    To anyone wondering what happened, turns out the grabber itself was working fine and was mounted to /dev/video0. The reason the LEDs weren't reacting to any image was because of a setting in Hyperion. On the grabber tab, I had to change the image format to NTSC instead of PAL. The PAL setting was causing the Hyperion software to freeze when taking a grabber screenshot. After changing the setting and re-uploading the configuration, I was able to take grabber screenshots and adjust the crop of the screen to figure out the direction the LEDs must be placed.

    Hello,


    I have a "Easier Cap" utv007 chipset usb video grabber plugged into my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. If I type in lsusb, it's listed as ID 1b71:3002. The problem here is the device is called /dev/v4l instead of /dev/video0. I tried changing the device in Hyperion to the actual name of the device, but it still wouldn't load. Is there a way I can either get hyperion to work with /dev/v4l or a way I can make the device mount to /dev/video0?


    Thanks ahead of time,


    Noah

    I got the LEDs to react to the phone app!! It's amazing! Now, I just need help getting them to react to either the internal grabber, or the GrabberV4l2. I can't seem to get either working, it still displays a grey screen when I "take a grabber screenshot" when trying to use the internal.


    Then when I select the Grabber V4I2, the LEDs won't react at all.


    Thanks again for the help!


    I'm trying to start with the internal grabber. When I try to take a grabber screenshot... it takes forever to load and never shows the screenshot. Any news on this?

    great, the wago and the wires was maybe to long so the data get lost...


    so and now install hyperion with this please

    mh looks like your spi pins are damaged...


    I don't like the sound of that.. :(


    I followed this guide with the same result.


    Is there anyway it could be the cables or Wago connector I'm using?


    I also have that plugs in to the GPIO on the board. After the driver is configured, it works perfectly. Would that rule out that the spi pins are damaged?

    should be ok, just give it a try


    Here are my results and a picture of the connection.




    EDIT: I realize now that the connections are in pin 19 and 23, which would be the reason for the Loopback test not showing anything.. But would that be the reason this isn't working? The video and tutorial on here that I have referenced had the cables connect to pins 19 and 23..


    I will attempt the loopback test again with the cables plugged into the correct pins (19 and 21) later tonight.

    just the loopback test, there you can see if the pins are working correct


    Okay that makes more sense. It looks like it wants a wire between pin 19 and pin 21. I don't have female to female jumper wire so would it work if I run two cables (each with the male jumper connector stripped) through one of the Wago Connectors I have linked to in my original post?

    I freshly installed the Raspbian Jessie with Pixel image from here. So far no luck with just the image. I'm a bit confused with the spi-test part..


    This is setup so far to use an internal grabber, so I don't have the rest of the rig plugged in, just the Pi and the LEDs. I tried to take a screenshot of what the grabber was displaying but it only turned out to be grey.

    personal experience: can you try it first with raspbian, and if its not working on raspbian please do the spi-test
    https://www.raspberrypi.org/do…README.md#troubleshooting


    Thanks for the reply!


    I actually originally had Raspbian installed but it did not work. I installed OSMC because that's what the guide that I linked to was setting up. I will try again with Raspbian and run the spi-test when I'm home in about five hours.

    Hello!


    Thanks for any help you might be able to provide me.


    I'm fairly new to the Raspberry Pi and very new to working with LEDs and electrical wiring like this. My girlfriend actually bought me the parts for this project for Christmas, but I haven't been able to get it working. I've looked through the tutorial posted here. I have also used the YouTube video made by GreatScott as a guide for myself.


    I have everything wired up behind the TV, OSMC installed on my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, and Hyperion configured to match my setup. My problem is when I finally get the config sent over to the Pi through SSH and select Start the LEDs don't react - nothing happens.



    I have this setup to use my Chromecast as the display (thus why all the extra hardware) that the LEDs will react to. Of course I have tried this with the internal display grabber to no avail as well.


    I have everything already setup and hooked up (I think correctly). I used the extra jumper cables to solder the LEDs together as well as hooked them up into the DC adapter to power the LEDs (not sure if that is where I went wrong?)


    The wiring is hooked up as the tutorial shows:


    I don't receive any errors from the SSH log in Hyperion when I send the config or set it up at all.


    I hope this information is enough to help me figure out why my LEDs won't turn on when I select Start in Hyperion.
