Using DotStar LED Strip on Odroid

Post by rbwilcoxon »

I am trying to use an odroid SBC to control a DotStar led strip over SPI.

I used the raw_write function found in the adafruit github library Adafruit_DotStar_Pi as an example, and created a minimal c function that writes out an array to the DotStar strip.

I tested this function on a Pi with success, but when I ported the code over to the odroid it didn't work. To debug, I shorted MOSI to MISO and could see that the message was in fact being sent...

Has anyone experienced the same problem, or maybe know a solution? I could provide my code sample if needed; the only difference between the code on the odroid and the pi is which header libraries are invoked

Check out the odriod site for help. The DotStars are not something we make and are used in many other systems and processors.
