Hi everyone! This project is still a work in progress but I would like to share with you the progress I have made so far, the direction I want to follow and gather some feedback or advice about it. I wanted to build an ambilight system for my TV but the problem I ran into was that I was and still …

Hi everyone, I finally got some time and courage to continue this project. I started developing the concept on my windows computer using the video library provided by the processing foundation. Sadly, I figure out the hard way that I can’t use that library with a Pi board so I used the glvideo lib…

Cool project - thanks for sharing the detailed write up @jb4x !

Hi everyone, Just a quick update, the project is not dead. I finally found some times to complete the frame: [Frame_01] [Frame_02] I also had some problem pairing the blueduino rev3 to my raspberry :crazy_face: It should be all good now. The only thing left is the code to send the data to th…

Alright guys, Today’s a really exciting day :smiley::smiley::star_struck: I finally got it to work! Here’s a video of how it performed: [Universal ambilight test 01] There are few points to improve though: The lights are flickering because of the camera feed The colors are not alw…

Very cool demo! In addition to flicker reduction, you might also try out a smoothing / crossfade operation with an adjustable duration – although if I understand right the original aesthetic of the ambilight is to be instantaneous.

Thank you @jeremydouglass for the feedback, really appreciated! :slight_smile: The problem I have with flicker reduction is that I think it is hardware related. I had huge trouble making it works and currently, for example, I can’t use the camera at more than 20 fps when I should, in theory, be abl…

I just linked this recent discussion of the Adafruit Adalight, which seems related to your project – [image] Annotation processing got disabled, since it requires a 1.6 compliant JVM Processing for Pi Thanks to the both of you for you replies and sorry for the delay. I a…
