I'm using Sk9822 with SPI
I've done the calibration in hyperion, I have set my white point a little towards red (to warm it up) and my gamma is 1.2,1.5,1.5
In dark scenes, it appears I get a glow of red, thus might just be a limitation of rgb not being able to provide very dull greys, colours everywhere else are perfect.
Any thoughts?
I meant the upvc bends
little 90 degrees bended metal brackets, with holes in them > can buy this at every hardware store
Can't find the bent pieces of conduit at any of my hardware shops, did you bend it yourself?
be creative is the key,
Sometimes out of your profession you get ideas or from others, what you can do is building from wood or pvc.
i choose to do it with pvc tubing ( electrical tubes 5/8 and 3/4) made a frame from that and stick the ledstrip on top..
so the leds is not pointed towards the wall but shining along the wall.you can do this, leds have a angle of 120 degrees that you can "play"with
What brackets are holding the pipe to the TV?
Is there an inexpensive way to make a frame?
Thanks I got libreelec and hyperion working, just no Leds to test properly yet, however looking at the back of my TV I have noticed I have a large gap on one side, how would you tackle the mounting of leds?
I have decided to get SK9822 LEDs from Aliexpress, I'm going to install Openelec for the time being and a Plex plugin so I can access my media that way.
This gets around needing to buy a HDMI loop for the short term.
Fantastic, thank you.
Fantastisch, danke.
I've searched for both 'splitter cec' and 'hdmi cec' and looked through 10 pages of results and didn't see anyone talking about soldering a wire to enable cec.
This splitter supports CEC on HDMI1
I hadn't considered this issue to until you posted, I've decided to abandon this project for now as losing CEC would be quite annoying.
Thanks @davieboy
My other question is, the back of my TV curves at the edges, should the strip be affixed to the actual rear rather than the side of the set?
My TV isn't wall mounted but it's within a couple of feet of it.
The stand runs along the bottom of the TV so would prevent the strip being placed there, do I just go either side of it?
Hi, I found this project because I was originally just looking at the bias lighting kits on amazon but wondered if there was a way to DIY Ambilight style lighting, I'm happy to find that there is!
I have bought a HDMI loop which another user has stated works in another thread on here, a lot of the tutorials refer to the 3 pin WS2812B but I've read that these are not the best option if you are planning to utilise the GPIO or SPI pins on the Rpi due to timing issues.
I'm struggling to find any of the other recommended LEDs for a reasonable price in the UK, I would rather do it right first time, but not if it involves twice the cost.
Another issue is that the 3pin corner connectors don't seem to be very readily available and/or are unreliable, I would rather not mess around soldering the corners if I can avoid it.
