  • RPi3 + WS2812b + ESP8266

    thanks TP
    ng is not really a thing for me since i want to keep it simple and safe for the first.
    i decided to use scilors sketch with my ESP8266. It works quite good.


    But it didn't worked until i found out that i don't need two hyperion instances for what i wanted to do...
    took me some time to get...
    now i ll spend my time tweakin everything to my needs :D

    Forgive me, to me that reads as "I've just started. Well you do it for me?"


    I will forgive you...;) in my case diy also means combining different things and make something that is more fancy. the risk in this is that you will constantly break something and you ll have to find a workaround. in my case that means: i use kodi18 unstable branch + retropie isn't considered to work stable with ws281x same with the pi3 so why should i change the underlying RPi config. i mean even if it works it limits my possibilies in the future. however after i read that your mentioned method is also an 'valid' option from ws281x (https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x) i may try it.


    the reason that i opened the different thread in the hardware section was that i didn't really understood all the other possibilities that exist and thought maybe there is a full guide that also features all the more fancier ways of doing it. so before i start i wanted to pick the best suiting way that fits my needs.

    You have not read the instructions for that test. You need to run it on plain raspbian OS.


    i read the instructions, the problem was that i have no idea where hyperion installs the driver/test-bin.



    Zitat von Akriss

    I read how-to guides and blogs for weeks before buying anything and still needed to read more after my first, second, and sixth build attempts. It's take time and a fair bit of reading on your part to accomplish.


    yeah i realised this :D good thing is this morning i canceled all my weekend plans so i have a lot of time


    thanks :)

  • Hyperion doesn't start not as a service and not manually

    thanks first of all!
    i don't know whether i want to mess around with the configs that much...


    i think i'm going to use my esp8266 to controll the LEDs
    any thoughts on this? --> https://hyperion-project.org/t…pi3-ws2812b-esp8266.3257/


    somewhere on this forum i read that i can simply test the driver 'rpi_ws281x' (https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x) how would i do this if i installed it via the hyperionscript (HyperCon)?

  • RPi3 + WS2812b + ESP8266

    Hi today i started with by hyperion project and it turned out i should have read the guides here before i order stuff :D


    so now i'm sitting on a raspberry pi 3 running the latest version of retropie + Kodi18 rc1 and all that doesn't work well with the WS2812b. more info? look here https://hyperion-project.org/t…ce-and-not-manually.3256/


    Good thing though i have an esp8266 lying around so i can use it to controll the LEDs.


    What can you guys recommend to get this to work?
    i already found these 'official' options:


    https://hyperion-project.org/t…-esp32-for-hyperion.3004/
    https://github.com/hyperion-pr…firmware/arduino/adalight


    plus hundreds of different blog entries using all different and slightly changed arduino sketches...
    https://www.instructables.com/…-Input-Connected-to-Your/
    ...this really confuses me.


    what other options do i have?
    what is the best way to do it in my case?


    by looking at HyperCon/Hardware/Device/Type i can find all sorts of possible ways to do it.
    still i have no idea what they mean and/or how they work (USB/USB new-imp/SEDU/ADALIGHT/USBASP-WS2812)


    Thank for any ideas :)

  • Hyperion doesn't start not as a service and not manually

    okay so after repeating the process it hangs a little later...


    sudo journalctl -u hyperion:


    eveything else stayed the same (config and the wierd behavoir when starting it manually)


    Oh and by the way: I'm running Kodi 18 rc1 but from the unstable branch cause i needed the beta to run netflix.
    And just in case it is important i use WS2812b

  • Hyperion doesn't start not as a service and not manually

    Hi i'm trying to get hyperion to run
    on a raspberry pi 3
    running latest retropie.


    after doing everything as discriped in the Tutorials + HyperCon Guide Hyperion won't start correctly... it fails.
    it seems like there is a problem with the Frame Grabber cause on initialisation it exits like this:


    Code
    Dec 07 16:37:43 retropie hyperiond[326]: INFO: Frame grabber created and started
Dec 07 16:37:43 retropie systemd[1]: hyperion.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=11/SEGV
Dec 07 16:37:43 retropie systemd[1]: hyperion.service: Unit entered failed state.
Dec 07 16:37:43 retropie systemd[1]: hyperion.service: Failed with result 'signal'.


    here is some more info:


    hyperion.config.json


    sudo journalctl -u hyperion:


    when i run 'sudo hyperiond /etc/hyperion/hyperion.config.json'


    when i ctrl+c i get:

    Code
    ^CINFO: Application closed with code 0
KODICHECK INFO: Kodi Disconnected
EFFECTENGINE INFO: Cleaning up Python interpreter
Shutdown WS281x PWM and DMA channel
Segmentation fault


    the fun thing is... after hitting ctrl+c all the leds light up in something like a white color (could be also very light blue) (is that the standart kodi menu color?)


    I'll provide everything you guys need


    i hope you can help me somehow
    thx
