OK, so.. i've read almost this whole tread, but still no changing colors :S
running XBMCbuntu
have the Arduino programmed on the Windows PC
- arduino.exe -> File, Sketchbook, LEDstream -> Extra, Board, Arduino UNO -> Extra, SerielePoort, Port 5 (only port) -> Upload.
Arduino connected to the HTPC (running XBMCbuntu), Data, Clock, Ground and USB.
when the ardiuno gets connected, I get a R,G,B, sweep on all LED's so, that is working.
Boblight.conf eddited (http://pastebin.com/zz311fT9)
Boblight file copyed to HTPC (/etc/ map)
HTPC rebooted.
Boblight add-on gives a "Failed to connect to server"
So, started putty and runed "sudo boblightd -f"
that one runs nicely
Boblight add-on restarted, and now it gives a nice "Connected to boblightd"
but... Still no colors in movies, no colors when i select to only output one color in the settings menu.
What am i doing wrong?
and. Do i need to always run the boblightd -f on startup to use the boblight/ambilight? if so, how to make it "autorun"?
ps.
Have an AMD CPU and a AMD Graphicscard (installed latests drivers), running by HDMI to my Onkyo and from there to the TV
