  • HELP!!! 276 LEDS not responding

    Is this rainbow-colored box to the right of Hypercon suppose to be showing what the USB grabber is seeing? Also, is it supposed to just start flashing lights once it's started. I realize every video I've seen on this never actually starts hyperion once completed, they just say "well that's it, everything should work" and jump to it already working. How is actually supposed to start?

  • HELP!!! 276 LEDS not responding

    Here is my hyperion config:


  • HELP!!! 276 LEDS not responding

    This is the Arduino sketch I'm using (by the way, I added that file above before I figured out how to do this):


  • HELP!!! 276 LEDS not responding

    Okay. So I've been trying for about a week to get my 276 LEDS to do something...anything...other than a startup effect. Below are my hardware specs:


    WS2812B (276 LEDS)
    RPi3 w/ latest OSMC installed
    Arduino nano (Data pin 10, GRD)
    EasyCap USB grabber (UT007)
    GANA HDMI2AVI adapter
    Sewell Echo Splitter w/ downscaling
    Alitove 5V 10A PSU
    65" TCL 4K S405


    I should mention that I am a noob at this, although I am a computer technician with knowledge of Linux and some programming. I am also aware that there is an issue with 4K HDR signal capture, which I wish was my only issue, as I have seen some work-arounds and I could always just not use HDR until a viable solution is found.


    Now for my issue. All that I have been able to produce are start up effects. When my hyperion is started or the Arduino is powered on my LEDs turn green, red, then blue which was specified in the Arduino sketch. I was using a sketch that required understanding of the "prefix" needed, but later discovered a sketch that didn't use it at all, which at least allow me to actually start Hyperion. I am not sure if my USB grabber is correctly grabbing images, as I am not sure how to test it. It is recognized by the raspberry pi, which i was able to verify with "lsusb". The app does connect to the server and I do see the commands executed in the RPi terminal, but the LED do not respond. I've attached my sketch below.


    All I can do is stop hyperion, start hyperion and watch these Green, Red, and Blues. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

  • More than 255 leds?

  • More than 255 leds?

    I've since uploaded this config file and I'm not getting that error anymore, but my LEDs still are not responding to anything besides the startup test.


    So whenever I start Hyperion, it blink green, red, and blue, but nothing else. It does not respond to the app at all and I don't know how to check the USB grabber.


    It says that it's connected to the server. The log registers the command, but nothing happens.

  • Hardware for first Hyperion, Advice needed

    I'm glad I ran into this post. I've been trouble getting my setup to work.


    Hardware:
    65" 4K TV
    WS2812B = 276 (corners folded)
    Arduino Nano
    5V 10A PSU
    RPi3
    HDMI 4K splitter w/ downscaling
    USB Grabber (UT007)
    HDMI2AVI


    The start sequence runs fine, but I'm not getting anything else. Everytime I start Hyperion the start sequence runs, but it doesn't respond to the app or hdmi capture. I also suspect it's not grabbing images. I'm not sure how to check if the USB grabber is working, but I suspect that I may insufficient power.


    If anyone has any tips on how to check my USB grabber I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm also gonna have to figure out how to solder to use a 5V 20A PSU.

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

    Okay so I'm completely stuck. My hyperion seems to be failing.


    Hardware:
    WS2812B (276)
    Arduino Nano (data pin 10, grd)
    Raspberry Pi 3
    USB video grabber (UT007)
    HDMI2AVI adapter
    5V 10A A/C adapter


    When I turn on my nano the LEDs turns on clockwise and that's it. So I know the LEDs are working.


    Can someone tell me how to upload my Log files
