[QUOTE="john sproul, post: 1131522, member: 151999"] im very new to this ambilight stuff. it is stated above that "any" arduino uno r3 or above will be sufficient for this ambilighting project. so can i assume that buying a Arduino UNO R3 board with DIP ATmega328P would still be ok? i already have an rpi2, and the ws2812b rgb led's... but i only just found out that i still need one more component, being the arduino, which is fine as long as i am buying the correct part the first time around. i have already been through approximately 5 other parts that were not correct. now i am trying to make sure before purchasing, as this is meant to be a cheap hobby to keep me busy in slow seasons of construction. i should also add, that i will be powering the rp1 and the led strip separately with their own 5v2a power supplies, and i have the understanding that the arduino would power through the usb off of the rpi so another power adapter would not be needed... is this correct also?
