I'll re-solder it and report back! Thx!

I have a set of LEDs that stop working, after a while I need to touch one of the connectors coming from the PSU to the LED strip so they can start working, I assume I'm being used as ground when I touch it and it is making the LEDs light up again but not 100% sure how to correct this behavior. When this happens the lights would be fine for 30 mins or so then they will just freeze until I touch that connector again.

My wiring componensts consist of a PSU, Pi3 and the LED strip.

The PSU is powering the Pi3 and LEDs and I'm using the Pi to send the signal to the LEDs using GPIO 18.

Has anyone experience this issue before?

What do you get when you issue the command hostname -I

or ip a

?

LosArtigah · Apr 9th 2024

Hi There!

I haven't play around with this setting but it looks like you can blacklist LEDs from this setting:

I wonder if your service is not running as root and that is causing this issue.

What do you get if you run this command:

top |grep hyperion

if I may add something else besides this error: `SPI rate 5000000 outside recommended range`

You mentioned that you have a 5V 10 amp PSU for the LED strips but according to your settings that will require about 18 amps.

I recently came accross an issue because I was not supplying enough juice =/

I'm using a Pi 1b model, with WS2812B LEDs. Working fine!

How come your live view is so HD like? isn't that putting more stress on your Pi?

My view looks like minecraft / pixelated but that seems enough to make it work, I am using a Pi 1 though -=/

Besides the suggestion above from pclin, I would check the voltage, I recently had so many issues and it ended up being my PSU dropping to 3.2 volts.

LosArtigah · Feb 28th 2024

I'm still new here but it sounds like it could be a power issue.

How is your wiring setup? That could probably help.

Thanks for the info pclin, I must admit I haven't been thinkering with my box for a while until this past week that my old pi finally gave up.

djsaul In that case I would suggest also trying the user account above

LosArtigah · Feb 23rd 2024

"When i would try to access the pis the it wouild ask for a password. No login user, just password."
if you are using terminal from your Mac and you are not specifying the username, it will assume you are tying to use the username of the current session, you need to specify the username which I assume it is "pi"

from command line try: ssh pi@IP_address_of_your_pi

The default password is ussually raspberry unless you changed it.

Thanks for the info Lord-Grey!

I backed up the config last night, one last question, Do you know if there is a setting from hyperion to restart the service or reboot the raspberry-pi a few times a day?

Sometimes I run into an issue where I turn off the TV + Apple TV and the lights stay sort of waiting for input and it doesn't clear unless I manually reboot the pi.

LosArtigah · Feb 12th 2024

Hi everyone,

Do you think I could run into any issues if I upgrade from 2.0.0-alpha.8 to the latest version?

is this something I should do gradually

Thanks for any advise!

Hey Fuxi,
Did you try lowering your Capture Device Resolution to 640x480?
Maybe that can help.

LosArtigah · Nov 21st 2020

I wish I could have the answer for you. How is the power wired in the Pi and LEDs?
Why if you turn off the Pi you still sending power to the LEDs?

LosArtigah · Nov 20th 2020

Hey Tyler,
I'm running the same Hyperion version with a Rpi1 and I'm able to shut down the LEDs just by putting the Apple TV to sleep or when the Apple TV goes to sleep by itself it also disconnects the LEDs automatically.
Hope this helps!

LosArtigah · Nov 19th 2020

I was having the same issue.
Make sure you have enough power for your Pi and LEDs.
I also noticed that under the capture configuration I had to enter the source device path (/dev/video0) instead of "automatic"

-Los

LosArtigah · Nov 17th 2020

It is working OK after setting up the new power supply.
thx!

LosArtigah · Nov 16th 2020

Probably there is an issue with my capture card. I'm having issues capturing the video again and I have the same config.
It just stopped working :facepalm:
I forgot to mention that according to the "LED preview window" I needed 18A to power my LEDs correctly so I'm getting a new PSU today.
This is my log:

Can someone help me see if there is a problem based on this?
