The LEDs are good. When I just cabled the controller to the strip with GND,CLK,DATA all LEDS (powered by separate PSU [3A 5V]) light up.
When booting (powering) the WLED controller only 5 LEDs light up and in settings there is segment0 woth 0 to 6. WHY ?
In the settings I set the correct number of LEDs (50) and thats saved, even on reboot.
I want to use this strip with WLED as well solo as in combination with Hyperion (libreelec) as ambilight.
[There is some future plan to use it in Home Assistant, but not in that moment]
What do I have to configure to make that work? What am I doing wrong about those segment or why is my WLED not using all 50 LEDs?
Really hoping to get help here, as the project seems to me very satisfying.
do all of your LEDs light up if you change the stop point to LED 50 in Segment 0?
If yes, you can save slot 16 in the Presets tab and set 16 as the boot preset in LED settings.
Normally segment 0 should always initiate to the LED count, i don’t know why that doesn’t happen in your case. Maybe doing a factory reset in Security & About Settings could also help.
thanks for reply. If the controller is up it shows segment 0 with 0 to 6 LED although 50 LEDs are stored to config. When changing it manually under “Segment” menu there is no change at all.
I tried setting slot16 to be the boot preset and configured some segments there, but still no change.
Will try the factory reset that you mentioned and then come back at you.
Thank you very much for that awesome project you are doing here.
Is your ESP’s 0V and LED strip 0V electrically connected (bonded)? If not, please find a way to bond your commons. That may just make you smile if that’s the problem.
No thats not the problem. They were connected all the time. BUT as Aircookie said factory reset seems to do the thing. So now I have multiple segments including all 50 LEDs.
Is there anybody that uses WLED flashed device with Libreelec (Hyperion) over serial connection?
I really have problems with that and get no connection, although all LEDs are good now and hyperion service is running.
Yes you are correct. The WLED (nodeMCU) is connected via USB Cable to my MediaCenter (libreelec on Kadash VIM). What is ment by this Adalight USB protocol? Is this something I have to configure in Hyperion config?
So when I start my libreelec device it powers my nodeMCU, during start the LEDs fire up a rainbow pattern and then go out. So there must be a connection/control of the ESP by libreelec (hyperion) right?Bit when I start a video there is no LED lighting up. What to do there? While nodeMCU is connected to Libreelec via USB, there is no control via Wifi possible, normal?
No, that is not normal, WiFi should always be available. I’ve had that issue too once, it seems to be due to interference…
There are two ways to get data from Hyperion to WLED for an ambilight, Adalight protocol (over USB) and UDP protocol 0 over WiFi.
Use the website for hyperion to change config, the ip and port 19446 should be right with udpraw.
And be sure wled device is turned on, it wont work turned off.
No, the default should work out of the box.
Be sure your led count in hyperion is the same or less then the wled device.
Also set a layout, the total count in layout has to match the led controller.
