New 318 LED Ambilight Clone with Teensy 3.2 Controller, OctoWS2811 Board + AmbiBox 2.1.7 Software

New SONY KD-77A1 77" 4K HDR OLED TV 5.3m ( 60 LED/m ) WS2812B LED Strips Teensy 3.2 on an OctoWS2811 Board AmbiBox 2.1.7 ( custom version for up to 400 LED ) Old DIY Ambilight Clone System with my new SONY KD-77A1 77" 4K HDR OLED TV. Hardware you need: WS2812B LED Strips http://tinyurl.com/gq4uk4y ( buy a little more in case you receive Strips with faulty LED's needing replacement ) Teensy 3.2 Controller http://tinyurl.com/bvrvs4 OctoWS2811 Adapter http://tinyurl.com/mvq2a7w Suitable 5V Power supply http://tinyurl.com/znoancn ( calculate 0.06A per LED with 20% additional reserves ) CAT6 Cable http://tinyurl.com/hj2jpvk Suitable Wires for powering the LED's Soldering Material Software you need: Arduino Installer http://tinyurl.com/osnz57o Teensyduino http://tinyurl.com/98bhbj2 AmbiBox http://tinyurl.com/j7u2u94 For the best results, you'll want to have the LED's mirror the dimensions of the SCREEN ( not the Frame around it ) as only then will the lighting on the back align properly with the content shown on the front. The strength of the Teensy 3.2 lies in the ability to drive up to 8 LED Strips simultaneously ( 4 Strips per CAT6 Cable ) which all need to be of equal length. On my setup with 3 Strips, each is 106 LED's long for a total of 318 LED. Software Installation: 1. Install Arduino Software 2. Install Teensyduino Software ( this will install the OctoWS2811 Libraries ) 3. Launch Arduino and GO: File - Examples - OctoWS2811 - Adalight 4. Change Line 47: Match the LED count to the amount of LED's PER Strip - In my case 106 5. Upload Code to Teensy 3.2 - You may have to press the button on the Teensy. 6. Install AmbiBox 7. Launch AmbiBox and change the "Number of Zones" to the TOTAL Amount of your LED's - In my case 318 8. In AmbiBox open "More Settings" 9. In AmbiBox select Device: Adalight 10. In AmbiBox select the COM-Port your Teensy is connected to. 11. In AmbiBox activate "Use Backlight" for the LED's to light up. 12. In AmbiBox select "Show Areas of Capture" then "Wizard Capture Zones" to start setting up your LED's for them to align with your Screen. 13. Save Profile. Hardware Installation: Each LED Strip will have two double Wires. Signal/Ground coming from the Teensy - Must be connected to at the beginning of the Strip ( arrows on the Strip will indicate which direction the Signal is flowing ) Power/Ground coming from the Power Supply - Can be attached wherever you want on the Strip - I choose the end of the Strip Opening the CAT6 Cable you'll find 4 colored Wires ( Signal ) with accompanying white Wires ( Ground ): Orange - Strip 1 Blue - Strip 2 Green - Strip 3 Brown - Strip 4 This is from the left to right while looking at the CAT6 RJ45 Connector with the Retention Hook on top and the Cable facing away from you. Technically it's possible to use the Teensy 3.2 without the OctoWS2811 Adapter for the CAT6 Cable but I really do recommend the use of it as it makes everything so much easier.
