LED Hardware needs config change before it works #547

Closed UniCizin closed 5 years ago

UniCizin commented 5 years ago

Hello,

i have Hyperion.ng up and running with arduino since a month or two. the only issue still bothering me is that if i start all the devices (raspberry, led power supply etc), the leds stay black.

hyperion.ng is running, in the webconfig i see that there is a picture in the grabber and the arduino does the initial rgb flash 2 or 3 times, but then nothing happens.

I have to change and then reset a parameter in "LED Hardware"-Section to get it working. (set the connection delay f.e.)

any ideas?

Try setting the connection delay setting (start with 5000ms) as it might be that during inital startup with the Arduino it needs a bit more time. Had the same problem with Hyperion non-ng and that solved it here, using this adalight sketch:

If you still have the problem just let us know and will check it further.

it's wierd. i have the delay at 9000 ms.. Sometimes it works like a charm, sometimes i have to change one of the parameters. I dont know wich sketch i used in arduino, but i will try the one mentioned by you just to make sure.

can be closed. works like a charm with the sketch mentioned above.

((i also extended the startup effect to a duration of 7500 ms to get it shown))
