[App] libAmbiLight E/F/H (MST-only)

[adonis]

I developed lib first on E and I'm able to confirm all RAW/BMP -as well as all other- features are working there.

Ok, so maybe E/H series works well with RAW/BMP, and F is the only issue-maker here

Actually I had stopped at a point where everybody (=all concerned series) were able to make at least some screenshot using one of proposed methods, and in no way I ever intended lib for any "realtime" usage: it's likely that there are smarter ways to do for that purpose.

I've had it running and no problem with real-time or whatsoever... So, you did a great pre-job here

Code: Select all

You can ajust the pixel direction in the libAmbilight params.

My LED-Stripe arrives this week and I wanna build everything for my TV in Bedroom. So where and what for settings I have to do for gettting good Ambilight? Do your have an example?

Thx forward

Yes I've read first post, but which parameter is for upside-down?

[bobiturboto]

You can try with REVERSE

so imagine, you have somethin like this: RRRGGBBBWW (red, green, blue, white)

with REVERSE:1 it would be WWBBBGGRRR

with OFFSET:3 it would be BWWRRRGGB (push by 3 pixels)

and with OFFSET:3 REVERSE:1 it would be RRRWWBBBGG

Thx a lot for your help

Yesterday I started to test on my TV in my bedroom with my new LED's and it seems to work. But the LED's where as shipped on a role and the number couldn't be right. But for testing if everything works it was enough.

Today I start on my TV in Livingroom but everytime I start Ambilight over console my TV crashes, but Screenshots I could make and everything works well. Maybe my Settings are fault.

I start with following over console to test if everything works:

Code: Select all

samyGOso -d -T -B -r -l /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso/libAmbiLight.so H_LEDS:101 V_LEDS:58 SERVER_IP:192.168.1.15 SERVER_PORT:5050 OFFSET:24 REVERSE:1

And here is my modified Sketch:

Code: Select all

#define NUM_LEDS 159

#define DATA_PIN 2
#define CLOCK_PIN 0

#define COLOR_ORDER RBG

#define serialRate 115200
#define MAX_BUFFER 512
#define FADE_STEPS 10
#define LOSE_TOLERANCE 250000 // tolerance while no data is received keeps previous leds, otherwise turns leds off

#define UDP_PORT 5050

CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];
CRGB new_leds[NUM_LEDS];
CRGB fade_amount[NUM_LEDS];

const char* ssid = "XXX"; // WIFI name
const char* password =  "XXXXXXXX"; //WiFi password

I only changed the Number of LED's and Settings for my WIFI.

On the Picture I illustrated how my hardware looks like.

Maybe you can tell me what I've done wrong.

Got an H Series with T-GFS Firmware. Only working with ALT method for me.

lol... you should not use the whole count of your H_LEDS and V_LEDS, just how many are on each side... sorry... I'll update the documentation to clearify that.
in your case it should be something like H_LEDS:55 and V_LEDS:29 - though having an odd number is a bit strange.

Well I've tried with lower settings for LED but the TV crashes

With these settings it crashs

Code: Select all

samyGOso -d -T -B -r -l /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso/libAmbiLight.so H_LEDS:55 V_LEDS:29 SERVER_IP:192.168.1.15 SERVER_PORT:5050 OFFSET:10 REVERSE:1

With your test settings it works

Code: Select all

samyGOso -d -T -B -r -l /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso/libAmbiLight.so H_LEDS:36 V_LEDS:18 SERVER_IP:192.168.1.15 SERVER_PORT:5050 OFFSET:17 REVERSE:0

Is there maybe a limit for number of LED's?

And what about my hardwaresetting? ON Top I have 53 LED'S and on Bottom only 48?
Is the Run-Direction of LED's important? Because my LED's runs from the middle of TV to right direction (Invers Clockwise).
