For the moment i only test with a 12 and 16 LEDs ring but i'll plan to use 8 LEDs ring ( the smallest ) with my new Ambilight puck. The big ball in 16 LEDs falled down 2 hours before the ball with 12 LEDs. So maybe i can reach a 8-10 hours autonomy if i'm optimist.

Is pretty good i guess for a 1000 mah battery and Wifi use. Do you think that a Bluetooth Low Energy use will take less power than Wifi ?

I have another project using only Digispark or Adafruit Trinket and i reached a day, 1 day and half with 7 SK6812 Mini but no Wifi in this one. ( Mini or not the LED are the same, 5mm 5050. 3528 Ring Adressable LEDs exist ?? and if yes it will take less power ? )

I know that SK6812 RGBW took 80 mA per LEDs so it's not an option, maybe the SK6812 RGB need less energy than WS2812B. What is the good model choice and the good number ? 4 like the Lightpack Pixels but not feasible without soldering....
Too many questions lol

Note that my little baby work on sector too but a wireless solution is more in the mood of the time.

Sorry if my English is broken... i try to practice without my friend Google Translation :facepalm: and the french have a reputation to speak english like a **** :p

Here an interesting project using camera in relation with hyperion : https://github.com/ch1bo/ambicam

AmbiCam
Scripts for extracting LED Colors for "AmbiLight"-Clones using a RaspberryPi and the PiCamera.

NOTE This is a pre-alpha, work-in-progress, hobby project and is not (yet) destined to work for anybody else than my setup.

TODO

• Use Hyperion LED geometry (from config)
• Fix / re-enable custom warping of the border regions
• Automatic calibration using OpenCV and controlling leds
• Configurable border, offset, blurring and mean calculations
• Proper blackborder detection

Thank you both for answering.

In fact i use Digispark and HC Module because it can be easily replace my ESP-01 but i also build Ambilight big ball with an Amica NodeMCU. Change for an ESP32 will not be a problem.

I already ordered a piece of ESP32 for testing and 1m of SK6812 RGBW.

Just for information i already have at home many ws2812b ring in 8 and 12 LEDS, 4m in SK6812 RGB and 1m in SK6812 RGB mini in 5mm, 1m of WS2813 and 5m of SK9822, 3 Hue Lamp and 2 Yeelight, 5 ESP-01, 5 NodeMCU Amica ( v2 ) and 5 NodeMCU Lolin ( v3 ) so if you want a beta tester i'm the man of all situation lol.

As i wrote many Ambilight tutorial ( for free, no pub, no money nothing and that's what i would, share information for the french community and learning indeed ) i need all this stuff

But this is not the point, if we can ( not me lol ) have something working in bluetooth that will be a good thing because 6 hours autonomy is very poor. ( compare to the 3 days Lightpack Pixels but with a battery x3 larger ).

Thank you @Rick164

I'm very proud you appreciate a piece of my work lol. When i read your answer i understood that it's possible but developpers need to make few adjustements to get it working.
Maybe it's not on the top of their lists and perhaps, one day, we will see this feature available.( it's hard to become a developper for me :eek:, i took the wrong way :crying: )

Nevermind, I also saw on an old post that somebody asking about making Ambilight Over Bluetooth. When i got my HC05 and HC06 Bluetooth module normally in few days i will test to make it working on my installation with my Odroid C2 or Pi Zero with Staff Members given advices. It will be a begining for me with Bluetooth device and a consolation price.

I already saw many project using a Camera like Rambilight or AmbiCam and few other ( 3 or 4 i guess )... I tried to get it working with PiCamera and Hyperion but big problem with border color detection following the imprecise camera capture and invevitably need use of OpenCV instead. That the reason i propose a tutorial for Hue Like and not Ambilight using a camera.

Nobody in Hyperion team working on this feature ?

So, you can check my other hyperion-project post where i show the majority of my work here https://hyperion-project.org/t…ts-hope-you-like-it.1454/

And maybe i will have a Wow ! once again :omg:

Thank you again for your answer.

Hi, I'm AmbiMod, the French Ambilight crazy guy.

I wish present many of my Ambilight gadgets like that you can see all my work and maybe do the same or better than me. ( I'm not a professional 3D Designer, i learned by myself and practice many hours per day since more than a year ).

Ambilight Puck ( upgraded version of below ) :

Old Prototype after printing ( and modification needed ) :

1st version of Ambilight Puck :

Mini Ambilight ball and big Ambilight Ball on Wireless Docking Station :

Laptop Led Support :

And my biggest support for TV ( in working ) :

Arduino Nano / NodeMCU / ESP-01 All in One Box ( The same above and Vesa Mount capable )

My AmbiPibox/ AmbiPiNas/ Disksation 3in1 Box

You can do that if you want :

And the box is Vesa Mount capable ( on the X structure see above

My old AmbiPiBox case :

Odroid C2 + Raspberry Pi Zero and Hub USB UUgear + VideoGrabber

And some not in presentation. You can see all my previous work here https://ambimod.jimdo.com/boitier-pi-et-ambilight/ or https://ambimod.jimdo.com/projet/ and for french users ( or others with google translation ), you can read all my tutorial on the blog https://ambimod.jimdo.com

A crazy Ambilight guy as i told you :whistle:

Thanks for reading or just watching.

Ok super. Et oui effectivement les LEDs ne s'allument pas tant que tu n'envoi pas d'informations, c'est bete mais bon on peut pas faire autrement.

Sinon pour les Splitter moi aussi j'en ai un qui est un peu capricieux, Output 1 Ok mais pas Output 2,bref.

Pour l'extension en fait c'est pour les dispositifs autres que les Pi utilisant Kodi. Quand tu install Hyperion sur le Pi il gère l'extension nativement via le FramGrabber alors que sur un Kodi sous Windows il n'y a pas moyen d'installer Hyperion, donc on passe par l'extension Kodi pour faire le lien.

Ensuite pour Hyperion Screen Capture c'est un peu la même chose, faire le lien entre le Client Hyperion ( Screen Capture ) et le serveur Hyperion qui se trouve sur un Pi mais qui ne se limite plus à Kodi.

La nouvelle version 2.3 est fantastique car elle gère le Directx11, la 4K... Pratique si tu veux faire de l'Ambilight Over The Air sans passer par le décodage matériel HDMI traditionnel...

Merci pour ton commentaire en tout cas, ça me fait plaisir surtout que je me suis donné du mal et pas que pour celui la lol.

En fait j’étais venu à l'origine pour poster un message sur une fonction que je souhaiterais avoir et j'en ai profité pour parler de mes créations.
Pour jeter un oeil c'est la https://hyperion-project.org/t…ore-sorry.1201/#post-8335

Bref, tout est rentré dans l'ordre c'est l'essentiel.

@bientôt.

PS : J'ai arrêté mon blog et désactivé les messages sur les tutos. Seul mon papier de fermeture de blog permet de poster un message.

Salut,

Vu que tu as suivi un de mes tutos je peux peut-être t'aider à faire marcher ton install.

Tu as utilisés quel type de LEDs ? On peut reprendre ensemble en détail ce que tu as fait aussi.

Hi,

I'm AmbiMod, a very big fan of Hyperion and a compulsive user. :omg:

I have a blog in french where people can find a lot information to make an Ambilight using a Raspberry/Odroid..., Different information to understand Ambilight DIY or in Kit and many installation option with Hue Like ( AtmoOrb ), MutliZones LEDStrip with NodeMcu/ESP-01 using Forwarding, use Philips Hue in combinaison with an Ambilight and Hue Like if needed, Hue Like by using camera and a lot of Adalight solution like Ambibox, Prismatik, Adrilight and Synlight ( using a NodeMCU and Wifi ) ....

To take a look it can be found here http://ambimod.jimdo.com. ( In French Sorry ).

I'm actually working on my last version of Ambilight Box and plan to propose it on my Website Ambishop.jimdo.com in a few months.

In fact this is a 3 in 1 product. A DiskStation ( for 2 HDD/SSD in SATA3 or USB3 ), an AmbiPiNas box ( Ambilight possible but with minus possibility and a one Disk on the top ) and an AmbiPiBox for different Pi ( Raspberry, Odroid.. ) and for all configuration possible like Videograbber alone, Splitter + Grabber HDMI, Splitter + Grabber RCA + Videograbber..., and 4K HDR 18GBPs solution with a Splitter 4K + Downscaler and Grabber HDMI

Here you can find an exemple with 2 HDD on the 1st picture, the empty box ( the base ) on the 2nd picture and all the possibility in the 3rd.

I'm not here to talk about my BOX but this in an introduction to present all projects and mostly one, my LightPack 2 Pixels Like.

I reproduce the Pixel using the AtmoOrb system. I combine an ESP-01 ( or a NodeMCU Amica ) with a TP4056 Lipo Charger, a 1000 mah battery and i put all of this in my Ambilight puck. Here you can see what it looks like :

and a vidéo where you can see my old Ambilight Ball prototype ( Autonomy in use 6 hours )

And with a Picamera ( 1st beta test vidéo without configuration... ) :

More vidéos if you want here https://ambimod.jimdo.com/vidéos/

I made a new puck with bluetooth possibility using a Digispark and a HC05 Module or an ESP01 to use Wifi. I change the On/Off Switch by a 3D printer Level Switch for an easier use.

Now i can ask my question lol :

Could it be possible to adapt AtmoOrb to use the Bluetooth instead Wifi ?

I'm very good in Ambilight..., pretty good in 3D drawing but a Zero in programmation so that's the reason i ask for help.
I already found this Github to made a Bluetooth Adalight but it's not what i'm looking for.
Here for info https://github.com/alanwoolley/adalight_bluetooth

Thank you in advance for reading and for your anwers.

PS : Thanks all the developper and people making Hyperion very essential and awesome.

Specially @penfold42 @redPanther @BioHaZard1 @Sabaat Ahmad @Brindosch @Rick164 and many others.
