Im using lightpack instead. Its working now out-of-the-box like with adalight. Take a look at my configurator. You'll see!

Your website is awesome smajor. I used that to configure my profiles. It would be cool to create a profile for 21:9 movies, so that lightpacks work with the black bars. Had to create a profile for a 1920x800 resolution and shift the widgets.

Nevertheless... awesome work Big Grin

Here is my adalight + lightpack setup on my good old Acer Aspire Revo R3610.

I haven't actually done anything yet, but I have a few arduinos hanging around and would like to put one to use.

The only thing I'm unsure about now is which strand to use. I would like 50 LEDs if possible. could someone post a link to the ones they used? or could I order two of the 25 LED strips from adafruit?

Great website BTW, I'm sure I'll put it to great use! Smile

Edit: I'm feel stupid. I now realize that the 25 LED strands from adafruit can be connected in series, thus 2x25 can become 1x50..... well that makes it easier. Sorry for the confusion

Thank You! Nice video!
Would it be ok to be able to adjust the black bars size? Whats the exact resolution of a fullhd 21:9 movie anyway? (You mentioned its about 800, I calculated 822.)
On a personal note: I newer really understand why would anybody bu ya tv on hard earned money, and go use just the 9x% of the screen. Smile I always use nonlinear stretch. Dont wana watch any black areas. Rolleyes

Its not easy to buy these led stripes in for example europe. But if Youre in the us You're lucky to be eble to buy from adafruit without horible postage cost.

I'm actually looking at this, as it would be cheaper then ordering two strips from adafruit

I just wanted to make sure it would work. I think I've figured it out now. I just need to order it and wait for it to arrive. PS, I'm in Canada

I believe the ones from adafruit are only 25 LED strands

I purchased the same 50 pcs WS2801 led pixel string from http://www.bestlightingbuy.com/ws2801-di...ixels.html for 69 bucks, much cheaper than from adafruit.

Big Grin Thank you very very much. Even the fact that you support boblight.conf now puts me in the mood to try boblight again.

Thanks a lot again.

I used your calculator for configuring my leds but i had problems getting the right setup.

Since i only have a led string with 25 leds i wanted them to be placed only on the sides and top but the calculator also uses bottom.

What i did was adding as much columns and lines that would fit my situation which then resulted in a lower sensitivity area size.

Would it be possible to disable area's in the calculator? for example top bottom if you only want to place leds on left/right area?
