So my first link was the right one.
no, i think you had to much fightclub :roflmao::D
thanks for all of your help! I really appreciate it.
I'm going to try with this RPi dedicated PSU I ordered, if that doesnt work I'll send it back and order the meanwell.
no problem, its also possible to use a ATX PSU from a computer. They deliver a solid DC in 3.3 / 5.0 / 12 volts.
but they are big and huge, thats why most people go for a much smaller ( but still as good) Meanwell PSU
So I powered the Pi directly by the pins and the undervoltage got worse. So far the best setup has been the 4-port 4.8A brick with only the Pi hooked to it, 2 ground pins tied into my main PSU, and a seperate brick powering the HDMI grabber. It worked for a solid 20 mins with that setup. This is the most frustrating thing. It makes zero sense to me that the under voltage problem would be worse powering from my 5V/15A PSU than the smart phone charger. I guess I'll try when the new charger gets here after that I give up.
by the looks of it your powerbrick from Amazon seems to be the culpable here, it makes no scence to me.
use a new type power>> go please for a meanwell PSU and leave this thing....... Pi's and grabbers hate AC rimples on cheap and bad PSU.
also a smartphonecharger with USB-C has often a not really good rectifyer in it.
Meanwell PSU have a really good power/evenly and electronicly protected clean DC
So what i would do in this case;
Buy a Meanwell PSU, and.... use only the Meanwell to power the first part of your setup. Don't use that thing ( powerbrick) anymore that you purchased on Amazon please) for your Hyperion.NG setup Pi and grabber :classy::)
then connect the grabber to the USB port of the RPI
goodluck man
thanks,
i hope you enjoy the ambilight much like me !
Should I power via the pins then instead? sounds like USB-C is a hassle for this project, or maybe I should order a Pi3 instead and repurpose this Pi4 elsewhere?
what you can do is just test the PI with his own separate smartcharger, then connect at least two GND pins from the PI to the second PSU GND to stabilize.
then your ambilight system should work on a PI4.
if this doesn't work, then you can power the RPI4 power pins directly, this way you evade the internal powercircuit IN the RPI4.
remind you; Its on your own risk and craft
RPI3 is other resource to go at, its your decision.
common, its there >> Xolorspace
source>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C
USB-C devices may optionally provide or consume bus power currents of 1.5 A and 3.0 A (at 5 V) in addition to baseline bus power provision; power sources can either advertise increased USB current through the configuration channel, or they can implement the full USB Power Delivery specification using both BMC-coded configuration line and legacy BFSK-coded VBUS line.[6][11]
Connecting an older device to a host with a USB-C receptacle requires a cable or adapter with a USB-A or USB-B plug or receptacle on one end and a USB-C plug on the other end. Legacy adapters (i.e. adapters with a USB-A or USB-B plug) with a USB-C receptacle are "not defined or allowed" by the specification because they can create "many invalid and potentially unsafe" cable combinations.[14]
See my link under my text
i have a RP4 then i have 3.0 USB
tomorrow i say you the score.
because your hardware message in profile says RPI3 :D:pirate:
Isn't that output spec to do with the USB output rather than the HDMI pass through?
yes i was thinking that also, and maybe you are right. The specs is not really clear its not determent how much resolution is HDMI out
but then you have only maximum of 4k 30Hz
Because its a Pi4 it has the USB-C plug and making a sacrificial cable to tie into my PSU didn't work at all the Pi wouldn't boot
the reason is because of smart USB-C port > it has technology in it which recognizes a fast or slow charger ( it communicates with charger how much it can draw) . If you connect a normal PSU to a USB-C connector it can not deliver the same amps ( power) then when connected to for instance a smart charger from your smartphone.
normally i would say that powering everything from one PSU is the way to go, but in this case NOT.
i will bet you if you connect the USB-C port directly to a smartphone smartcharger that is capable of at least 1,5 Amps AND >>>> connect one or two GND pins from the RPI4 to your PSU brick the PI will boot and the undervoltage is gone.
second way te resolve this is powering the +5 volt pin and GND pin on the PI directly from your PSU powerbrick.
although it can work option 2 i will try option 1 first.
if you look at the specifications then you see this;

so no, if you want to have 4K signal from this device to your tv then this is not the device for you.
you have to make the call on that, but it looks okay.
reminder; the device can be slower in performing because off the limitations of the RPI3 >> this has only support for USB 2.0 ports/speed while your Amazon 4K splitter is asking for 3.0 USB ports/speed.
while it can work the device can not run in optimal form ( as in 3.0 USB port) so you can expect trouble when playing 4K.
i don't know this for shure but because this is a loop" device the main HDMI signal is going out to the 65" 4K TV
the only thing i am wondering if the device is capable to loop the 4K signal without quality loss ( i think not) on 60Hz when its connected to a RPI3 USB port which grabs the image on a slower port....
just test and you will see.
Prima! Nu werkt hij al een uurtje
dat is vreemd, heb je ergens een draadbreuk ofzo of is er iets anders aan de hand :classy:
heeft niets geholpen. na ongeveer 10 min valt hij uit en als ik hem terug opzet is er sneeuw.:mad:
kan je eens als hij uitgevallen is een debug-log posten hier? misschien kan je in Hyperion zien waarom en hoe ie uitvalt.
Even kijken in mijn lijst met antwoorden, er was laatst een topic ook met USB grabber problemen. Staat uitgebreid beschreven wat je kan doen.
Het zal waarschijnlijk een power probleem zijn op USB
