Ambilight-Arduino-part

This software part installs on your Arduino UNO and works with Ambilight for MacOS

Ambilight?

Ambilight (Ambient Lighting Technology) is a background lighting technology for televisions that was invented and patented by Philips Electronics.

Before use

Install FastLED library in your Arduino IDE

If you don't have FastLED library installed in Arduino IDE

Tools -> Manage Libraries -> FastLED -> install (worked with 3.3.2)

Add Library to the project

Sketch -> Include library -> FastLED

RGBW Leds

If you have RGBW (RGB+White) Leds use that library: https://github.com/sosiskus/FastLED-with-RGBW-leds

Configuration

Configure NUM_LEDS (number of addressable leds) Change DATA_PIN to that one you want to use. You have to know your Chipset FastLED.addLeds(YOUR_CHIP_HERE, DATA_PIN, YOUR_RGB_ORDER_HERE)

Connection scheme

Led strip uses much power so that's why it's impossible to user the same power Arduino uses. U need to connect another power supply (for exmaple, use one more usb cables (without data connection!!!))
