    Could you help me with these points:


    GPIO10 SPI controller WS2812


    - Are you talking about gpis in raspberry? I have nothing connected to other gpio. only GPIO18

    Then you have to run Hyperion.NG under root and switch off audio in config.txt

    Ledcontroller to use is ws281x

    Turn off white algorithm


    extending the SPI buffer is not necessary when running on GPIO18 and PWM ws281x ledcontroller

    they will draw approximately on 100 brightness a maximum of 15Amps


    You can run them on 2 ledcontrollers buikd in Hyperion.NG

    GPIO18 PWM controller WS281x

    Run Hyperion under root privileges


    GPIO10 SPI controller WS2812

    More then 255 leds, extend SPI buffer in cmd line


    make sure u use a common GND for ledstrip/pi/PSU


    Settings correct in ledcontroller setup? Uncheck the white algorithm function

    1. 60l/m is suffient but try it out is my advice if you want to know, it's realllllyyyy bright and takes away the TV 📺 image 😉


    2. Use the same PSU, at full (white) brightness it will draw a max around 38/40Amps. 50Amps so 250watts >>> Meanwell type is what you can order, with this you can power the Raspi also...

    Don't cut the strip but leave it in one piece if possible, import 5v and GND in 4 points. Divide by 4. Beginning, end and 2 more middle points.

    Use the already soldered points 👉 to injection power.



    3. No, the current will flow from different injection power points/joints to GND so that's not a problem.

    Use fuses in tour build, especially with 144l/mtr builds.

    If you decide and go for 60l/mtr then you need a 20 Amps PSU on 5 volts ofcourse


    Goodluck!

    Ps you can see my build how I did it with 5 mtr of HD107S leds 60l/mtr.

    Brightness 🌞 is more than enough on Samsung 4ktv 65" approximately 3" from the wall..

    Yeah,


    HDR and Hyperion.NG don't work together, you have to switch of HDR when using Hyperion.NG.


    HDR uses colourpallettes which Hyperion.NG doesn't understand. So that's the black and white explanation.

    Your grabber is fine


    there is a fork though HyperHDR which is alternated Hyperion.NG and can cope with HDR.


    But no helpdesk on this forum.

    probably a HDCP problem, for this I used a HDCP compliant splitter on output 1 of my Denon AVR


    Look also in (expert) settings of Hyperion.NG at grabber section tab, resolution not higher than 720p and 25FPS. Decimation at maximum of 2 or 3. Not 0


    Goodluck

    you selected WS2801 as ledcontroller and that's a SPI controller. For GPIO18 you need WS281x ledcontroller on PWM. To run on PWM you need to run Hyperion.NG in root and deactivate audio in config.txt



    Or you can run it by GPIO10 on SPI ledcontroller WS2812


    For specific settings search on the forum

    the resistor of 100R (in that ballpark) prevents the lights to be floating.


    No signal to the lights and flickering? then you need resistor for PWM. The resistor is also used to prevent the first led having to much current flowing tru it, and burns

    yes because it's DC voltage it doesn't matter, and you won't have a potential difference/voltage drop at the end.

    Mostly after 150 leds you have to power in 2 or threefold points on the strip.


    I don't know what the problem is with the flickering, it only happens with switch the PSU?

    I suspect 🤨 the CPU, I only use Meanwell.


    A led strip is really sensitive for faulty DC, measure AC must be 0 !! If you measure AC then rectifier isn't good...



    Goodluck

    it doesn't but colours is more vibrant.


    For reference: I have 300 leds type HD107S and at full brightness they use a maximum of 14A included the Raspi.

    And yes I powered from both sides because of fading and yellowing colours


    it's actually 3 points, begin middle and end.
