Hi Guys, i'm new here to this forum and couldnt find a solution to my problem. I know that there are many errors with this setup and i'm probably going to use an Arduino in the future but it's really bothering me because i think its just a little problem. So i've set up an RPi 3 Modell B with OpenELEC and 5m of WS2812b LED (only rough version). I've connected the Data line to Pin 19 (SPI) and configured everything in HyperCon. The LED's are working but they always remain in a state of shining from white to red. (as you can see in the picture) I can send a color change per SSH in Hypercon and it works too but just a second an then the LED's go back to white to red. I can even use the Android App but its still the same, all Effects and Color changes remain only a second an then it goes back to white --> red. I've noticed that i can use the Effect "UDP listener" in the App and the LED goes off. But if i use another effect or color change it blinks again back to white --> red. The Hypercon Log looks quite good also I really hope someone has a hint for me Thanks!
1. UDP listener waits for udp signals...so it is normal that the leds going off... 2. Do you use a levelshiffter? 3. your white to red looks more like a extrem voltage drop...did you power the stripe only from one side? 4. did you make a screenshot with hyperion to see what it captures? 5. no config, no help, please post your config
Hi TPmodding, first thank you for your answer, i really appreciate this 1. ok i just thought its interesting because it shows that there is a chance the LED's turn off, in all other cases the LED's are always on. Even if i Disconnect the RPi. 2. no i dont use a levelshifter , is it possible that this causes the always on effect? 3. thank you! you were totally right! i connected the other end and now the LED are all white. But the main problem is still the same 4. when i want to take a picture from the internal grabber it says this is not possible. 5. my config is attached 6. and here is the Log vom SSH: sftp Send Hyperion Config - Sourcepath: C:/Users/Tim/Desktop/Hyperion, Targetpath: /storage/.config/, Filename: hyperion.config.json ssh out: killall hyperiond 2>/dev/null ssh out: /storage/.config/autostart.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 & ssh out: /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote.sh -c 4c65ff ssh in: hyperion-remote: ssh in: version : V1.03.4 (brindosch-c750c41/dc6a602-1522918225 ssh in: build time: Apr 5 2018 01:57:05 ssh in: Connected to localhost:19444 ssh in: Set color to 76 101 255 ssh out: /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote.sh -c 74ffcb ssh in: hyperion-remote: ssh in: version : V1.03.4 (brindosch-c750c41/dc6a602-1522918225 ssh in: build time: Apr 5 2018 01:57:05 ssh in: Connected to localhost:19444 ssh in: Set color to 116 255 203 ssh out: /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote.sh -c 50ff29 ssh in: hyperion-remote: ssh in: version : V1.03.4 (brindosch-c750c41/dc6a602-1522918225 ssh in: build time: Apr 5 2018 01:57:05 ssh in: Connected to localhost:19444 ssh in: Set color to 80 255 41 ssh out: /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote.sh -c f2ff2e ssh in: hyperion-remote: ssh in: version : V1.03.4 (brindosch-c750c41/dc6a602-1522918225 ssh in: build time: Apr 5 2018 01:57:05 ssh in: Connected to localhost:19444 ssh in: Set color to 242 255 46 ssh out: /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote.sh -c ffa429 ssh in: hyperion-remote: ssh in: version : V1.03.4 (brindosch-c750c41/dc6a602-1522918225 ssh in: build time: Apr 5 2018 01:57:05 ssh in: Connected to localhost:19444 ssh in: Set color to 255 164 41 ssh out: /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote.sh -c ff752e ssh in: hyperion-remote: ssh in: version : V1.03.4 (brindosch-c750c41/dc6a602-1522918225 ssh in: build time: Apr 5 2018 01:57:05 ssh in: Connected to localhost:19444 ssh in: Set color to 255 117 46 ssh out: /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote.sh -c ff4734 ssh in: hyperion-remote: ssh in: version : V1.03.4 (brindosch-c750c41/dc6a602-1522918225 ssh in: build time: Apr 5 2018 01:57:05 ssh in: Connected to localhost:19444 ssh in: Set color to 255 71 52 ssh out: /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote.sh -c ff3e3e ssh in: hyperion-remote: ssh in: version : V1.03.4 (brindosch-c750c41/dc6a602-1522918225 ssh in: build time: Apr 5 2018 01:57:05 ssh in: Connected to localhost:19444 ssh in: Set color to 255 62 62 ssh out: /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote.sh -c ff5278 ssh in: hyperion-remote: ssh in: version : V1.03.4 (brindosch-c750c41/dc6a602-1522918225 ssh in: build time: Apr 5 2018 01:57:05 ssh in: Connected to localhost:19444 ssh in: Set color to 255 82 120 ssh out: /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote.sh -c ff49b9 ssh in: hyperion-remote: ssh in: version : V1.03.4 (brindosch-c750c41/dc6a602-1522918225 ssh in: build time: Apr 5 2018 01:57:05 ssh in: Connected to localhost:19444 ssh in: Set color to 255 73 185 ssh out: /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote.sh -c ff2fa7 ssh in: hyperion-remote: ssh in: version : V1.03.4 (brindosch-c750c41/dc6a602-1522918225 ssh in: build time: Apr 5 2018 01:57:05 ssh in: Connected to localhost:19444 ssh in: Set color to 255 47 167 ssh out: killall hyperiond 2>/dev/null ssh out: cat /storage/logfiles/hyperion.log ssh in: Hyperion Ambilight Deamon (438) ssh in: Version : V1.03.4 (brindosch-c750c41/dc6a602-1522918225 ssh in: Build Time: Apr 5 2018 01:57:25 ssh in: INFO: Selected configuration file: /storage/.config/hyperion.config.json ssh in: HYPERION INFO: ColorTransform 'default' => [0;
