[QUOTE="Ti133700N, post: 1217664, member: 161345"] I've been looking for an AmbiLight solution for months now and I'm still not 100% sure how to proceed. I've looked at the existing pre-made solutions and they do not seem to fit exactly what I am looking for (either bad reviews / bad led quality / bad softwares etc.) So I'm trying to find out how I can build my own. [USER=18896]@RoChess[/USER] I think my situation is somewhat close to yours. What I have: [LIST] [*]4K TV [*]HTPC [/LIST] What I want/don't want: [LIST] [*]I only want to use my HTPC as source (single source, single output) [*]I don't want to use a video capture [*]I want to use the APA102 LEDs [/LIST] It seems most of the tutorials I could find are about using a RPI as a media center or to process via HDMI. I would like, what would seem to me, to be a very simple solution where I would have Hyperion installed on my HTPC and would connect the LEDs via USB (for sending data). It seems to me like all I would need is a USB to LED adapter with a power adapter to power the leds. Does such thing exists ? If not, could I build one using an Arduino (no soldering ?). Or am I missing something here ? Thanks ! [/QUOTE]
