Please help! AllPixelMini and Dotstar LED Strip - No Joy on initial StripChannelTest Run

Justin_Baker · September 5, 2019, 2:44pm

Hi!
Over the winter break I picked up an AllPixelMini and a Dotstar LED Strip https://www.adafruit.com/product/2239 for a fun father and son (I work in tech) project. When I run the sample from https://github.com/ManiacalLabs/AllPixel/wiki/Library-Install-and-Strip-Example after updating to use type ‘APA102’ I hear windows make a sound like a USB was unplugged and the LED strip doesn’t do anything. I’m assuming that sound is the AllPixelMini rebooting as it only does it when I change types . I’m not receiving code error when running the script. Curious if I need to be pushing more power or if I missed a step? See below for details and thanks in advance for the help! - Justin

AllPixelMini Now Available! – Maniacal Labs

Justin,

Have no fear, we’ll get you sorted
Hmm… no error messages is good.
For one, in that test script, can you try changing the log level line at the top to bibliopixel.log.setLogLevel('frame')?
It looks like I need to actually update that demo script as it’s got some older conventions.

But lets boil this down to something simpler… Save the following to a file named test.json

  {
"animation": {
"typename": "strip_test"
},
"driver": {
"num": 12,
"typename": "serial",
"c_order": "RGB",
"ledtype": "APA102"
},
"layout": {
"typename": "strip",
"brightness": 64,
"threadedUpdate": true
}
}

The in the command line, run: bp run test.json --loglevel frame
You should see something like this:

DEBUG - run - Running file test.json
DEBUG - animation_threading - Animation starts on main thread
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms

There may be a slight delay while it reboots the AllPixel and waits for it to restart, assuming no errors.

Let’s just make sure that works first and then we can go back to python scripts, if you want to. (Thought we highly recommend our json projects feature!)

Regarding power, I don’t think you need more. But it can never hurt! If you have a ~3A @ 5V adapter that fits the barrel jack on the AllPixel, definitely hook it up. In my test.json file above, you’ll see I set brightness to 64 (25%) which should help in testing. It’s unlikely your strip will draw too much power at that level.

Also, THANK YOU for such detailed information!

Let me know how that goes, and we can go from there

Cheers,

Adam

Hi Adam!
Thanks for reaching out! Need a little context sorry…

You said:

"The in the command line, run: bp run test.json --loglevel frame"

Do I call this from a cmd window under python? Just need an example of running the command in windows shell.

Ah! I didn’t have the C:\Python\Python36\Scripts dir in the windows path variable so I could call bp. Added and here is what I get from the command.

bp run test.json --loglevel frame

DEBUG - run - Running file test.json

DEBUG - animation_threading - Animation starts on main thread

FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms

Hi Adam!
Thanks for reaching out! Need a little context sorry…

You said:

"The in the command line, run: bp run test.json --loglevel frame"

Do I call this from a cmd window under python? Just need an example of running the command in windows shell.

Justin,

Hmm… no error messages is good.
For one, in that test script, can you try changing the log level line at the top to bibliopixel.log.setLogLevel('frame')?
It looks like I need to actually update that demo script as it’s got some older conventions.

But lets boil this down to something simpler… Save the following to a file named test.json

  {
"animation": {
"typename": "strip_test"
},
"driver": {
"num": 12,
"typename": "serial",
"c_order": "RGB",
"ledtype": "APA102"
},
"layout": {
"typename": "strip",
"brightness": 64,
"threadedUpdate": true
}
}
The in the command line, run: bp run test.json --loglevel frame
You should see something like this:

DEBUG - run - Running file test.json
DEBUG - animation_threading - Animation starts on main thread
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms

There may be a slight delay while it reboots the AllPixel and waits for it to restart, assuming no errors.

Let’s just make sure that works first and then we can go back to python scripts, if you want to. (Thought we highly recommend our json projects feature!)

Regarding power, I don’t think you need more. But it can never hurt! If you have a ~3A @ 5V adapter that fits the barrel jack on the AllPixel, definitely hook it up. In my test.json file above, you’ll see I set brightness to 64 (25%) which should help in testing. It’s unlikely your strip will draw too much power at that level.

Also, THANK YOU for such detailed information!

Let me know how that goes, and we can go from there

Cheers,

Adam

When I run the sample from https://github.com/ManiacalLabs/AllPixel/wiki/Library-Install-and-Strip-Example after updating to use type ‘APA102’ I hear windows make a sound like a USB was unplugged and the LED strip doesn’t do anything. I’m assuming that sound is the AllPixelMini rebooting as it only does it when I change types . I’m not receiving code error when running the script.

You said:

Do I call this from a cmd window under python? Just need an example of running the command in windows shell.

Hmm… no error messages is good.
For one, in that test script, can you try changing the log level line at the top to bibliopixel.log.setLogLevel('frame')?
It looks like I need to actually update that demo script as it’s got some older conventions.

But lets boil this down to something simpler… Save the following to a file named test.json

  {
"animation": {
"typename": "strip_test"
},
"driver": {
"num": 12,
"typename": "serial",
"c_order": "RGB",
"ledtype": "APA102"
},
"layout": {
"typename": "strip",
"brightness": 64,
"threadedUpdate": true
}
}
The in the command line, run: bp run test.json --loglevel frame
You should see something like this:

DEBUG - run - Running file test.json
DEBUG - animation_threading - Animation starts on main thread
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms

There may be a slight delay while it reboots the AllPixel and waits for it to restart, assuming no errors.

Let’s just make sure that works first and then we can go back to python scripts, if you want to. (Thought we highly recommend our json projects feature!)

Regarding power, I don’t think you need more. But it can never hurt! If you have a ~3A @ 5V adapter that fits the barrel jack on the AllPixel, definitely hook it up. In my test.json file above, you’ll see I set brightness to 64 (25%) which should help in testing. It’s unlikely your strip will draw too much power at that level.

Also, THANK YOU for such detailed information!

Let me know how that goes, and we can go from there

Cheers,

Adam

Hi!

This IS the test. At this point, you just gotta make sure it’s connected correctly. Not all strips are made the same. Ensure that V, Data, Clock, and Ground are all connected to the correct pin on the AllPixel.
Those should be labeled on the strip itself. Can you please take a picture of those labels and send to me?

All!
Have it working now…the issue was that the data and clock wires were not connect correctly to the board, had them backwards. After reviewing the document below and with Adam’s help I was able to get up and running. Thanks again!!!

You said:

Do I call this from a cmd window under python? Just need an example of running the command in windows shell.

Justin,

Hmm… no error messages is good.
For one, in that test script, can you try changing the log level line at the top to bibliopixel.log.setLogLevel('frame')?
It looks like I need to actually update that demo script as it’s got some older conventions.

But lets boil this down to something simpler… Save the following to a file named test.json

  {
"animation": {
"typename": "strip_test"
},
"driver": {
"num": 12,
"typename": "serial",
"c_order": "RGB",
"ledtype": "APA102"
},
"layout": {
"typename": "strip",
"brightness": 64,
"threadedUpdate": true
}
}
The in the command line, run: bp run test.json --loglevel frame
You should see something like this:

DEBUG - run - Running file test.json
DEBUG - animation_threading - Animation starts on main thread
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms
FRAME - animation - 0ms/1000fps / Frame: 0ms / Update: 0ms

There may be a slight delay while it reboots the AllPixel and waits for it to restart, assuming no errors.

Let’s just make sure that works first and then we can go back to python scripts, if you want to. (Thought we highly recommend our json projects feature!)

Regarding power, I don’t think you need more. But it can never hurt! If you have a ~3A @ 5V adapter that fits the barrel jack on the AllPixel, definitely hook it up. In my test.json file above, you’ll see I set brightness to 64 (25%) which should help in testing. It’s unlikely your strip will draw too much power at that level.

Also, THANK YOU for such detailed information!

Let me know how that goes, and we can go from there

Cheers,

Adam

Hi!
Over the winter break I picked up an AllPixelMini and a Dotstar LED Strip https://www.adafruit.com/product/2239 for a fun father and son (I work in tech) project. When I run the sample from https://github.com/ManiacalLabs/AllPixel/wiki/Library-Install-and-Strip-Example after updating to use type ‘APA102’ I hear windows make a sound like a USB was unplugged and the LED strip doesn’t do anything. I’m assuming that sound is the AllPixelMini rebooting as it only does it when I change types . I’m not receiving code error when running the script. Curious if I need to be pushing more power or if I missed a step? See below for details and thanks in advance for the help! - Justin
