    My setup:
    Raspberry Pi 1 Model B, powered by micro usb
    WS2801 - 114 LEDs + 5V 8A power supply
    Level shifter


    As so many people I also have the problem of randomly occurring flickering (only when using the framegrabber, no flashes when playing with the effects).
    As you see above I have already added a level shifter to my setup hoping it would fix the problem.
    But it changed nothing.


    I then found another post where one user stated he solved the problem by changing the Baudrate.
    I went as low as 50,000 - no more flickering. As soon as I go up do >100,000 the flashes are back again.


    Can anyone tell me whats the problem in my case? Is my Raspi not capable enough?


    Thanks for your help!
