Ribbon cables or extensions to wire inputs to the Arduino exemple.Single core wire to connect the 5V to the different converters etc.1x project enclosure (can be different, it is up to you, mine is 424mm x 203mm x 86mm) box.2x HDMI female to female enclosure connectors.I got mine from Aliexpress again and it works fine. (be carefull when chosing the grabber, some models will not work!!) This is the one I got and it works correctly. (this was enough for my 55inch tv) I have bought mine from Aliexpress. Not everything here will be needed depending on your own system and if you would like a LCD or not. I had to purchase quite a few different adapters to get it all working, but in the end the result is awesome and well worth it!! Not all of the sources have an HDMI output, like my computer is still connected through the old VGA connector and my Foxtel unit is still connected via AV cables. I have entered this instructable into the Raspberry PI 2016 contest so if you like it please drop me a quick vote! Much appreciated in advance. If you are looking to have ambilight available for every different inputs connected to your TV, want to use the WS2812 type led strips, then look no further, this tutorial is for you. I have added a LCD screen to display the current source being connected to the ambilight and an ON/OFF button for the system. All of these simply with the press of a button.
#HDMI AMBIENT LIGHT PS4#
I have it setup here to run with my PS4 system or my home theater/blu-ray player or my Foxtel (Australian cable tv box) or my computer and have a spare input left for something else. The system I have made can be connected to up to 5 different sources. It is whether the system is only made for 1 single source (PS4 or Xbox or TV etc.) or it is not using the same LED's as I wanted to use, so I decided to create an instructable and put together all the information and experience I gathered in one spot while making this project.
