SOLVED Hyperion NG works but not on reboot or cold start

Hi all,

I have been using Hyperion Classic on a Intel HTPC for a fair while now without any issues.I checked the forum and saw that NG has progressed an awful lot - I am not a coder and a complete noob when it come to Linux but I am capable enough to have gotten Hyperion Classic installed and working .

I now have NG working and all the leds operate etc and the ambilight effect in Librelec is great.

The issue I have is that if I power off the HTPC I get the RGB sequence but no rainbow effect or any ambilight within Kodi.

The server doesnt appear to be working as I cannot connect via phone app but if I use the web gui I can manually turn the leds on.

I am using APA102 Led's and the kit I originally had was a Lightberry kit that has been modded to have more led's so it uses an Arduino.

I have messed around adding various Hyperion Kodi add-ons and was wondering if these could be interfering with the system - all uninstalled now I must add.

Thanks

 

did you turn-off smoothing @ remote controll?

if you turn it off and lights work again then its a bug in controller part and known by dev's now.

 

Hi Jereon, thanks for the reply.

I have just tried turning off smoothing and done a reboot and also a cold boot. I still have to turn the leds on manually to get it to work.

 

OK I have done some more researching and have attached the log file to this post.

I can see that the Arduino is recognized but then there appears to be a second instance of it where it says its been disabled. I don't know what to do next

(ERROR) Device disabled, device 'adalight' signals error: 'Invalid serial device name: [ttyACM0]!

 

Thanks for the help, I’ve tried changing it to auto but get a different error now. Hope that works never used paste in before

 

Sure here you go. This isn't on a Pi, its a Intel system I3-6320 - no bluetooth on this either

I just tried the command you asked me to input and it tells me - No such file or directory

 

No worries, I am not au fait with the command line so I had no idea!

 

I tried changing the setting to "/dev/ttyACM1" as you suggested and it made no difference.

Your suggestions though made me think about what else I had connected via USB, I have a

Flirc
Logitech dongle for a K400r keyboard/mouse combo
Pulse 8 CEC
The USB lead from the Arduino

I disconnected everything except the Arduino and it works! I get the rainbow on reboot and the LEDs come on as they should. I added back in the USB devices one by one and kept checking by rebooting and it all worked until I added the Flirc.

I am happy to try what you have requested in your post above if it helps to diagnose the issue though? I expect you would like to know where the issue lies?

Thank you for all your help with this.

 

No I haven't yet, I was wondering if I should try using different USB ports as a test? Would it be a conflict on the USB channels? I wonder if I should speak to Flirc?

 

I’m going to mark this as solved, for reference I am now using a nodemcu and I also have the flirc plugged back in and that is also functioning as it should. I don’t know if it was a conflict with the original lightberry arduino or not. I have looked on the flirc forum but haven’t found anyone else with the same issue.

I have to be honest the nodemcu is a great piece of kit! Seems ever so responsive and was an absolute doddle to setup. It even links to Philips hue.

Thanks to @Lord-Grey & @jeroen warmerdam for the help
