[QUOTE="laphroaig, post: 1179716, member: 158089"] Awesome tutorial with lots of great information - thanks for making this! Few weeks back I started ordering all the needed stuff all over the internet and I finally got the last pieces before Easter weekend. I've been trying to set up my leds for a couple of days now, and now I'm stuck - any help appreciated to debug/find out the source of my problem. [B]Here's my parts:[/B] -PSU (5V, 10A, 50W) -Lightberry USB Converter box (Arduino Leonardo adalight basically) -USB-A to USB-B (Pi —> Arduino) -HDMI2AV -WS2801 5m LED strip (160 leds) -RCA male-to-male extra connector (HDMI2AV -> USB video grabber -Lightberry video grabber (utv007 fushicai) [B]Setup[/B] -All the devices (pi2 with OSMC, PS4, Cable TV, Computer) go to my AV-receiver which has two HDMI outputs, main goes to TV and sub-out goes to hdmi2av [B]Problem is[/B], I can't get hyperion to light up the leds via video feed, Hyperion app for iOS or hyperion console commands. When I plug in the PSU for the led strip and arduino I get some random leds light up on the strip. If I plug the power in/out. When I plug in the USB input from raspberry (OSMC) all the leds shut down. [B]Couple of photos on the issue:[/B] [URL]http://imgur.com/a/MaSfo[/URL] [B]What I've tried / what is working:[/B] -Video grabber works (I'm able to take a screenshots of the video input with console commands) -Hyperion's output is set to /dev/ttyACM0 which is correct for the arduino-converter controlling leds (tested by plugging the device in/out and checking 'ls /dev/tty*' -I can connect via Hyperion mobile app and Hyperion listens to the app correctly (checked by running hyperion manually and checking it's console log with 'sudo hyperiond /opt/hyperion/config/hyperion.config.json -I've tried to disable/enable video grabber and other settings from hyperion config and tried several baud rates and output device settings (adalight, ws2801 etc..) nothing seems to work -I've tried to power the led strip from both ends (currently plugged so that it's in the correct end and follows the direction shown by the little arrows on the strip -I've tried running Adalight's "color swirl" Processing sketch manually for the arduino, but I get nothing. I don't know how to debug this deeper - Everything seems to be fine except the raspberry->arduino via serial USB. Anyone experienced some of these problems or have any tips what I could try next?
