Perfect! I hope other people who purchased ambiled in the past can benefit from this post.

Ciao

Variants of red? Really strange.
Please note that one of those sketch makes a sequance of flashing lifghts on startup - that one IS NOT the right sketch.
Use the other one.

I think that if you get the white dim once you power up the ambiled, it means ambiled is ok and you can move to json config.

Well... i think ambiled cabling is really simple, please check so we can exclude this kind of issue.
Please remember that the driver unit has a usb input that comes from raspberry and a separate power source. My kit, and i think also yours, uses WS2812B - these are 3 wires led stripes, and must be connected to the driver unit.

To upload the sketch... download arduino IDE, open it and then paste the test from sketch_2.txt. I think this is the right sketch.
Please check in arduino ide that you are using the right port, the right board (nano) and the right chip (ATmega328).
(did you installed in your libraries adafruit_neopixel.h, RIGHT? I don't think compile will work wihtout that but please check)

After sketch uploading, shut down the power stripe then power up again. You should see a "lamp", a "faded light" from the led strip. If this happens, it means the stripe and the driver are ready to go.
And so, you can move to json file.

Let me know! Please confirm the sketch used, so other users can benefit from this info.

The kit is 100% original, never been touched.
The ambiled driver is an arduino nano using ATMEGA328 chip. While checking the controller pcb, i noticed it has already onboard all the "stuff" needed in many hyperion projects i saw in the past 10 days. So diodes, resistors, all in.
After all, ambiled was almost a plug and play solution.

So now download arduino ide, upload configuration and then use the json provided. But as i told you, right after sketch upload you could see the flashing start effect of ambiled.

ok, did some work and now is back online
Basically, is an arduino nano where pin n.2 is the one used for data. Attached dyou'll find my .ino sketch, to upload on ambiled driver, and the json file for hyperion.
One thing - i packed this file on the fly, there are two arduino sketches and i don't know which one works (i think the right one is sketch_2.txt)
Please test them, both. The working one will make on ambiled startup the light swirl as you seen many times.

The json file is for a 176 led config, please check the usb port is the one you are using.
Connect everything as from ambiled originla instructions.

Let me know!

Thank you very much. I use a Rpi3 with latest kodi, won't be too stressing for rpi hardware?

Hello everybody - sorry if this question has already been posted somewhere but it's two days i bang my head through many tutorials, never get my hyperion system working.
I have an old ambiled kit from flytron, with 176 led ws2812b. The controller between my raspi and leds is an arduino nano.
Worked great for a year.
Two days ago i reinstalled from scratch my mediacenter OSMC and hyperion is not working at all.
Can someone give me some guideline about install fastled sketch on the controller? And of course where to find the sketch!

tnx in advance

All support seems to be closed and almost all referenced pages are not longer available. But after some hours with google I finally found different firmwares for the Ambiled. One of these firmwares is a Adalight implementation. I flashed this on the controller and now it works with the current hyperion version.

Same problem here, where did you found new firmware for ambiled?
