Hyperion + LED APA102

[tino]

Hello Recalboxers,

I want to add some ambilight to my recalbox. I use the APA102 LEDs and set it up like this (from the hyperion tutorial):

Unfortunately it doesn't work. Now im searching for the problem.
I checked the wiring a view times and couldn't find a mistake.

Maybe I made a mistake when setting up Recalbox for Hyperion. This is what i've done so far:

• update to recalbox 17.11.10.2
• copy my hyperion.config.json to /recalbox/share/system/config/hyperion/hyperion.config.json
• enable hyperion in recalbox.conf

3/4 of the LED stripe lights up when starting the Pi. But then the LEDs do nothing. Seems to me like the LEDs don't get a signal from the DI / CI GPIOs. When I checked the Hyperion status via ssh I get the following Error:

Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

Thanks
