Ambient Light with Arduino and WS2811
The ambient lighting on this project turned out so well I wanted to try it on a normal TV. When making the back light for a second time, I used an Arduino Mini Pro with mini USB port. I did find a small hiccup, the baud rate needed to be changed to 115200 most likely due to limitations in the USB to serial chipset on the Mini Pro (CH-340). The refresh rates are still very good. I am also using less LEDs which may contribute: “device” : { “name” : “MyPi”, “type” : “adalight”, “output” : “/dev/ttyUSB0”, “rate” : 115200, “colorOrder” : “grb” }, In typical fashion, I’ve taken a pretty slap-`dash approach to the finish – the vertical LED’s are only tacked on using plastic tape which will most likely fall off when… Read More »Ambient Light with Arduino and WS2811
