Hello all,

I have Raspberry PI 3 v2. I initially installed the first code @EverythingSmartHome provided above. After a while, lights would not work sometimes. I decided to dive deeper and realized I am on the old version. I uninstalled the version I had with:
sudo apt remove hyperhdr
Remember to save your configurations, LED count and etc. All will be deleted
I tried to use @meictec 's code since it was the latest. However, it wouldn't work for me.
I tried to run uname -m and realized that my device architecture is armv7l, which latest 20beta1 does not support. At least they didn't have the file there. However v19 did have it. So I I change it to this, and worked fine. :)

wget https://github.com/awawa-dev/HyperHDR/releases/download/v19.0.0.0/HyperHDR-19.0.0.0-Linux-`uname -m`.deb

sudo sed -i '/^User/d' /etc/systemd/system/hyperhdr\@.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Are you still able to do his exact setup with the Pi Zero W? Because I can't even get the latest HyperHDR version running on the pi. Can you tell me more about your setup?

Yes, works for me on RPi 3B. I installed Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit or 64-bit, not shure).

Thanks for the reply and great to hear! Does the datapin from the LED strip connect at the same pin as if it was the Pi Zero?
