Hi there,
I followed the tutorial (Raspberry Pi 3 Mediacenter + Hyperion Ambilight + NO soldering) except I haven't glued the LED Strip to the TV yet. Everything was working perfectly, the LED Strip was on my Desktop and I only turned it on occasionally for testing.
After a few days the LEDs wouldn't turn on again. The Software seems to be OK. The deamon is running and I can't find any error messages in the logs. I also tried to remove Hyperion from my RasPi via HyperCon and reinstalled it.
I assume, that something is wrong with my LED Strip. Shouldn't it light up in white, when I disconnect it from the RasPi and just leave the power source? If not, is there a way of wiring to do that independent from the RasPi?
The other Possibility is that my gpio Pins on the RasPi are somehow broken.
I got these APA 102 LEDs from amazon:
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
