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" ;)

The Arduino sketch is written in standard C and the Windows application in C#.

Changelog:

11.03.2016 - V1.0.0.1

02.03.2016 - V1.0.0.0

Requirements:

How to use:

!!! If you just want to use Bambilight without compiling the Windows application by yourself, you only need the contents of the "Binary" folder and the bambilight.ino Arduino sketch. !!!

  1. Customize the .ino sketch (NUM_LEDS, LED_DATA_PIN, LED_TYPE) and flash it to your arduino device.

  2. Connect the arranged LED-Stripe to your arduino device and the arduino to your PC.

  3. Start the Bambilight tool and configure your screen setup (maybe overlay mode helps).
