Here is my setup
- pi zero
- logitech c270 camera
- apa102 (only 80 leds)
- 4 meters cable between leds and pi zero
- woodeen frame
All made of spare part, on my older TV i had an hyperion setup with pi zero, usb grabber + splitter.
I changed because of two reasons
- new TV, PS5, HDMI 2.1 : i didn't want compromise on HDMI flux and cheap 2.1 splitters doesn't exist
- Always add problems. sometimes grabber or splitter stop working for a second or mire. I restarded Hyperion instance 3 times a day. Sometime image stopped from beeing on TV
A wooden frame, pi zero in the old box containing all grabbers/splitters, hdmi cables.. He has planty of room now
Why the frame? Because ma TV is far from the wall (my room looks like a slice of pizza)
With the frame the lefty led strip can light up the left wall
Say hello to the camera
The green button switch on/off the system
The cable from pi to leds is hiddent between the floor and the wall. But it works with ESP8266 too.
Honestly, I thought the result would be "blah" and I am pleasantly surprised :
Next step :
- Replace the big white box with a small wood box to fit pi zero + webcam
- Bring the button closer to the couch avoid moving the camera by error when swichting off
