Hi there
Been messing around with hyperion and boblight, I've had boblight working on a windows machine + kodi but my HTPC has Kodibuntu running on it so thats what ill change to in the future..
But anyways right now I got a Raspberry Pi 3 with OSMC and I'm trying to get Hyperion running on it but I can't seem to get it to work fully 
I have tried tons of different hyperion configs and also a lot of sketches for my Arduino nano. The LED is 5 meter WS2812B so that's 300 LEDS.
So far it seems the service is up and running on the RPI3 because when I use the following command "sudo service hyperion status" over ssh I get this message back:

And I might as well post my Arduino sketch while I'm at it (got it from HERE
