| - | Hi everybody, this is Ladyada speaking! So far, I've been writing pretty much all the tutorials on the site but I'd like to introduce someone who is going to be doing some really really awesome LED projects and tutorials. First off is a simple but comprehensive "Ambient Light" project for your computer using digital RGB pixels to simplify wiring. \\ Take it away, [[http://www.paintyourdragon.com|Phil B]]! | + | Hi everybody, this is Ladyada speaking!

| As a first demonstration, we’ll build a simple "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambilight|Ambilight]]" clone. //[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambilight|Ambilight]]// is a [[http://www.seductionbylight.com/|feature of some Philips televisions that projects colored light onto the wall behind the display]], synchronized with the content on the screen to create an immersive effect. The authentic Philips system is well-integrated into the TV and works from any video source. Our facsimile, being computer-driven, works specifically with media content from your PC. This means its perfect for watching Youtube, TV or Movies on your PC or playing games! | As a first demonstration, we’ll build a simple "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambilight|Ambilight]]" clone. //[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambilight|Ambilight]]// is a [[http://www.seductionbylight.com/|feature of some Philips televisions that projects colored light onto the wall behind the display]], synchronized with the content on the screen to create an immersive effect.

| + | Triple check that your power supply is a 5V supply! Any higher than that could damage the LEDs and Arduino! Even if you got a pack (one person accidentally received a 9V supply) **CHECK IT AGAIN BEFORE USING** | ||

| - | The wire colors for these LEDs have changed over time, so use this photo for mechanical reference only, not necessarily for wire colors. The [[http://www.ladyada.net/products/rgbledpixel/|Adafruit RGB LED tutorial]] explains how to identify the function of each wire leading to the LED strand. And make sure you’re connecting everything to the LED strand’s **INPUT** side! From October 2011+, Red should be +5V, Black is Ground, Clock is , and Data is . | + | The wire colors for these LEDs have changed over time, so use this photo for mechanical reference only, not necessarily for wire colors.

| - | The three jumper wires then connect to **ground**, **clock** and **data** pins on the Arduino. If using a “traditional” Arduino board (Uno, etc.), use Digital pin **13** for clock and **11** for data. For the ATmega 32u4 or Teensy boards, use B1 for clock and B2 for data. The ground wire can connect to any GND pin on the Arduino. | + | The three jumper wires then connect to **ground**, **clock** and **data** pins on the Arduino.
