I will pitch in whatever info I can to the tutorial too. It took me 6 hours to get my setup going... the learning curve is HUGE... but simple when you know what steps to take.

Just for the future. Statements like

Are demotivating for us - especially when i told you multiple times that there is no difference between x11 and boblight addon and it must be a configuration issue.
And we can't give sane default values because of the billions of different hardware setups and leds.

adalight, atmolight, lightpack, etc... combined with processing code, boblight, lightpack script, lightpack software, custom software, etc....
so far whats the benefits of one from the other?
right now am using adalight with processing its working ok but don't like the fact of processing running all the time and that there isn't too much to tuning like how to tune to fix the fact that some color dont match (it could be the power supply since i been having difficulty finding the correct PS, right know am using to test a computer PS i think is 5v 2A but dont know if is the correct rate as per the WS2801 datasheet it can take 6v, but is running ok.
what i want to know is whats the benefits of trying to add boblight to my mix (ws2801 strip 150 leds, arduino uno R3, adalight code(ledstream.pde) )
*also am on MAC

If you can't get boblight working, you might go for lightpack. Processing is the worst solution and it's blowing up your java process. I have experienced that on Windows.

Also one big question:
Earlier in this thread, bobo1on1 wrote that boblight 1.31b is not working with his XBMC addon but the boblightd in quixand thread is working like a charm. Did I miss anything?
Specifies the horizontal scanrange for this light, this setting is optional, the default is 0.0 100.0
This setting only has an effect for clients that react to an image like boblight-X11 and boblight-v4l. The syntax is hscan begin end.
Begin and end specify the percentage of the horizontal range the light should react to. Example: hscan 0.0 50.0
•vscan
Specifies the vertical scanrange for this light, same as hscan.
(2012-11-22, 00:48)Memphiz Wrote: raptorjr. And.i tell you that the addon doesn't ignore the settings in the boblight.conf (its not able to ignore it even if it wanted to). Both settings play a role in boblight configuration. In boblight.conf you tweak each color for fitting to the attached leds/hardware. Boblight addon is only able to tweak options which apply to all channels (saturation, treshhold and so on). Thats limited/intended by the client / server design of the whole boblight construct.
And thats why the defaults CAN'T be made more generic then they are. Because everyone can diddle in the boblight.conf as he wants and turning the defaults into crap.
TBH thats what you did...
