I'm running Kodi in a win 10 machine and boblightd in a Raspberry Pi connected to LPD8806 led stripes through SPI pins. I was used to use this setup for more than 2 years and it worked perfectly. Last week it stopped working (I did nothing to make it stop) and I can't figure what's going on.
Here is what happens:
If I turn KODI on: Message "Connected to Boblight" is showed, but the leds don't get on as they used to (even if I open a movie).
If I turn the Raspberry Pi/led stripes power off and on the led may turn on in random colors as they used to (so they have power).
If i command "sudo boblight-constant FFFF00" in the Pi it says "Connecting to boblight"..."Connection to boblight opened" but the leds don't get on too.
I measured the resistance from the cables going from the Pi to the stripes and they are close to 0, so the cables seems to be ok.
Anyone have any idea how to debug this problem?
