Lightberry HD (adalight apa102) not working

[Knurlnheim]

Hello

I have a Lightberry HD LED kit that is working with the old hyperion. I wanted to upgrade to HyperHDR but I Cannot get it to work...
My config :

Here's a log extract :

Well, usually ACM0 is bluetooth device on Rpi3/4 but identifier is for Arduino. Which Rpi version?

[awawa-dev]

why are you using 115200 instead of 500000 that was working on the Rpi3?

[awawa-dev]

verify if latch time is the same as on Rpi3 too

[Knurlnheim]

I don't know the latch time, afaik it's not in the hyperion.config.json file...
As for the baudrate, I just left he default. I just tested it with 500000, no change.

[Knurlnheim]

You mentioned firmware update for the Lightberry... Any idea where I can find the most up to date ?

[Knurlnheim]

Tested on a Pi 2B, still no luck.
Found the firmware upgrade, I'll try flashing the device.

[Knurlnheim]

Ok, I got it working -- by blind luck, in fact...
I finally tried with a PC, the Linux x64 version of HyperHDR and fumbling with plug-in/out and the settings. At some point the errors disappeared. That got me thinking and with a copious amount of googling (particularly hyperion-project/hyperion.ng#1135), I found the problem.
Silly me, really : the Leonardo goes to sleep if it doesn't receive a command in the 15 seconds after being plugged in (USB to host).
When I tried with the various raspberry pi, I had to go behind the TV to plug in the hardware, and by the time I got back to the laptop to try some settings or commands, the 15 seconds had elapsed...

Anyway, sorry for the annoyance !
And thank you very much for your fine piece of software, and your assistance.
Have a nice day :-)
