Getting SK6812 to work somehow

HI everyone,

i´m fooling around with some sk6812 strips for a few days now, planning to use them as some kind of indirect lighting in my living room. Thought it would be cool to control them with hyperion and home assistant, and maybe also as ambi-light on the ceiling.

I know they are not supported yet, but i thought i should give it a try.
So i got everything working using the "ambilight for every hdmi source" tutorial, got a raspi 3 with raspbian running hyperion, my sk1160 grabber is grabbing pretty good and with the sketch from hyperion.ng the leds react somehow.

I got 210 leds total, but only about 100-120 of them work whith hyperion and the colour behaviour is really weird
They show either white or they light up in completely senseless order of colors

Think it could work with hyperion.ng running if i got this thread right?
I tried to get this running, but i´m pretty new to all of this, so couldn´t make it, would need a little walkthrough here
Or maybe there is another way, just to ignore the white channel and get it to work with rgb in hyperion?

Not really, like i said, this stuff is pretty new to me...but i'm learning
Tried to build using the "how to compile", but got some error at the end.
Gonna try again as soon as i got some more time. But then i'm gonna heed help with the next steps

Its good to hear, that i got it right and it should work with NG

Alright....i´m feeling too stupid for this -.-

Tried to build on my raspberry...
Think i got the dependencies right but when i try to run
"cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .." from the "build" directory i can´t get any further.
Here is the output:

Nope
Again...thanks for your help penfold!
This stuff is not easy to understand if you haven´t done something like this before....but its fun :cool:

Installing libqt5serialport5 did not fix it, got the same error again.
Started all over again, and double checked if all the dependencies got installed....and hyperion is up and running
Just had to sudo the installation of hyperion, without sudo i got an error for some directory that couldn´t be generated.
I´m not sure where my problem was before.

Seems like i´ve been a bit too fast...gotta run hyperion manually from compile directory.
Think i´ll find a way to autostart this on boot somehow, glad its running...it´s playtime now
