[QUOTE="john sproul, post: 1131559, member: 151999"] ok, so to make a long story short. initially, yes, i wanted to use the external capturing so i could use this setup say from my dvd player, or from my ps3 etc. i started out buying a bunch of parts. and they started slowly coming in. it wasnt until after that i was finding out firstly i ordered the wrong capture card. the stupid think is a complete knockoff and has the wrong chipset. its usb007 or something... nut the stk1160 or the fushicai. so i ordered one more, and afterwards the supplier souldnt confirm the chipset so to be sure i ordered one that clearly has the specification it is an stk1160 chipset. immediatly following this, i then discovered that i had ordered the wrong hdmi to component adapter. it was at this point that i kind of gave up for the time being about the ability to use this ambilight for the whole ordeal. i then ordered the ws2812 leds. later found out they werent supported on many devices etc. then i stumbled upon this forum. cant remember the first forums i was looking at and ive found so many "tutorials" by now that im even confused by what i need anymore. all i know is i have a raspberry pi 2, a few meters of ws2812b leds, apparently an inadequate power supply for the led's. i will try to source either a 5v6a power supply or i will buy one of those 5v10a ones and figure out how to power everything off of that. either way im assuming i need this arduino board and a better power supply for the leds. after that i will re-investigate into a powered hdmi to rca converter. after that i am hoping that wil be all i need.
