Hi folk.

I would like to introduce you my first (DIY) bartop.

(a year ago ...) When I planned to build my bartop, my idea was to make a Mario / Luigi theme (very classic), hence the red and greens buttons/sticks, but since, my little boy is become a big fan of Paw Patrol, so ...

Here is the first ever created "Paw Patrol Bartop" lol

I've created the theme with PhotoShop and I printed it on A4 sticky paper.
It took me few days to build this but I'm pretty happy of the overall result.

Hope you like it, my son love it!

Cédric.

Hello.

I can't get Hyperion to work on a Rpi4 with a fresh install of latest Recalbox (7.2.2 at this time).

I've a (real) USB LightPack and at start the usual rainbow is well working but next... nothing.

If I launch hyperion manually with

hyperiond /recalbox/share/system/configs/hyperion/hyperion.config.json

I have some useful logs

So I wondering if it's possible to use another grabber?
or if someone as a working config on a Rpi4 + R7.2?

Thanks for your help.

Hello.

Même soucis que sur ce post mais comme il est marqué "solved" alors qu'il ne l'est pas, je me permet d'en ré-ouvrir un... avec un peu + d'éléments ceci dit

Pour ma part, j'ai un (vrai) LightPack USB (donc rien à voir avec le SPI), sur un Rpi4 avec Recalbox 7.2.2 fresh install.

L'arc en ciel apparait bien et ensuite rien.

En lançant directement hyperion avec:

/etc/init.d/S25hyperion stop
hyperiond /recalbox/share/system/configs/hyperion/hyperion.config.json

on a des logs et on voit que le soucis vient (apparement) du "frame grabber"

et

A partir de là j'ai regardé si on pouvait spécifier un autre type de "grabber" pour recalbox mais je n'ai rien trouvé

En tout cas ça ne semble pas être lié au matériel / au light pack lui même.

Est-ce que quelqu'un aurait un "hyperion.config.json" qui fonctionne sur la même config (Rpi4/7.2.X) ?

Merchi.

@creaturefactory yeah, I don't know why but I don't receive the notifications even if I "watch" this post ... nothing, even in my spams folder, strange.

well, more WIP for you if it can help

@creaturefactory Hello.
Sorry for the late reply.
It's regular A4 paper, with no margins, and I have printed 14 pages:

• 1 for the marquee
• 3 for the panel
• 4 for the right side
• 4 for the left side
• 2 for the screen
  The hardest part was to do the fittings perfectly for each pages

Example:

Thank you all for your kind words
