My Pi and Ambilight set up is finished, I got the rainbow swirl and everything.
However my lights are flickering a bit sometimes.
I used 158 APA102 lights for my tv (10 amps), for a length of 19 feet (82 inch tv). I used 17 awg primary wire (IS PRIMARY WIRE OK? it said on packaging for automotive use)
Currently I have the beginning and end strip's GND and 5V (all at the BOTTOM RIGHT) linked to a terminal strip and then linked to the 5V 15 A power supply.
I figured since there are 9 feet of LED STRIPS going clockwise from BOTTOM RIGHT and counterclockwise from BOTTOM RIGHT, that I would need to wire the 5V from led at TOP LEFT to the positive power supply and GND to the negative power supply terminal strip.
I still have one more question before I try this.Since at the BOTTOM RIGHT I have a male to female connected to the gpio pin 6 for grounding, will I also have to ground the TOP LEFT corner? Or is it like DI/CI CO/DO where I only need to have the signal go one direction.
My main questions are underlined.
In the video. white circle is BOTTOM RIGHT and yellow circle is TOP LEFT (ssorry for mixmatching)
You can see flicker near the white circle in this video
