I have a few questions.
If I need me a AtmoLight I buy just about Boblight XBMC install and run AtmoLight? Can anyone add information.

I have a Xtreamer Ultra with Ubuntu, and Windows 7 OpenELEC
I would of course continue to use OpenELEC.

The question then: My colleague has a MacMini built in 2011. Can he use the addon Ambilight or so?

Thank for info

The BobLight addon is platform independent, the daemon must be run on a Linux distro or use the Cygwin version in my post above for windows.

it can be run on OSX as well, it runs just fine on mine -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOHbHwEvfW0

here is the LED holder for the back of the plasma screen and here is the boblightd compiled for osx

run it: boblightd -c boblight.conf

boblight.conf , /dev/tty.usbmodem621 will need tweaking depending on what your USB ports look like

Hi!
I have a 60" tv and ive read a few guides about building this and some say it wont manage the big tv/resolution of hd movies? Whats the maximum resolution or max amount of led "pixels" for smooth playback?

hi all,

i've just installed my adalight setup and run boblight, but i only achieve to make the first 25 led ribbon, the second doesn't do anything.

during initialize of the arduino, all ribbons bright, but with booblight, only first 25 leds, here is my conf file: http://pastebin.com/e5UgVqc5

i think the problem is there, but don't see it.

Anyone got this addon succesfully running on a OpenELEC x86_64 system?

It keeps asking for a missing library here.

Will only work if the boblight lib is compiled for 64 bit aswell. This has to be solved by the openelec devs imho.

i've found my mistake, i've got the wrong prefix in my config file !

Has anyone seen a hardware schematic utilizing the TI MSP-430 instead of an Arduino microcontroller? I've seen one in action, and found the code necessary to use it with a Boblight mod, but I can't seem to find the hardware schematic anywhere. Might be because the site is in German, but the video and source is here: http://www.jevermeister.de/2011/11/mein-...-boblight/

You need to change your prefix. Somewhere in this thread, there is an Arduino sketch for calculating the prefix. Look for that or just use this prefix:

channels 150
prefix 41 64 61 00 95 C0

That should work. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

EDIT: Solution already known. My bad.

Hello all!
I have an arduino uno, and I'm a windows user. I tried to get it works but I can't... I put ledstream.pde, when I launch boblightd.exe from boblight-1.3-beta1 the leds become red green blue. With boblight-getpixel it works quite good, so I think my boblight.conf is ok. I want to use the boblight addon but I can't. It says it failed to connect to boblightd.. I tried with boblightd.exe only, with boblightd and boblight-getpixel and nothing.
So I tried boblightd_r416 as draven187 said but same thing, failed to connect. The addon download librairies, it's ok, it's activate but nothing to do, I can't get it works...
Somebody can help? Thanks
Ps: sorry for my bad english

Maybe this http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1086741 or this http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1089572 will help.

Something else, anyone knows how to calculate prefix for boblight.conf? 75 leds?
