Hi Guys,
i just order my new TV, a quite cheap 55" Hisense UHD model, which i want to give the final touch with Hyperion.
I would like to check back to you if what i want to do is really possible.
So what sources do i have. That is quite easy. A LibreElec HTPC as well as a Windows PC for gaming. That means i dont want to struggle with USB Grabber etc. because i only use the TV as Display.
My plan was now to have the Grabber running on the HTPC and the PC. Hyperion will run on my 24/7 Ubuntu multi purpose TV Server. The LED's i like to hook up to an ESP8266. So the Setup would be really lightweight.
From what i have seen i will be needing an Level Shifter for the ESP so that the LED's get a clean high signal.
If i have read everything correctly the APA102 LED's are the way to go.
Would it be best to source them directly from China? Are 60LED's/m sufficient and which Power supply do i need? It would be roughly 4m of LED Stripe which means approx. 240LED's to light.
Have i forgot anything?
