Hello,
I am trying to turn on a addressable WS2812B RGB LED Strip with my Raspberry Pi 5 but it is not working and i think it is because the rpi_ws281x package is outdated for Raspberry Pi 5's but not sure.
I have used jumper cables from the LED strip like so:
Green cable from LED strip --> Pin 12 (GPIO 18)
White cable from LED strip --> Pin 6 (GND)
I am charging the LED strip externally with a 5V charger.
This is my simple program where i am only trying to turn the LED Strip red:When i run the above code i get this error:
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages/rpi_ws281x/rpi_ws281x.py", line 143, in begin
raise RuntimeError('ws2811_init failed with code {0} ({1})'.format(resp, str_resp))
RuntimeError: ws2811_init failed with code -3 (Hardware revision is not supported)
Segmentation fault
I could really use some help fast as i have a deadline with developing this. The minimum requirements i need the LED strip to do is to turn green and red. Please tell me if more information is needed to resolve this issue. Thanks!
