Hi Guys, i hope someone can help me.
After playing around with RaPi it is time now for BeagleBoard. So i bought me a BBB. I was a bit confused that there is only this google group and no forum in a better "forum-style" what would be much better than this here. Ok, so what... What i would like to do is: Get my WS2801 LED´s running on the BBB via spidev That was no problem on my RaPi. But here at the BBB it is complete different. I read a lot about activating SPIDEV and it seems to be OK. i can activate SPI0 so i have /dev/spidev1.0 and i can also activate SPI1 when i disable HDMI at the optargs so i get /dev/spidev2.0 Next step are the wires. i need Clock and Data(MOSI) for the WS2801 LED´s. Am i right that at SPI0 these are 18 and 22 at P9 ? i tried a lot of combinations and every time i connect the WS2801 and activate the SPI0 the first LED is active and flashes orange. I am not a pro in programming but i hope i can find some help here. At the moment i use Debian Wheezy but i also tried the angstrom but i prefere to use debian but if i have to, i will change back to angstrom. So, it would be great if someone can give me a help to geht these LEDs wired and running.
