Cannot connect my Allpixel

Fabian_Reingruber · September 5, 2019, 2:46pm

I simply exchanged the StripChannelTest with PixelPingPong…

import bibliopixel

causes frame timing information to be output

bibliopixel.log.setLogLevel(bibliopixel.log.FRAME)

from bibliopixel.drivers import ChannelOrder

from bibliopixel.drivers.serial import *

Load driver for the AllPixel

from bibliopixel.drivers.serial import *

set number of pixels & LED type here

driver = Serial(num = 5, ledtype = LEDTYPE.WS2812B, c_order = ChannelOrder.RGB)

load the LEDStrip class

from bibliopixel.layout import *

led = Strip(driver)

from PixelPingPong import PixelPingPong

anim = PixelPingPong(led, max_led=30, color=(0, 0, 255), additional_pixels=5, fade_delay=2)

load channel test animation

#from bibliopixel.animation import StripChannelTest

#anim = StripChannelTest(led)

try:

run the animation

anim.run()

except KeyboardInterrupt:

Ctrl+C will exit the animation and turn the LEDs offs

led.all_off()

led.update()

Hi Adam,

You were right. All of my LEDs were broken. Probably because I had them connected to a bench power supply.

I have ordered new WS2812s and now the StripChannelTest is working.

Now if I want to run e.g. PixelPingPong instead I get this:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘Layout’ from 'bibliopixel.layout.layout’

So far I found that StripChannelTest is defined in the init and within tests.py …

Do you please have a hint for me???

BR, Fabian

My only guess is that the data signal isn’t making it to the LEDs. I’d try disconnecting and redoing the connections. And then check that you have continuity between data on the AP and data on the first LED.

Hey Adam,

I am trying to reactivate my Allpixel.

Running your Strip Example I get the following response:

Adam:

BTW… support requests should go here -> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/maniacal-labs-users

Was there any more to the console output? That looks like it connected… there’s no error. It found the device ID and Version (0 and 0 are correct for a new device). Are you just not getting any output on the LEDs?

What version of bibliopixel are you running? Please send the output of pip list

Thank you for the fast response!

I am a noob in programming so I try different approaches for hours now.

Bibliopixel is the latest version 3.4.44

The Allpixel is connected to COM3.

Right now I get this response in Pycharm:

If should be from BiblioPixelAnimations.strip.PixelPingPong import PixelPingPong

Though not sure if that’s the full reason for the error.
Can you give me the exact command you are using to run your script?

Was there any more to the console output? That looks like it connected… there’s no error. It found the device ID and Version (0 and 0 are correct for a new device). Are you just not getting any output on the LEDs?

What version of bibliopixel are you running? Please send the output of pip list

Thank you for the fast response!

I am a noob in programming so I try different approaches for hours now.

Bibliopixel is the latest version 3.4.44

The Allpixel is connected to COM3.

Hi Adam,

You were right. All of my LEDs were broken. Probably because I had them connected to a bench power supply.

I have ordered new WS2812s and now the StripChannelTest is working.

Now if I want to run e.g. PixelPingPong instead I get this:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘Layout’ from 'bibliopixel.layout.layout’

So far I found that StripChannelTest is defined in the init and within tests.py …

Do you please have a hint for me???

My only guess is that the data signal isn’t making it to the LEDs. I’d try disconnecting and redoing the connections. And then check that you have continuity between data on the AP and data on the first LED.

Hi Adam,

You were right. All of my LEDs were broken. Probably because I had them connected to a bench power supply.

I have ordered new WS2812s and now the StripChannelTest is working.

Now if I want to run e.g. PixelPingPong instead I get this:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘Layout’ from 'bibliopixel.layout.layout’

So far I found that StripChannelTest is defined in the init and within tests.py …

Do you please have a hint for me???

So I did check V+ and GND connection in between the Capacitor and the LEDs.

DATA connection also looks good.

My only guess is that the data signal isn’t making it to the LEDs. I’d try disconnecting and redoing the connections. And then check that you have continuity between data on the AP and data on the first LED.

BTW… support requests should go here -> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/maniacal-labs-users

Was there any more to the console output? That looks like it connected… there’s no error. It found the device ID and Version (0 and 0 are correct for a new device). Are you just not getting any output on the LEDs?

What version of bibliopixel are you running? Please send the output of pip list

Thank you for the fast response!

I am a noob in programming so I try different approaches for hours now.

Bibliopixel is the latest version 3.4.44

The Allpixel is connected to COM3.

Right now I get this response in Pycharm:

Hi Adam,

You were right. All of my LEDs were broken. Probably because I had them connected to a bench power supply.

I have ordered new WS2812s and now the StripChannelTest is working.

Now if I want to run e.g. PixelPingPong instead I get this:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘Layout’ from 'bibliopixel.layout.layout’

So far I found that StripChannelTest is defined in the init and within tests.py …

Do you please have a hint for me???

So I did check V+ and GND connection in between the Capacitor and the LEDs.

DATA connection also looks good.

My only guess is that the data signal isn’t making it to the LEDs. I’d try disconnecting and redoing the connections. And then check that you have continuity between data on the AP and data on the first LED.

Adam:

BTW… support requests should go here -> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/maniacal-labs-users

Was there any more to the console output? That looks like it connected… there’s no error. It found the device ID and Version (0 and 0 are correct for a new device). Are you just not getting any output on the LEDs?

What version of bibliopixel are you running? Please send the output of pip list

Thank you for the fast response!

I am a noob in programming so I try different approaches for hours now.

Bibliopixel is the latest version 3.4.44

The Allpixel is connected to COM3.

Right now I get this response in Pycharm:

Hi Adam,

You were right. All of my LEDs were broken. Probably because I had them connected to a bench power supply.

I have ordered new WS2812s and now the StripChannelTest is working.

Now if I want to run e.g. PixelPingPong instead I get this:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘Layout’ from 'bibliopixel.layout.layout’

So far I found that StripChannelTest is defined in the init and within tests.py …

Do you please have a hint for me???

My only guess is that the data signal isn’t making it to the LEDs. I’d try disconnecting and redoing the connections. And then check that you have continuity between data on the AP and data on the first LED.

Was there any more to the console output? That looks like it connected… there’s no error. It found the device ID and Version (0 and 0 are correct for a new device). Are you just not getting any output on the LEDs?

What version of bibliopixel are you running? Please send the output of pip list

Thank you for the fast response!

I am a noob in programming so I try different approaches for hours now.

Bibliopixel is the latest version 3.4.44

The Allpixel is connected to COM3.

Hi Adam, I am really desperate … because of my poor Python programming skills.
Can we please try one more time?

So I run this Module and 6 LEDs light up as expected:

import bibliopixel
# causes frame timing information to be output

bibliopixel.log.setLogLevel(bibliopixel.log.FRAME)

from bibliopixel.drivers import ChannelOrder

# Load driver for the AllPixel

from bibliopixel.drivers.serial import *

# set number of pixels & LED type here

driver = Serial(num = 15, ledtype = LEDTYPE.WS2812B, c_order = ChannelOrder.RGB)

# load the LEDStrip class

from bibliopixel.layout import *

led = Strip(driver)

# load channel test animation

from bibliopixel.animation import *

anim = StripChannelTest(led)

try:

# run the animation

anim.run()

except KeyboardInterrupt:

# Ctrl+C will exit the animation and turn the LEDs offs

led.all_off()

led.update()

Now if I want to run Rainbows instead of StripChannelTest - what do I have to change?

Thank you Adam!

Fabian

Hi Adam,

You were right. All of my LEDs were broken. Probably because I had them connected to a bench power supply.

I have ordered new WS2812s and now the StripChannelTest is working.

Now if I want to run e.g. PixelPingPong instead I get this:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘Layout’ from 'bibliopixel.layout.layout’

So far I found that StripChannelTest is defined in the init and within tests.py …

Do you please have a hint for me???

My only guess is that the data signal isn’t making it to the LEDs. I’d try disconnecting and redoing the connections. And then check that you have continuity between data on the AP and data on the first LED.

BTW… support requests should go here -> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/maniacal-labs-users

Was there any more to the console output? That looks like it connected… there’s no error. It found the device ID and Version (0 and 0 are correct for a new device). Are you just not getting any output on the LEDs?

What version of bibliopixel are you running? Please send the output of pip list

Thank you for the fast response!

I am a noob in programming so I try different approaches for hours now.

Bibliopixel is the latest version 3.4.44

The Allpixel is connected to COM3.

Though not sure if that’s the full reason for the error.
Can you give me the exact command you are using to run your script?

Hi Adam,

You were right. All of my LEDs were broken. Probably because I had them connected to a bench power supply.

I have ordered new WS2812s and now the StripChannelTest is working.

Now if I want to run e.g. PixelPingPong instead I get this:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘Layout’ from 'bibliopixel.layout.layout’

So far I found that StripChannelTest is defined in the init and within tests.py …

Do you please have a hint for me???

So I did check V+ and GND connection in between the Capacitor and the LEDs.

DATA connection also looks good.

My only guess is that the data signal isn’t making it to the LEDs. I’d try disconnecting and redoing the connections. And then check that you have continuity between data on the AP and data on the first LED.

Adam:

BTW… support requests should go here -> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/maniacal-labs-users

Was there any more to the console output? That looks like it connected… there’s no error. It found the device ID and Version (0 and 0 are correct for a new device). Are you just not getting any output on the LEDs?

What version of bibliopixel are you running? Please send the output of pip list

Thank you for the fast response!

I am a noob in programming so I try different approaches for hours now.

Bibliopixel is the latest version 3.4.44

The Allpixel is connected to COM3.

Right now I get this response in Pycharm:

Hi Adam,

You were right. All of my LEDs were broken. Probably because I had them connected to a bench power supply.

I have ordered new WS2812s and now the StripChannelTest is working.

Now if I want to run e.g. PixelPingPong instead I get this:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘Layout’ from 'bibliopixel.layout.layout’

So far I found that StripChannelTest is defined in the init and within tests.py …

Do you please have a hint for me???

My only guess is that the data signal isn’t making it to the LEDs. I’d try disconnecting and redoing the connections. And then check that you have continuity between data on the AP and data on the first LED.

Was there any more to the console output? That looks like it connected… there’s no error. It found the device ID and Version (0 and 0 are correct for a new device). Are you just not getting any output on the LEDs?

What version of bibliopixel are you running? Please send the output of pip list

Thank you for the fast response!

I am a noob in programming so I try different approaches for hours now.

Bibliopixel is the latest version 3.4.44

The Allpixel is connected to COM3.

Hi Adam,

You were right. All of my LEDs were broken. Probably because I had them connected to a bench power supply.

I have ordered new WS2812s and now the StripChannelTest is working.

Now if I want to run e.g. PixelPingPong instead I get this:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘Layout’ from 'bibliopixel.layout.layout’

So far I found that StripChannelTest is defined in the init and within tests.py …

Do you please have a hint for me???

So I did check V+ and GND connection in between the Capacitor and the LEDs.

DATA connection also looks good.

My only guess is that the data signal isn’t making it to the LEDs. I’d try disconnecting and redoing the connections. And then check that you have continuity between data on the AP and data on the first LED.

BTW… support requests should go here -> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/maniacal-labs-users

Was there any more to the console output? That looks like it connected… there’s no error. It found the device ID and Version (0 and 0 are correct for a new device). Are you just not getting any output on the LEDs?

What version of bibliopixel are you running? Please send the output of pip list

Thank you for the fast response!

I am a noob in programming so I try different approaches for hours now.

Bibliopixel is the latest version 3.4.44

The Allpixel is connected to COM3.

Right now I get this response in Pycharm:

Hi Adam,

You were right. All of my LEDs were broken. Probably because I had them connected to a bench power supply.

I have ordered new WS2812s and now the StripChannelTest is working.

Now if I want to run e.g. PixelPingPong instead I get this:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘Layout’ from 'bibliopixel.layout.layout’

So far I found that StripChannelTest is defined in the init and within tests.py …

Do you please have a hint for me???

My only guess is that the data signal isn’t making it to the LEDs. I’d try disconnecting and redoing the connections. And then check that you have continuity between data on the AP and data on the first LED.

Was there any more to the console output? That looks like it connected… there’s no error. It found the device ID and Version (0 and 0 are correct for a new device). Are you just not getting any output on the LEDs?

What version of bibliopixel are you running? Please send the output of pip list

Thank you for the fast response!

I am a noob in programming so I try different approaches for hours now.

Bibliopixel is the latest version 3.4.44

The Allpixel is connected to COM3.

I will try some other LEDs and let you know. Thank you so much for your great support! Fabian

I’m stumped then. Most likely faulty LED. Have you tried connecting to a different LED in the chain? Those WS2812B LEDs are terrible about dying randomly

All right Yes I already did that!
So I did check V+ and GND connection in between the Capacitor and the LEDs.

DATA connection also looks good.

Do you have a multimeter? Usually aside from voltage and current they have a continuity mode. It beeps when there’s a connection between the two probes.

I … do not know how to do that

Are you able to confirm continuity between the AllPixel and the LEDs?

Hm… The solder connection seems to be fine … I connected one LED only, eleiminating the risk that the LEDs are the problem… same result

Oh… original AllPixel. Cool.
My only guess is that the data signal isn’t making it to the LEDs. I’d try disconnecting and redoing the connections. And then check that you have continuity between data on the AP and data on the first LED.

Yes of course!
These are type WS2812B. I have connected 46 breakout boards is a circle shaped row.

Connecting to power only, some of the LED light up in a random color.

So, yeah. You’re connecting fine. Just no output on the LEDs. What type of LEDs are you using? Did you set the correct type in the strip example script?
Can you send a picture of your LED connection to the AllPixel?

So that shows me that it is connecting and you just aren’t getting any output on the strip.
Can you change this line:

bibliopixel.log.setLogLevel(bibliopixel.log.DEBUG)

to this:

bibliopixel.log.setLogLevel(bibliopixel.log.FRAME)

And then send me the console output you get?

Hey Adam,

I am trying to reactivate my Allpixel.

Running your Strip Example I get the following response:

WARNING - deprecated - util.setLogLevel

Can you please help??

BR, Fabian

Adam:

BTW… support requests should go here -> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/maniacal-labs-users

Was there any more to the console output? That looks like it connected… there’s no error. It found the device ID and Version (0 and 0 are correct for a new device). Are you just not getting any output on the LEDs?

What version of bibliopixel are you running? Please send the output of pip list

Thank you for the fast response!

I am a noob in programming so I try different approaches for hours now.

Bibliopixel is the latest version 3.4.44

The Allpixel is connected to COM3.

Right now I get this response in Pycharm:
