Been working on this about a week. Im dying here. i had LED #0 light for a minute but thats it. Following instruction set here: https://hyperion-project.org/threads/raspberry-pi-3-mediacenter-hyperion-ambilight-no-soldering.77/ The iMac I was using to write RPI images to SD cards died in the middle of this project so I have another Raspberry Pi running Raspian that I am using to run the Hypercon.jar and create my config. I am then SSH into my other pi running Openelec and media center. config log Please help. I am about to start throwing electronics out the window.
ssh in: Failed to open device('/dev/spidev0.0') did you enable spi? if you want help, you need to say what you try till now... which leds you use? do you only want to grab from openelec?
The output looks a bit messy... it looks like spi is not enabled.... please run Code: grep -r 'dtparam' /flash/config.txt to check if spi is enabled
Thanks for the responses. Apparently i did not have SPI on... I am not sure where I missed that in the tutorial but Im going back to see if i can find it... Code: OpenELEC (official) Version: 8.0.3 OpenELEC:~ # grep -r 'dtparam' /flash/config.txt grep: /flash/config.txt: No such file or directory I found and followed this and now spi is on but still no luck. https://hyperion-project.org/threads/not-working.303/#post-2476 Code: mount -o remount,rw /flash cd /flash/overlays/ curl -L --output enable-spi-overlay.dtb --get https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3669512/temp/enable-spi-overlay.dtb nano /flash/config.txt device_tree_overlay=overlays/enable-spi-overlay.dtb dtparam=spi=on Now it shows this: Code: OpenELEC (official) Version: 8.0.3 OpenELEC:~ # grep -r 'dtparam' /flash/config.txt dtparam=spi=on And new log Code: SSH Traffic: ssh connected sftp Send Hyperion Config - Sourcepath: /home/pi/JD Hyperion, Targetpath: /storage/.config/, Filename: hyperion.config.json ssh out: /storage/.config/autostart.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 & ssh out: cat /storage/logfiles/hyperion.log ssh in: Hyperion Ambilight Deamon (891) ssh in: Version : V1.03.3 (brindosch-2fbbcff/2f01dfa-1495880388 ssh in: Build Time: Jun 3 2017 02:06:37 ssh in: INFO: Selected configuration file: /storage/.config/hyperion.config.json ssh in: HYPERION INFO: ColorTransform 'default' => [0; 99] ssh in: HYPERION INFO: ColorCorrection 'default' => [0; 99] ssh in: HYPERION INFO: ColorAdjustment 'default' => [0; 99] ssh in: LEDDEVICE INFO: configuration: ssh in: { ssh in: "colorOrder" : "rgb", ssh in: "name" : "MyHyperionConfig", ssh in: "output" : "/dev/spidev0.0", ssh in: "rate" : 1000000, ssh in: "type" : "ws2801" ssh in: } ssh in: Failed to open device('/dev/spidev0.0') ssh in: INFO: Creating linear smoothing ssh in: HYPERION (CS) INFO: Created linear-smoothing(interval_ms=50;settlingTime_ms=200;updateDelay=0 ssh in: EFFECTENGINE INFO: 27 effects loaded from directory /storage/hyperion/effects ssh in: EFFECTENGINE INFO: Initializing Python interpreter ssh in: INFO: Hyperion started and initialised ssh in: INFO: Boot sequence 'Rainbow swirl fast' EFFECTENGINE INFO: run effect Rainbow swirl fast on channel 0 ssh in: BLACKBORDER INFO: threshold set to 0 (0) ssh in: BLACKBORDER INFO: mode:default ssh in: started ssh in: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' ssh in: what(): JSONSERVER ERROR: could not bind to port ssh in: Aborted (core dumped) ssh out: killall hyperiond 2>/dev/null ssh out: /storage/.config/autostart.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 & ssh out: cd /tmp && curl -# -k -L --output install_hyperion.sh --get https://raw.github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion/master/bin/install_hyperion.sh && sh ./install_hyperion.sh HyperConInstall ; rm install_hyperion.sh ssh out: ######################################################################## 100.0% ssh in: ******************************************************************************* ssh in: This script will install/update Hyperion Ambient Light ssh in: Created by brindosch - hyperion-project.org - the official Hyperion source. ssh in: ******************************************************************************* ssh in: ---> Stop Hyperion, if necessary ssh in: ---> Downloading the appropriate Hyperion release ssh in: ---> Downloading Hyperion OpenELEC/LibreELEC release ssh out: ############### 22.0% ssh out: ############################### 43.9% ssh out: ############################################## 63.9% ssh out: ############################################################ 83.9% ssh out: ######################################################################## 100.0% ssh in: ---> Downloading Hyperion OpenELEC/LibreELEC dependencies ssh out: ## 3.5% ssh out: ###### 8.8% ssh out: ######### 13.4% ssh out: ############## 19.6% ssh out: #################### 28.0% ssh out: ########################## 36.2% ssh out: ################################ 45.4% ssh out: ######################################## 56.9% ssh out: ################################################ 67.7% ssh out: ####################################################### 77.4% ssh out: ############################################################### 88.2% ssh out: ###################################################################### 98.3% ssh out: ######################################################################## 100.0% ssh in: ---> Starting Hyperion ssh in: ******************************************************************************* ssh in: Hyperion Installation/Update finished!

Yes I sure did but still no luck. I decided to start over and try a previous version of OpenElec. 6 instead of 8. I followed the install instructions and now it works and I have a working config. I do not know how stable this setup is and I am kinda afraid to update the OpenElec for fear that it will stop working. I still have errors in my log file but at least i have lights now. Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it!

ssh in: what(): JSONSERVER ERROR: could not bind to port means there is something using the same port...may hyperiond runs allready in the background
Ok I will look into the not binding to port. Thanks everyone for your help, now that I at least have lights working I have the necessary motivation to keep working on it. Not getting ANY lights after working on it daily for weeks was seriously frustrating! We can close this thread now. I will hopefully figure the rest out on my own but I will come back if necessary. THANKS AGAIN!
