[QUOTE="Hapo, post: 1150373, member: 154586"] The additional Red Wire is the GND. I have connected directly from LED strip GND on the Rpi and another wire directly from Jack adapter to another GND spot on Rpi, thats why it have 5 instead of 4 ( Instead of Connecting GND from led strip to the Jack adapter and from Jack adapter to Rpi ive just made 2 directly connections to 2 different GND spots on rpi) Ive tried to take another pictures, see if its good to see now. From led Strip: 1.Black is GND - Connected to Spot 6 on Rpi 2. Red is 5+ - Connected to 2pin Jumper connected to spot 2 and 4 on rpi 3.Yellow is DI - Connected to Mosi, spot 19 on rpi 4.Orange is CI - Connected to SCLK spot 23 on rpi From Jack Adapter 1. Brown is + - connected to the 2pin jumper that is connected also with the RED on led strip on the spot 2 and 4 on Rpi 2.Green is - which is connected on spot 39 on Rpi which is GND also. Installation of Software had no issue, such on Openelec as on Hyperion and hypercon configurations, ive changed the effects location on config and i also added "dtparam=spi=on" on config file, ive added the "enable-spi-overlay.dtb"on overlay and added "dt-blob" on flash folder (and remount it again). i Have 2 Strip of 85cm and 2 strips of 45cm. I have soldered them all with the correct Input/Output orientation of the pigtails without mixing the Cables. All Blacks on GND, all Greens on DO/DI, all Reds on CO/CI and all blues on 5v. Im using 5v/5A Power supply, with Rpi 2, and 32Gb SD card. Im using Putty and Filezilla as SSH and FTP Well i am really new at all of this, so i tried to give all the information i have, tell me if you still need any more info. If needed i can format SD card and re-do all the instalattion process to show the LOG, but there was no error text that had appeared such as: missing file, error on installation, error on permissions, error on compatibility.
