LED_sync

This is a DIY AmbiLight project with a RaspberryPi for MacOS. LED light strips are installed at the back of the monitor. The colour of every single LED shows different colour according to the colour change on the screen. The light strips extremely enhance the experience of watching movie.

This project does not require an external graphic capture card. All you need are a RPi, Mac, LED light strip and WiFi connection. Some AmbiLight projects require an external capture card which cost a lot.

In this project, the code will be slpitted into two parts. The first part captures the screen of Mac, progresses the data and send to the RaspberryPi through WiFi by TCP socket. The second part receives the data and sets the colour of the LED strip according to the data.
