possible for me to just install the latest stable build using the easy install tool?


    Kind regards

    THANK YOU ALL. It's finally working. The issue seemed to be with the latest nightly build. I wiped the OS image and installed a stable build and configured it all again and it's working perfectly now.


    I'll be doing a write up to help people with similar issues and to do a step by step out of thanks to you all and the wider community!


    I've attached a final log and a screenshot of the live video now coming through. Might be time to give Demon Slayer a re-run!

  • Raspberry Pi 5 WS2812B support and Hyperion tutorial

    Hey again, pclin and Lord-Grey , I tried an alternative device which has it's own DC 5V power as the previous device I had was being powered via the USB port via the PI and I wanted to rule out that that was potentially causing any issues. I'm now seeing this in the live video but when playing any content I can't see it appear in the live video. I've also attached the log. Any thoughts on this? Also, the LEDs when connected don't all light up, you get one turn yellow, then green then white and it does this one by one. I've turned off Hyperion startup effects so I'm not sure why this is happening?


    Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.


    Kind regards

    Hi all,


    I've updated to the latest version to rule out any issues caused by version.


    Live video feed is black, indicating that there's no signal being received through the USB capture device at the moment. It's HDCP 2.2 enabled but it's playing from Emby anyways. Not sure what's causing this.


    Appreciate any help again.

  • Raspberry Pi 5 WS2812B support and Hyperion tutorial

    Thank you for your help all. I did follow that documentation prior and so I had the SPI buffer size set, thank you Ambient_theater77, I was able to ensure that was set correctly with your message. I seem to have made some headway now where the LEDs now light up but are a bright white only. I'm seeing that there's voltage drop towards the end (it's a 5m strip but this is the least of my worries right now and I believe easily resolved).


    The issue I'm having now is that the LEDs don't seem to be responding to any changes I make. I'm not sure if the baudrate should be a specific value, I currently have it set to 100000 but I did have it set to what is in the screengrab, I'm not sure whether that's correct or not.


    I've also configured the grabber, I have my firestick going into a USB HDTV video capture card, usb 3.0 going into the RaspberryPi, which it seems to be reading fine as I can select it as an option in the USB capture settings, still not having any impact on the LEDs.


    I did have the atomic swirl effect set up for Hyperion startup, it'd start off with yellow, green, then white then move on to the next one. I then tried to set it to solid colour of red but it just sticks to white. I've gone back to atomic swirl startup but again it's stuck on the same thing it seems like there's a communication issue or the like. Would appreciate any suggestions or help.


    I'm also finding that the web UI is crashing quite frequently now, is this possibly due to the Raspi not getting enough power now that I've got the USB capture plugged in?


    Thanks again all.

  • Raspberry Pi 5 WS2812B support and Hyperion tutorial

    Hi pclin in the web UI I've set the controller to ws2812spi, there's a few configuration settings I'm not sure about and after referring to the documentation it's not been particularly useful. Again I'm not particularly learned in this so my knowledge is extremely limited.


    SPI device, there are three different options:

    0.0 (/dev/spidev0.0)

    0.1 (/dev/spidev0.1)

    10.0 (/dev/spidev10.0)


    I'm guessing these refer to three different SPI interfaces on the Raspberry PI 5, therefore 3 potentially different GPIO pins? Does it matter which I use or not?


    I've got a jumper cable connected to the GND on the Raspberry PI, connected to the ground of the LED strip going into the power supply.


    I've then got another jumper cable going into the data port on the LED strip connected to GPIO pin 19 for the SPI interface. When I save the configuration on Hyperion the LEDs then light up completely white but if I try and change the effects there seems to be no change, indicating that there's potentially something I'm missing? I'd appreciate any help :) .


    Thanks

    Hi all,


    First post here and am new to the world of raspis and their architecture and getting comfortable with the CLI.


    I spent pretty much the whole of yesterday trying to get this thing up and running and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why it wasn't working. After a while I was able to get Hyperion running as root at which point I thought I'd be able to make some headway. I then ran into some errors and these were the logs that were produced. On further research, it seems that this particular model isn't supported with the known set up methods. I was wondering if anyone could point me to a set up guide that worked for this particular model?


    Thank you all, I appreciate any help and support and am excited to get this up and running!
