Solved BobLight for Dummies
#1
Hi,

I am wondering if there are instructions for setting up boblight suitable for dummies.

I read the Official XBMC boblight Addon pages, but frankly it made no sense to me... and not all the links on that page work. (of course I didn't read all 103 pages)

For example,

What hardware do I need eg... lights, controllers...Is this something that I buy off the shelf? or do I have to build it?

How do I connect it? Do I plug it into a USB?? and similar questions...

Thank you.

Hi blossom,

I do not know what kind of TV you have, but I can let you know, how my setup looks like with a 40":

1x http://www.adafruit.com/products/50
2x http://www.adafruit.com/products/322
1x http://www.adafruit.com/products/368
1* http://www.adafruit.com/products/276 (I used a German version with 20W 5V/4A)
1x http://www.adafruit.com/products/578

Then I followed the guide rome mentioned above.

If you use RPi instead of a HTPC your setup would be different. Then you won't use the ardino board...

I just wanna know which links are not working? Or are you refering to the content of the linked sites?
