Something is wrong with the boblight.conf you're using, for me to figure out what exactly, you need to upload it as a file somewhere, so not on a paste site.

You didn't mix zero with O on that devicename did you?

Hi, I've uploaded the file itself here:
Code:
[url=http://www.fileserve.com/file/2snfaXp/boblight.conf][b]File name: boblight.conf File size: 991 Bytes[/b][/url]is that OK?

no...checked that already....it's ttyACM0 (i.e. it ends with a zero)

It says otput instead of output.

thanks for spotting that! I'll have to try it out some time tomorrow evening - even though I'm pretty sure I must have changed that accidentally after trying to change the output port when it wouldn't work on ttyACM0.
Anyway...fingers crossed - and I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow
Thanks!

OK....so that solved the error I was getting. When i run $ boblightd& it seems to be able to connect to the arduino. However when i try running $ boblight-constant ff0000 or playing a video in xbmc, none of the LEDs are lighting up.
I'm sure it's not a circuit issue as i managed to make the circuit work fine on Windows.....could it be something to do with the Arduino pinouts that are being used?
can you tell me what the number of channels in boblight.conf actually refers to please?

led count x 3 (red, green, blue)

The channels in boblight.conf don't match the arduino pins, you should use channels 4, 5 and 6 as shown in the howto.
Also, set hscan to 0 100 since it's the only light you have.

Hi Bob, hi Memphiz,
i think i have a feature suggestion.
Would it be possible to send the current picture to two different boblight deamons?
I've got an adalight ambilight behind my tv and two 5 meter led strings on the ceiling.
It would be great to send the picture to the boblightd for my ambilight and also send the current picture to another boblightd which is configured only with 2 lights (for the two five meter led strings). So my whole living room would be illuminated in the current color of the video.
You get my idea?
Thank you two in advance.
You brought ambilight to the masses.
