Ambient Lighting with XBMC (Arduino) - avngl - 2012-04-20 Hey guys, I am thinking of adding some ambient lighting to my display. The only trouble is I have no experience in doing this. However, I want to try and do it. From my understanding, these are the parts that I would need. Arduino UNO Rev3 Development Board (LINK) RGB LED (LINK) ULN2003A to Control the LEDs (LINK) 12 V DC Supply (LINK) Are these enough for me to start building this project? Do I need anything else? And Once its built, how do i run it with XBMC? RE: Ambient Lighting with XBMC (Arduino) - phil65 - 2012-04-20 would be enough, yes. I´d suggest using some tlc5940 for example though, you´ll only have 2 channels with your setup otherwise (6 pwm outputs) With two tlc5940 you´d get 10 channels. that´s what i soldered together. to run it with xbmc: look in service addons section for boblight.
