Can't light my WS2812B with hyperSPI

[magneju]

Hello,

i have some problem light my leds. I'll try to give as much information as i can. I’m a beginner, but I did my research before making this post.

My setup :

• Raspberry Pi 4b 1GO : https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B07TD43PDZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
• Raspberry Pi Pico rp2040 zero : https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0D869F8QG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
• Level shifter : TXS0108E : https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0B58CL7RB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
• leds strip : 144leds/m : https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B09MLTPS95?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Sofware :

• hyperhdr 21.0.0.0beta1
  And my configuration :
  
  

Here is some picture of my installation.
Don't judge me, I did some fly wiring for my tests.
I power my Ambilight LED strip at all four corners of the TV. However, the data signal (green) enters at a single point and does not form a loop.

I try to perform a debug test and this is what i got :

And last thing, here is the logs :

I checked to ensure I have 5V everywhere on my LEDs. That part is fine.
I tried changing the data pinout on the Raspberry Pi Pico. By default, I saw it was set to 14, but I wasn’t able to change it for testing. Maybe it’s a pin issue.
I don’t know what mistake I might have made. Is it hardware-related? Could it be a bad choice of components? Or do I have a software configuration issue?

I would be very grateful for your analysis and the time you spend helping me.

Thank you by advance

Hi
This is the most important log, there is a communication so Pico should render the frames:

As for the TXS0108 level shifter: https://kno.wled.ge/basics/compatible-hardware/ NOT recommended!

[awawa-dev]

I also don't know how it's all connected to the leds or even if there's a common ground there, are there two segments or one, are you using GPIO14 (and possibly 15)? Connect the data signal without a level shifter to the leds using a short cable.

First, let's check the equipment itself.

• RP2040-Zero + TXS0108 + LED Strip

Download the test firmware attached below to RP2040.
test (14. 15 pin).zip

• 8 LEDs will blink blue, if Data-line is connected to pin "14" on RP2040.
• 8 LEDs will blink green, if Data-line is connected to pin "15" on RP2040.

If all connections between elements are made correctly, then in your case the tape will blink blue.
If so, then there are no problems at the hardware level, then you will need to figure out the software settings.

Hello,

First of all, thank you @awawa-dev and @AstaRom for your responses and for taking the time to help me. Special thanks to @awawa-dev for replying so quickly, it’s much appreciated!

To provide more details for your analysis:
I’ve confirmed that all my components (Raspberry Pi, Pico, power supply for the LEDs, and the TXS0108) are connected to a common ground. I try to reduce the lenght of the data cable between the output of the TXS0108 and the 1st led to 20cm. See below the attached wiring diagram of my setup so you can see how everything is connected.

Next, I’ll try the steps you both suggested:
Testing with the firmware for the RP2040-Zero: I’ll flash the test firmware and see if the LEDs blink on pins 14 or 15 as described.
Changing the level shifter if needed: If the test doesn’t work, I’ll replace the TXS0108 with a more appropriate level shifter, like the 74HCT245.

I’ll follow up within one week with the results once I’ve gone through these steps. Thanks again for your help!

[AstaRom]

I’ll replace the TXS0108 with a more appropriate level shifter, like the 74HCT245

It is advisable to use:

• SN74AHCT125
• SN74AHCT32

It is also possible to use the 'SN74LVC2T45'.
But it is more difficult to work with due to its size.
