    Everything can be calculated here.


    thats a good way but in reality the ledstrip type smd5050 isn't using that much current, in my calculations and what i see on the ampéremeter is the total draw not exceeding 11Amps > 10.3 Amps without the Raspi


    my setup:


    -HD107s ledstrip

    -amount leds: 260

    -temp: 20c

    -cable lenght: 100cm

    -wire: 2 x 1,5mm2

    -wire on surface

    -brightness 100%

    -voltage drop almost nothing

    -PSU: meanwell LRS-100-5

    Thanks first for your answer.


    we hear it from you when you need extra info :thumbup:


    pclin


    running before on 90% brightness

    just tested at full brightness in white colour>> 14Amps, minus RAspi thats about 13,2Amps at 5 volts + Rullz loop grabber


    i put a powerline +5v and GND in between the strip now (at led 130) for better power comsumption. :thumbup:

    Another thing I noticed is that the wires I used are less thick than those of the LEDs, is that a problem? I bought the first cables I saw on amazon, so I don't know if I had to be careful about anything.

    the more current the ledstrip is consuming the thicker the wire gauge has to be. Before i had only 2x0,75mm2 ( speakercable) for only 130 leds.

    this was sufficient for only 5 Amps maxixum on 5.3 volts




    now..... i did a upgrade to 260 leds

    i am using 2x1,5mm2 VMVL electracable to the ledstrip, 2 cables to be exact ( together 3mm2 diameter)

    10Amps is a lot of current so you can't use gauges thats less than the ledstrip.


    On the ledstrip you have a 4 wire and two wire, (red /white)

    for extra current you need to combine the 2 GND and +5volts on the outside together. >> see voltage adding in illustration



    i found this scheme to mount the level shifter and a PS and I just have a question.

    this schedule is fine, just connect it this way and it will work.


    the diffrence between the LV (low) and HV ( high) on the level shifter will tell him what the increase of datastream current should be.

    the yellow data itself is the increase of dataflow to the ledstrip.


    there is only 1 GND or common ground, this is just a stabilisation in the polarity


    About the PSU, for me the brightness right now is fine but I would buy it if I need it to solve the flickering problem.

    flickering can be


    -baudrates

    -not enough power voltage

    -not enough current

    -ledstrip not powered from both sides ( beginning and end) separate GND and +5volts

    -datapin of ESP can't hack it >> need levelshifter

    -gauge of used wires to thin!

    -No or bad common GND

    and maybe more...



    AND YES YOU NEED A PSU FOR THIS TO WORK WELL> :thumbup:

    For your knowledge:


    I have 260 HD107s leds and at 95% brightness they consume 10.3 Amps on 5.3 volts.


    You need a PSU that can deliver at least 75watt


    So to answer your questions; no you can’t with only 1 or 2 amps :( =O


    Buy Meanwell LRS types of PSU I recommend

    take a look here, there's a lot info there


    check the USB driver on Windows, and settings.


    The USB COMport has to be visible when setting up the DMX connection. is it?




    Brother is my copymachine, just for example


    i didn't test with DMX protocol so this is the only help i can provide..

    a lot of questions but maybe you can have some idea from my setup at the moment.


    There's a few things in this schematics that is diffrent than yours.


    Is it possible to keep my HDMI cable from the MAIN out of the AVR connected to the "TV in" and have a secong HDMI cable from the "SUB out" to a (cheap ^^ ) video capture card that would be connected to the RPI 3B (HDCP 2.2 is supported on HDMI Input 3 and Main Out only) ?

    maybe if you can use the setting MAIN monitor and copy it to the SUB channel.

    but no guaranties it will work .


    I don't have a 4k receiver ( yet) but i know there's a option > in my Onkyo Txnr1007 you can copy the MAIN and SUB HDMI channel so the output images on both is the same.

    No problems with HDCP because it has none and maximum output of 1080P per channel.



    hopes this helps you ..


    note: the HDMI audio extractor in this picture is not necessary

    The PC and Raspi do not receive anything from the TV .....

    They did because your leds light up when you tested the connection from Hyperion screen grabber to the Raspi/PC devices...


    The only problem is that the grabber itself on the TV (Sony) doesn't seem to connect to the server.

    Thatswhy I said that the signal, hence: from Raspi or PC (flat or proto Server) cannot connect to the TV or the hyperion screen grabber doesn't seem to grab the image but only do the test sequence?


    I don't know if the server port (proto 19445) only receive or also send packets to the TV to "listen" if something is there...


    You have to ask developer Lord-Grey then :)


    Which number of door should I open on the router?

    I think you did that already


    and you can put your log here, set Hyperion.NG on Advanced user settings.


    Then go to log and select Debug, reboot and copy/paste the debug log with Pastebin or directly here.


    goodluck!

    I put Hyperion Grab on an Android TV Sony and finds the server perfectly ... when I push the test ... the LEDs shine ...


    The problem is that the server does not detect the capture of the Android TV screen.

    On Hyperion it appears "there are no devices"


    So, to recap.


    from the Hyperion screen grabber installed on tv you send protocols to Hyperion.NG ports on PC or Raspi but the ethernetport on tv doesn't like to receive back anything?


    have you checked the TV's build in ethernetadapter and reset it or make the IP adress static instead of DHCP or just the other way around?

    sometimes routers like it to have DHCP IP adresses leased to devices, but the devices need to have the same IP leased always.

    you can do that with binding the MAC to the DHCP IP adress.


    Sometimes also it helps when the DHCP protocols is not working properly ( cheap routers) of making the IP adress STATIC, so you are the one creating the IP change into the device.

    it depends on routers what they like, also be aware that the Raspi is default receiving DHCP, you can make it static by BIND option.


    you can try this first because i have a feeling it has something to do with the network.


    port 21 ????? 21 usually is for ftp

    no its just an example, i have a Filezilla FTP server

    How do I get the picture from Windows11 to the RasPi so that the LEDs light up accordingly?



    you can use the hint of pclin and buy extra minicontroller ESP, and therefore not using the Raspi anymore.





    or you can also do it ( like i did to test before)


    install this on Windows11 >> https://sabaatworld.github.io/HyperionScreenCap/


    then set the ports in settings the same, standard i used the 19445 ( PROTOBUFFER)

    looks like this >>


    are you sure you are using the same prefix in your network? ( LAN)

    have you binded the DHCP Ip adresses to MAC adresses in your router?


    like the TV is 192.168.1.2

    so the rest have to be in same range like 192.168.1.3~ 192.168.1.254



    think of this also, you can open ports and reroute ports to ip adresses.

    seems to me that the router is preventing ports ( protocols) to be broadcasted over the network or something

    from personal experience, I have the TV 6cm from the wall but with APA102 30l/mtr there is little visible (gap) between the leds. I can rotate and alter the angle but then it's still there at the bottom leds...


    Because the angle is 120 degrees the leds shining is not 100% in angle towards the wall.

    Thatswhy I decided to go for the HD107s 60l/mtr that I ordered now to compensate that little gap, and because the ledstrip is already 2 years old


    So, wall to close to the TV 📺 means you need more leds/mtr
