Please help me connect Ws2811 on Minix neo u9-h (Ambilight/ Hyperion)

  • Hardware used:
    Nano V3.0 ATmega328P controller arduino nano CH340 USB driver with CABLE NANO 328P NANO 3.0 Ws2811 Led Strip
    Minix neo u9-h @ Libre Elec 8.2.2.3
    OLED55C7 OLED TV
    Marantz SR 6011

    Software:
    Windows 10 latest updates
    Hypercon V1.03.3

    So I tried following the Hypercon guide, setting all the zones and options and I connect through SSH and send the config through. and start/stop and read the log. But from what I can see nothing is working.

    Not sure what to select @ the "hardware" tab either at "type" WS2801 gives me a log error for:
    LEDDEVICE ERROR: Unknown/Unimplemented device ws2801

    If I select WS281X-RPI I get error
    LEDDEVICE ERROR: Unknown/Unimplemented device ws2812

    If I try "adalight" No errors pop up. (on pc i have also selected adalight with ambibox and that seems to work)
    Anyway No lights popup.
    So what do I have to do get something to pop up lights?
    Also where do I connect my usb arduino nano to? Host PC with Hypercon? or my Minix uh-9 neo box?

    Any tips on making it to work? I feel im close. Since I think I have setup the rest pretty well.

  • Ok fixed a part of it baud serial rate wasnt the same in the script of the Arduino as in the Hyperion script.

    Now using: Config AdalightAPA102, /dev/ttyUSB0, baudrate 115,200

    Now I the lights are on, and I can controll the leds via the laptop eventhough colours seem way off.

    However the leds don't respond to the video that is being played on the box!!! Why is this?

    Am I missing something? Interal frame grabber should do the job?

  • Anyone?? really want to get this working!

    Btw here are my hypercon settings:

    Then I tried Boblight Addon setup the t4a_boblight.ino file:

    "Boblight Team LibreELEC - 8.2.100"

    "Kodi Boblight Bobo101, Memphiz - 2.0.18

    And I can set a static LED colour and that works correct.
    Then I try some video's anime, 1080p movie, 4k hdr movie. ETC.
    Now for some video's it does seem to work. But no logic as to which videos.
    So far all 4khdr and 1080p movies don't seem to trigger boblight/ambilight.
    Only some anime trigger boblight/ambilight...

    4kHDRand 1080P = movie section in kodi
    anime= tv show section in kodi

  • Question does Anyone have Ambilight /Hyperion working with Libre elec? if so which libre elec version?

    I finally made Hyperion work with correct colour and it responds to "pictures"
    But still with video playback, the leds are not responding at all.
