Good and Cheap Homemade Ambilight Part 2 (Assembly)

Mounting

#

1. Preparing the LED Cable

   #

   1. We take the male end of the LEDs (the one with the three pins) and one of the power adapters, (the one that is female)

      

   2. We connect the red wire to the positive (+) and the blue to the negative (-), which are outside the connector, by tightening the screws with a screwdriver

      

   3. We take the female end

      

      1. We will insulate the red and blue wires, which are outside the female end connector with electrical tape, for example.
      2. If jumpers are available
         1.  We’ll connect three of the jumpers at their end.

            

            Connector+ jumpers
      3. If you have thumbtacks

         1. We break the thumbtacks and keep the ends

         2. Cut next to the female connector and strip the cables a little, fan them open and turn.

         3. We tin each tip of the thumbtack at one end

            

   4. We have the cable ready!

2. Connections

   #

   1. We connect the Jumpers/Pins as follows

      

      /////////////////////////// PARA ARDUINO MEGA ////////////////////////
      
      Amarillo/Blanco: 51
      Verde: 52
      Azul: GND
      
      (Se sitúan en la parte opuesta al conector para USB)
      
      ////////////////////////// PARA ARDUINO UNO (No probado)///////////////////////////
      Amarillo/Blanco: 11
      Verde: 13
      Azul: GND

   2. We connect the power adapter to the end of the Led cable, which has the female power connector, which we have added

   3. Connect the arduino to the PC Ubuntu using a USB cable (With the cable that comes with us)

      

   4. We already have everything connected!

      

   5. NOTE: Don’t panic if your LEDs don’t light up yet, if you carefully remove and reattach the adapter you’ll see a slight flash or an LED on.
