@Egnos I didn’t know you want a picture too. Although this, this and this seem to have a picture of the article but better is to check them yourself to see if they fit your needs.

@Egnos Why don’t you try different modules?

@kayakbabe My problem was not the power because I power the led strip from external power supply. I figured out that somehow the GPIOs I wanted was not set as output mode and high state. I set them and everything is working fine. Thank you for your reply.

@BKeyport said in GPIO'S:

Smart LEDs are highly reliant on data timing being exact.

The problem is that except GPIO22 which working all other GPIOs I checked never worked. Even if the command show it works. Well if I do not get a valid answer from rasberry forum to fix it I won’t use the status leds. I can leave with that :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

@BKeyport Thank you for your reply. what do you mean bu saying that the problem is timing? I already have made a topic in rasberry forum and waiting for reply.

Hello builders. I have a problem with my rasberry. I want to connect a led strip to use it with GA status. I follow this guide to connect and control it but it seems that most of gpios do not work. Only one color lighted in the strip so I took a voltometer and connect the black wire to one of the rasberry’s grounds and the with the red one I start touching the gpios and only one of them had near 3.3v. All others was below 0.8v. Even when I run the script for the status I get the output tha GA is in listen status and so the GPIO17 should be in high state it has no power. Does anybody have an idea of what is going on? Are the GIPIOs dead? Thank you in advance.

@sdetweil No problem. I will visit the store again when he has the glass to see it myself and if it is possible to see it working. After I will make up my mind.

@sdetweil Hello. Thank you for your reply. So if it has a resonable price you think it is worth bying? Will it do the job?

Hello everyone. I found a local glass supplier (Greece) where I saw on his site that he sells TV MIRROR glass. So I visited the store to check it myself. He didn’t have in stock and he said he will receive new ones in September. Anyway he told me that this is not a regular glass and it need some kind of electricity to work and that if I buy it I would have to go my MM frame to him to install the glass. Have you heard something similar? Why it need electricity? What kind of glass is it? Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone. I recently installed MMM-Astro and it is working great except one thing. It doesn’t show the basic horoscope. When I set extend: true it shows only the extended information with mood, lucky numbers etc. No main sign information:

And when I set extend: false it shows only the mood, lucky number etc section:

Has anyone faced the same issue? Any suugestions are welcome.
