WS2801 - RPi 3B+ - Raspbian

  • Hi all,


    I try to get hyperion to work on my RPi 3B+ but I can't.
    Actually, it already worked but due to bad sticky tape, my raspberry fell down the tv and was dangeling on the cables.


    After this accident I didnt get it to work anymore. What have I done:
    A) Rewireing all connections
    B) Wire in only 3 LEDs that where leftovers from the installation
    C) Buy a new 1m of LED strip, wire that in.


    Nothing works so far.


    For C) I noticed if i only give the current all LEDs are working. When I add the RPi they stop and only the first 2 LEDs are on but they can't be manipulated (used hypercon and the app for android).


    Next steps were:


    D) Reinstall hyperion
    E) Changing cmdline.txt and config.txt accordingly to Akriss https://hyperion-project.org/t…-rpi-3b-no-function.3347/


    Some information about the Voltage
    All relative to GND


    __ __ inputLED1__ inputLED2__ inputLED3
    V+ __ +5V__ __ __ +5V__ __ __ +5V
    Clk __ 0V__ __ __ 0V __ __ __ __ 0V
    D__ +1.2V__ __ __ 0V __ __ __ __ 0V
    Gnd __ 0V__ __ __ 0V__ __ __ __ 0V





    May it be that the GPIO of the RPi got damaged?
    Can I use a different GPIO for testing?


    Thank you
    ano

  • EDIT: Sorry I'm a little under the weather today. I miss read. And Thought you where using WS281X leds.
    You are not. So the below ( "Yes. Detailed HERE." ) AND ( "SPI pins (pin 19) are the best (IMHO). Use the WS281X-SPI driver in Hypercon".) is wrong. Sorry.


    WS2801 leds need the SPI line. no other pins to use on the PI. =/


    There is a program to test the function of SPI pins HERE.

    Could be. But if it boots, chances are it good.


    Can I use a different GPIO for testing


    Yes. Detailed HERE.


    What pins where you using?


    SPI pins (pin 19) are the best (IMHO). Use the WS281X-SPI driver in Hypercon.


    Hope it of help.
