Hi All,
I'm having problems with my Raspberry Pi + XBMC + Boblight setup.
I'm currently using this setup"
- HTPC - Windows 7 - XBMC - LAN
- R-Pi - Occidentalis - Boblightd - LAN
- 4 x 25 ws2801 LEDS
- 5v - 4A Power adapter.
Everything is connected as per diagram: http://boblight.googlecode.com/svn/wiki/diagram.png
I've powered the LEDS at the beginning and ending of the string (not in between).
PixelPi script seems to work great , also boblight-constant works out fine.
The boblight add-on in XBMC connects fine, no errors on the deamon side even.
Still, I checked results of other people on youtube and they seem to have far better results.
The screen lights up with it should light up, my result seems kinda 'messy' and lights up at places where i think it shouldn't.
Here's a short movie of my problem:

Did anyone experience the same problem?
I have no idea why the results are so different, i'm starting to think that i should've powered all strings directly not just the beginning and the end. Or maybe the sampling percentage (20% now) is too high and i should sample only 10% of the screen for the right color of LED.
Any other ideas? Thanks gents.
