[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1179725, member: 17766"] Hi [USER=158089]@laphroaig[/USER] , Haven't worked with the Lightberry converter box but judging by the screenshots it looks like an wiring issue especially since it gives issues without that box as well, would check a few things: - Make sure the gnd wire is connected to both the Lightberry box and LED strips as without that you will get similar issues, they need to share the same gnd wire. - Double check the direction of the data wires, make sure the start end is correct however typically they wouldn't work at all when connected incorrectly. - Only connect the start point with power and data for testing to rule out any wiring issue or interference. - Might be that your WS2801 strip has a non-standard connection order (gnd / power / data pins), would try a different order carefully or measure with multimeter to see if for instance the gnd isn't swapped for the V+. Also make sure you get an up2date Hyperion installation by re-running the installer shown in the how-to, because depending on your install date you might have gotten an outdated Hyperion version due to a long outstanding bug with the installer script (never linked to new builds before).
