[QUOTE="rafi21, post: 1172151, member: 157165"] is this still the best method of having an HDMI input ambient tv display without buying those lightberry/kickstarter packs? I've already set up adalight using ws2812 leds and an arduino using a PC before discovering that people made a way to use any hdmi input with a raspberry. however all the ones i've found was using 2801 leds and this is first one i've seen that had a workaround for the 2812's. my only concern is that there are a lot of little devices just to make this work and was looking for a more elegant solution. and another question: unless its somewhere else in the settings not displayed in the screenshots of this tuturial, how do you tell the hyperion program how many led's you have and the way its configured? for instance, using ambibox on windows, i was able to set it up so that i have 104 led's and that the first led is in the middle of the bottom row going clockwise, and that the first/last leds of the horizontal strip are "overlaping" with the first/last led's of the vertical strips. heres a picture to help explain it: [URL]http://i.imgur.com/QLOoAkQ.jpg[/URL] thanks for your assistance [/QUOTE]
