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 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.
