  • Migrate from Hyperion to Hyperion NG - multiple instances / different USB Video sources

    I am currently migration from my single Raspberry Pi Setup which got three instances of Hyperion running and get data from 2 different video sources, as it controls the LEDs for two different TVs.

    How can I achieve the same with HyperionNG / HyperBian? I can create multiple LED Hardware, but I can only select one single USB Video source.


    How can I either use multiple sources within one instance or can deploy multiple instances of HyperionNG?

  • Welche LEDs verwendet ihr? - Hyperion LED Controller - Prebuilds

    Hallo zusammen,

    ich würde gerne für meine ESP Software Hyperion LED Controller gerne vorgefertigte Builds anbieten. Da ich FastLED verwende muss ich zum Zeitpunkt der Builds wissen welcher LED Typ unterstützt werden soll.

    Ich würde gerne von euch wissen, welche LEDs ihr nutzt und welche RGB/BGR etc. Konfiguration diese haben. Dann kann ich für diese vorgefertigte Builds anbieten. (Jetzt ist es auch möglich das WLAN über den AP des ESP8266 einzurichten).


    Bisher ist die Liste in der Umfrage ziemlich dünn, daher lasst mich wissen welche fehlen. Natürlich würde ich mich freuen, wenn ihr mich anschließend beim Testen unterstützen würdet.

  • [Tutorial] Wireless LED extension with ESP8266/ESP32 for Hyperion

    Zitat von Supersimo88
    Code
    //OFF, HYPERION_UDP, STATIC_COLOR, RAINBOW, FIRE2012
#define CONFIG_LED_STANDARD_MODE FIRE2012
#define CONFIG_LED_HYPERION_AUTOSWITCH true
#define CONFIG_LED_STANDARD_MODE_TIMEOUT_MS 5000


    1.) which mode should be run, when there is no hyperion connected.
    2) automatically switch to HYPERION mode if hyperion is connected and fall back to standard mode if disconnected
    3) Fallbacktime for 2


    Zitat von mosiris

    I have everything up but monitoring serial port only shows refreshes. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Code
    D:   UDP-Packet received, length: 402
D:   refresh LEDs
D:   UDP-Packet received, length: 402
D:   refresh LEDs


    Thats quite easy. You LED quantity in hyperion (seems to be 402/3=134 leds) is different to the led quantity on the esp.

    Zitat von wars

    Thanks for sharing this tutorial. I'm also planning to install a second apa102 and I would like to control it manually with Hyperion or let it receive the colors of my main leds. I already made a poc with a 2nd pi (zero w) and this is working.
    What are the benefits of using an ESP instead?


    The ESP variant is cheaper and you only need a power supply and no network cable.
    I use it even for my first ambilight, because otherwise you have a long unshielded cable that may be problematic during a thunderstorm. In my case it destroyed my AV/R, my raspberry and my LEDs.

  • [Tutorial] Wireless LED extension with ESP8266/ESP32 for Hyperion

    In 2016 I have started to develop a general wireless extension for Hyperion with a ESP8266. I needed that to put some LEDs under my bed and connect them to my hyperion ambilight.
    Currently I also use it for my normal Ambilights behind my TVs to only have one Raspberry PI with two grabbers and to seperate the LEDs completely from my hifi-equipment, as the LEDs can behave like a big antenna.


    In addition you can control the esp standalone with the hyperion app.


    There already is a german tutorial here.


    Hardware
    You will need an ESP8266 or ESP32. This can be am embedden module on a NodeMCU or LOLIN32, too.
    Obviously you will need some LEDs and a power supply. This should be similar to hyperion, so you should be familiar with that. You can use any LED that is supported within FastLED.


    Software(Hyperion)
    Now it depents. You will need your own Hyperion instance for every Wireless extension you use. If you only have one set of wireless LEDs you can just change the device in the hyperion configuration:


    Code
    {
      "colorOrder" : "rgb",
      "maxpacket" : 1450,
      "name" : "AmbiSZ-ESP8266",
      "output" : "ESP8266:19446", ///ip-address of the esp8266/esp32
      "protocol" : 0,
      "rate" : 250000,
      "type" : "udp"
}


    If you have multple instances of hyperion you will need to forward the grabbers data from the first instance to the others.
    Another example for that is found here.


    The primary instance should be configurated to push the data to other instances. They can be on the same device or a different rapberry

    Code
    "forwarder" :
{
  "proto" : [ "127.0.0.1:20445","192.168.178.88:19445" ],
}


    The recieving instance (I will take the localhost/127.0.0.1 from the list needs a server config:

    Code
    "protoServer" :
{
  "port" : 20445
},


    Software(Arduino)
    Please always check the readme on GitHub.


    To program your esp you will need a working Arduino build environment.
    -Arduino IDE 1.8.5


    Board libs for the esp8266/esp32

    • Start Arduino and open Preferences window.
    • Add the urls below to the Additional Board Manager URLs field. You can add multiple URLs, separating them with commas.
    • Open Boards Manager from Tools > Board menu and find esp8266/esp32 platform.
    • Select the version you need from a drop-down box.
    • Click install button.
    • Don't forget to select your ESP8266/ESP32 board from Tools > Board menu after installation.


    a) esp8266 2.4.1 http://arduino.esp8266.com/sta…age_esp8266com_index.json
    b) for esp32 https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32


    Addition libs

    • Start Arduino and open Preferences window.
    • Open LibraryManager from Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries...
    • Select the version you need from a drop-down box.
    • Click install button.


    a) ArduinoThread 2.1.1
    b) ArduinoJSON 5.12.0
    c) LinkedList 1.2.3
    d) FastLED 3.1.6
    e) Logging https://github.com/SciLor/Arduino-logging-library - install manually: Download zip from github and install via Arduino IDE, Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP Library
    f) ESP32 Webserver https://github.com/nhatuan84/esp32-webserver - install manually (for esp32 only)


    Now you can download my GitHub Repository to a location of you choice and open it via the Arduino IDE:
    https://github.com/SciLor/Hyperion_LED-Controller


    ESP Config

    • Go to the HyperionRGB folder and create a copy of ConfigStatic.h.example. Remove the .example suffix
    • Configure the ConfigStatic.h for your needs:

      • Select your LED chip type. All LEDs of the FastLed libraries are supported
      • Configure the used LED pins. You can also change the Pin Order. The NodeMCU order doesn't work sometimes to please also try the `RAW_PIN_ORDER``
      • Define the number of used LEDs
      • Define one of the standard modes which are active when your light is idle. Choose one from: OFF, HYPERION_UDP, STATIC_COLOR, RAINBOW, FIRE2012
      • You maydefine Wifi configuration but you can also change it from the Webinterface


    • Open the HyperionRGB.ino the Arduino IDE
    • Compile and upload to your board


    Now connect your LEDs and have fun!


    Like my work spread the word.

  • Change colourOrder halfway through device

    Zitat von Brindosch

    Sadly the developer stopped to invest further time in it, a completion may a great addition /FastLED /Wifi AP modus by default to configure the wifi credentials..
    just flash and configure with webinterface :)


    I made some updates. AP Config is about to come. But it is impossible to configure the LED Type an color this way be because FastLed needs this information at compile time.

  • Ambilight with NodeMCU extension

    Great to see my nodemcu code is used. Did you make any changes to it that may be useful for further development of it? I extended it a bit the last days. Maybe I add some effects to be triggered by the hyperion app connected to the nodemcu directly
