Check with "boblight-constant ff" if the red from the leds is actually red, to rule out other issues.

I'll check tonight. Thanks for the hint.

@bobo1on1
Just tried what you suggested (although I had to use 'ff0000' instead of 'ff', else I got blue) and the light emitted by the LEDs is also pink, not red Sad

The plugin for my SAT receiver does create a nice, dark red under the same circumstances, so it can't bed the LEDs causing this behaviour with boblight. Would it help if I posted my boblight.conf?

Hi,

I've a karatelight on a Asrock 330HT ION.
I'm using XBMCbuntu.

When i reboot my htpc, sometimes karatelight is under /dev/ttyUSB0 and sometimes under /dev/ttyACM (or something like that).
So I have to edit /etc/boblight.conf (with the good interface) or reboot and cross finger :x

Can I fix /dev/ttyXXX where karatelight is detected ?
Is it possible to have 2 devices (1 on ACM, and the other on USB) in /etc/boblight.conf ?

EDIT : now OK ( => http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1166069 )

Hi,

i have a litte bit problems with the wirering and configuration from the pluxin (settings.xml)... (karatelight 8)

I have wired the LED so:
CH3 CH4
CH2 CH5
CH1 CH6
CH8 CH7

default settings.xml "modified" was this string:
<setting id="driver_param" value="COM3&proto:xAA|x12|CX|24|Gt1|Bt1|Rt1|Gt2|Bt2|Rt2|Gb1|Bb1|Rb1|Gb2|Bb2|Rb2|Gl1|Bl1|Rl1|Gl2|Bl2|Rl2|Gr1|Br1|Rr1|Gr2|Br2|Rr2" />

my own modifikation was this:
<setting id="driver_param" value="COM3&proto:xAA|x12|CX|24|Gl2|Bl2|Rl2|Gl1|Bl1|Rl1|Gt1|Bt1|Rt1|Gt2|Bt2|Rt2|Gr1|Br1|Rr1|Gr2|Br2|Rr2|Gb2|Bb2|Rb2|Gb1|Bb1|Rb1" />

but i think the coulors dosn't match with the first one..
my own is better but not perfectly..

i don't know wheres the problem.

Thanks a lot!
