Hello,
I need help, I understand this topic is made a few times on the forum and I didn't wanted to make another topic of the same content but nothing works for me. It could be that I'm missing something.
For a start I have only basic knowledge about raspberry and its OS. As you could see in the title this is Raspberry Pi 4 related.
My hardware is:
Raspberry Pi 4 4GB rev.1.2
Switching Power Supply 5v 10A
WS2812B Led Strip (400 LEDs)
But for testing, I'm using small stripe cutoff with 8 LEDs on it.
Connection:
A connection is done the same as for Rpi 3b+.
Negative (-) from the power supply is connected to negative on WS2812 strip and to pin 6 (GND) on Rpi. Positive (+) from the power supply is connected just to positive (5v+) on WS2812 strip. Data from WS2812 is connected to pin 12 (GPIO 18) on Rpi.
OS:
For OS I'm using newest Raspbian Booster (also tried newest LibreElec, ended up with same result and error)
Hyperion:
Tried both terminal-based installation and with HyperCon
An error that I'm getting is:
Unable to initialize RPI_WS281X
and after copying Hyperiond file from your last post in this thread:
https://hyperion-project.org/t…lize-ws281x-library.3680/
I'm getting that error is "signal".
I also tried the suggestion "storage/output.txt" from the tread mentioned above. The output is provided bellow .
Interesting thing is that after a few tries I wanted to check with some other tutorials just for WS281X and followed this one:
https://tutorials-raspberrypi.…pi-ws2812-rgb-led-strips/
I had to additionally install scons and swig in order for this tutorial to work but in the end, it worked without a problem, all effects were visible on 8 led stripe.
I tried Hyperion again and still nothing.
I'm not sure why is this RPI_WS281X tutorial working but Hyperion won't.
Edit:
Corrected tutorial link, corrected grammar mistakes, provided links for log, config and output.
