Hi everyone. I am having a little trouble setting up my LEDs, here's my set up:
ws2801 led strips - 2 strips containing 64 leds
arduino uno
xbmcbuntu
I believe I have set everything up correctly following various blog posts but unfortunately when runnning boblight it will lose connection and the device will dissappear from /dev/. The only work around to this is to unplug and plug the arduino back in.
If I run boblight-x11 on a static colour background it will last indefinitely though.
If anyone could provide any help or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Sounds like an issue with the power unit then? (e.x. voltage for the arduino drops when the leds get into action).

At the moment it's only powered by the USB, I have power supply though but even when that's plugged into the arduino it seems to do it still.

But you have an extra power unit for the leds i hope?

Hello,
I do not use git. Can you add the few lines to the git-source-code by your own?
Kind regards,

I'm not Even sure if this is the right Approach hence i wanted a pull request for discussing purposes - there is xbmc 3D Support in the Works which might Even add autodetection. I guess Setting the 3D Mode in boblight settings will become annoying really quick when switching between 2D and 3D Movies - no?

Hi,
yes it is annoing. But currently there is no other possibility, because the addon could not ask XBMC for 2D/3D (sbs or t/b) movie.
I suggest to add the patch as it is, so the users have a working 3D mode in boblight (improvement to now!), which also works with older XBMC's (the new 3D-stuff will be not available in older XBMC's).
When you finished the 3D support in XBMC, you can add a 4'th value to the 3D-Mode enumeration, which enables the autodetection of XBMC.
e.g.
0->Off
1->SidyBySide
2->Top/Bottom
3->Auto
If Auto is selected the plugin only have to ask XBMC for current mode (half X or half Y).
Kind regards,
Uwe Heinritz.
