thank you @schumi2004 I will try those settings when I go home

Hey guys,

Is there anyway to make the addon light up the leds with the average colour from all sampled zones, so all leds will be the same colour?

I guess just set vscan and hscan to 0-100 on all channels in conf.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong.

I downloaded the boblight from google code. Compiled like first post says.

I'm launching boblightd -f (I'm in ubuntu server). Should I launch boblightd-x11 instead of boblightd?

About config files I have this for 50 leds connected to an arduino:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/6808972/

I'm not sure if I'm missing something

I had the same configuration in the raspberry pi, and the leds worked really great.

Any ideas?

Try these settings/conf
50 leds conf http://pastebin.com/i5AunzH4
script.xbmc.boblight settings http://pastebin.com/UxVRSd5R

I tried these settings, work much better than mine.
So my problem is in boblight.conf. I was reading both files and the only thing that changes is the setting of the 3 main colors:

Your config:

[color]
name red
rgb FF0000
gamma 2.1
adjust 0.8
blacklevel 0.0

[color]
name green
rgb 00FF00
gamma 2.0
adjust 1.0
blacklevel 0.0

[color]
name blue
rgb 0000FF
gamma 2.1
adjust 0.5
blacklevel 0.0

My config:

[color]
name red
rgb FF0000
gamma 1.0
adjust 1.0
blacklevel 0.0

[color]
name green
rgb 00FF00
gamma 1.0
adjust 1.0
blacklevel 0.0

[color]
name blue
rgb 0000FF
gamma 1.0
adjust 1.0
blacklevel 0.0



I guess I can copy the positoin of the leds from my config to your config.

Thank you very much for the help!

Good idea and a plus is it that I could probably toggle between normal and one colour boblight with the remote.

From what I understand, the gamma/adjust setting in the .conf file is to be able to set different setting for each color. The setting in the XBMC addon if for all colors at once.

Also, the gamma setting is how much "glow" the color has. The adjust is just a way to give a stronger or weaker light.

Please correct me if I got it all wrong. =)

Hi everyone, I just received my Lightpack (the one from the Kickstarter) I'm trying to find how to set the up Boblight Deamon for Mac OS I already have the config file, by using the boblight config generator. I'm trying to get this working on a Mac Mini as my HTPC. Any help would be amazing.

Thanks

Having some trouble installing this on xbmcuntu for a lightpack... get the following error



No-one else seems to have had this issue recently - any thoughts?

Hello,

I'm new in this forum and I hope to get help.

I use XbmcBuntu on a Zotac Zbox ID18 and a Arduino Uno Board.
The boblightd and Xbmc Boblight Addon are generally working, but I want the LEDs to be turned off when the screen is dark. I figured out that the setting "threshold" should control this behaviour, but I can't find this setting in the Addon configuration at XBMC. I found these values at .xbmc/addons/script.xbmc.boblight/resources/settings.xml, but when I change these values, it has no influence.

I hope anybody can help me.

I got around to trying this and it works nicely! I think I prefer it like this for watching movies - its not so colorful and distracting but it still adds atmosphere. Plus I can switch between 1 coloyr and normal boblight via remote by restarting boblightd with the different configs.

Thanks

Great.

But I think it's possible to have non distracting settings even with about 15% grab at the edges.

My settings now are great I think. :-)

...

Does anyone know how the config works with 2 lightpacks?? I tried to set mine up as follows but I'm only getting 1 light pack to work this way. Always this this config I am getting a lot of flickering as well.


Any help getting these 2 packs up and running would be greatly appreciated.

Ludeboy:
isn't there a software (prismatik) to configure this...?

(2014-02-06, 22:23)Bub4 Wrote: [ -> ]Hello All,

First of all, thank you bobo1on1 and Memphiz for making this great addon...!

I don't have any other idea anymore but asking you guys.
Tried my best to setup the Boblight on my own, but in current stage it's like a big wall in front of me

Received the arduino uno and LEDs first to setup and this was working fine.
As stand alone, all of my 50 LEDs are blinking properly. As well in xbmc, if I use the export file - all is looking good.
Havent mounted the LED on TV, but RGB-Test was looking fine.

However, I like to use the boblightd which was made because of "my" request.
Big thanks to QoolBox and the Guys who supported him to do this:
http://www.positiv-it.fr/thecus/download....0_x64.rar
-> This is a boblightd for Thecus NAS Systems

After giving xbmc the NAS IP, the connection to boblightd was succesfull.

But... nothing happens and I have no idea why.

Following my boblight.conf:
http://pastebin.com/Y8hTLib8

I tried - as well - the correct [device] output, which should be tty.usbmodem621 for the Arduino Uno, shouldn't it...?

As from my understanding, there should be all included to get the connection.

It would be great, if anyone could help me to find what I'm doing wrong.
I'm using a Mac Mini 2010 - OS 10.7.5

(Another problem is, that the Arduino prevents OS startup if it is connected via USB.
If someone would have a tweak for this, it would be great...!)


Thank you very much for your support.

Edit: I'm using Frodo 12.3.
Please let me know, if you need any other information/logs.
Haven't added this, because I thought all is related to boblightd...
Would be glad, if someone could help

I guess the nas is linux based and you have some sort of shell access to it (ssh?).

Plugin in the arduino and do "dmesg" ... this should tell you how the device is called. If it is linux based it should be definitly prefixed with "/dev/" ... e.x. "/dev/tty.usbmodem621". But first you need to be sure how the device is called. It might even be that drivers for the arduino are missing on the nas.
