Yes this is possible

I'm wondering if the baud rate (115200) on my Arduino setup is to slow, as i'm using 240 LEDs total. When i run boblightd with debugging enabled it almost looks as if Kodi Boblight isn't sending out the updates quick enough. Any insights or advice would be appreciated!

all ordered from DX.com for $58.
12MM RGB Bare Point Source Red/Green/Blue 50-LED String light
Arduino Compatible UNO Rev3 Development Board
5V 3A Wall Power Adapter for Scanner / Router + More (US Plug / 5.5 x 2.1mm)
Male + Female DC Power Converter Connector Adapters w/ Terminal Blocks For CCTV Camera (Pair)
The LEDs are LPD6803. cheap and works great.

Planning on building an ambilight setup for my livingroom. I have been looking for tutorials etc., but I cannot really find anything that is up to date and elaborate enough to get me started.
I have a 4K UHD TV(Sony), with an AVR receiver connected and an NVIDIA Shield hooked up to it. I am running SPMC on the Shield for all my media. Also I do have a Raspberry Pi 3 lying around.
Can anyone guide me about which LED's and what other stuff I need to buy to get going? And also, if anyone can link me to a guide to getting it set up, that would be awesome.
Thank you in advance, and my apologies if the information is widely available, and that I am just being blinded by the massive amount of info.

Actually now I want to get rid of the Raspberry and use the Lightberry straight with my HTPC. At the same time I am replacing my NVIDIA Shield with an Intel NUC with Windows 10, so I have to figure out how to get that to work.(2017-02-13, 00:10)johnjohn22 Wrote: Hey there!

Were you ever able to get you amilight setup to work with an NVIDIA Shield. I am trying to move my main HTPC from WIndows (where Boblight works lie a champ) to the NVidia Shield (sImplier setup).
Was hoping to get the ambient lighting to work with the Shield.
