What are the LED strip requirements? #160

What needs to be running on the attached USB device to run these LEDs? I have some LEDs attached to a knock-off Arduino Uno I purchased as a kit (like this one) and was wondering what sketch this app expects the Arduino to be running.

Hey @alexwaibel I think you may be misunderstanding how to set up the hardware for this. You will want something like a raspberry pi (I used a pi zero with the google power/ethernet adapter) to control the LEDs. This app is simply delivering the screen data to a hyperion device running on the same network. You will want to look into instructions on how to get hyperion up an running before using this app.

@abrenoch thanks for the clarification! I didn't realize this app performs only the image capturing and not the LED integration, but that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for your help.
