And my PSU is a no-name 5V-10A I ordered from AliExpress...

i think is china quality ...

For new arrival, please don't play with the PSU ( buy official one from real manufacturer )

Hyperion config:

Made some small adjustments based on the one I've running here with WS2812 and attached it, might be worth a try
Did found something interesting here:

https://github.com/tvdzwan/hyperion/issues/251

So what you can check in in an SSH session:

nano -w /boot/config.txt

check if this text is in there:

'dtparam=spi=on'

if not best to add or change and save with F2 key.

In the hyperion config you can increase the rate value to something like this:

"rate" : 1200000.

Can't find any clear examples for it so far but that should be a good enough start.

Currently installing raspian. Will do! Thanks.

Added some more info to the previous post, seems the Hyperion documentation is missing some information for rPI2 or its no longer needed but not 100% sure.

For me Raspbian jessie had worked out of the box. Just setup everthing (IP, hostname, memory split etc) and installed hyperion.

Btw: I've used this psu http://lednexus.de/product_info.php...ws2801.html&XTCsid=2fi18jh5tmc10vdfasvg8ri5t3

Funny, thats mine...

Don't know how. Currently I am even struggling with SSHing in. Seems the Raspian Jessie has no password on first try...

 

[Rick164]

Default login info for it is:

Login: pi
Password: raspberry

 

[edsche]

User should be "pi" and password should be "raspberry". SSH to "raspberrypi".

To setup everything i would suggest to read that:
https://www.elektronik-kompendium.de/sites/raspberry-pi/1906291.htm

Basically you just do the sudo raspi-config.

BTW: If you want a static ip, you have to set it in "/etc/dhcpcd.conf" and not in "/etc/network/interfaces". Thats special about jessie.

"Hinweis: In Raspbian Wheezy vom 2015-05-05 und in Raspbian Jessie ist standardmäßig ein DHCP Client Daemon (DHCPCD) aktiv, der zum Problem werden kann, wenn man die IPv4-Konfiguration auf diese Weise vornimmt."

Here is the guide about that. You need to go with the "Solution 2"/"Lösung 2"
