I use a Pi Zero with ws2812b, with an arduino nano over USB. That works flawlessly.
I had no luck on the direct connection either, if I recall right.
Oh that’s an interesting idea. How are you using the raspberry pi and arduino? Is the pi interfacing with the arduino and the arduino controlling the LED?
Based on my testing, this is not compatible with raspberry pi zero w and ws2812b leds.
Bump ^ haven’t had any luck with LED illumination. Works fine with fastLED and a Bluetooth controller from China.
use it with spi
Soldered LED data line to GPIO 19 (pin 35) and had no luck with that config. Any other suggestions? I get no errors when starting Hyperion, just no lighting. 
Alles anzeigentry it with
"device" :
{
"name" : "MyHyperionConfig",
"type" : "ws2812spi",
"gpio" : 19,
"colorOrder" : "grb",
"dmanum" : 5,
"leds" : 107
},
I'm not currently using SPI interface, I've got it setup on pin 12 for GPIO 18. Should I use GPIO 19 instead then?
I've got everything configured on a raspberrypi zero w and using WS2812B. I've got it connected to GPIO 18 and am using an external power source. Lights work fine when testing through python scripts, however, I can't seem to get them to work with Hyperion. Here's my config: (I've also tested with dmanum at 10.)
I've been at this for quite some time, so hopefully some more eyes on my setup may help. I am able to take a screenshot of the grabber in hypercon, so the grabber is working well.
