MrBoe / Bambilight

A simple implementation to send the colors from a Windows-PC-Screen to a LED-Strip over Arduino. Maybe some people would call it "Ambilight" ;)

Hi, thank you for making this awesome software !

But I got an issue with the green color, when the LED strip is supposed to become green there is no changes. 20161025_235039 20161025_235057 20161025_235050

But when it's only a part of the screen it seems to works fine, except sometimes it froze for a while and work fine right after.

Anyone else have this bug ?

I'm using an arduino uno, WS2811, Windows 10, FastLED 3.1.3 and the last version of bambilight released when I'm writing.

Thank you

Interesting, if you do not connect the arduino to the pc but to a usb power adapter (to bring it in animation mode), do you see green there?

Also interesting is, that it works at all on windows 10 for you because there were me and some others were this did not work at all. I forked the complete project, made at 10x faster and replace the screencapture method with the windows desktop duplication api. works on windows 10, if you like, give it a shot and try out, whether your green is working then. https://github.com/fabsenet/adrilight/releases

Thank you for your answer, I got green on bambilight but for example in a test video where the colors are rotating sometimes the ambilight is freezing for 1 second. sans titre

This seems to happen only when there is green.

With your adrilight I don't get those bugs, and it use less CPU so I will use your version now 😄

Thank you
