Hi, great work! Thanks you!

I need a little help, I'm not so skilled and I don't understand ho to connect the led strip to GPIO (I have to cut in 4 pieces the led strip one for the side of the TV?).

Please can share a detailed Hw scheme?

Thanks you

Emanuele

I've just added a picture to the README that shows where the wires go.

As far as the strip cutting is concerned: Simply solder 4 wires to connect the cut-up strips again, connecting each pair of pins that has the same name on both parts of the strip. The strip already has solder pads and pin labels on all the places where you can cut it.
