In this post we will see how to test that everything works correctly and some tricks to manage our Ambilight from the mobile and stay with the people who come to visit. :D

Testing

#

To test that everything is working correctly

1. We open two terminals/two ssh sessions

2. In one of the sessions we executed

   sudo boblightd

3. In the other session we can test it in several ways

   1. Using boblight-constant

      //Con los siguientes comandos cambiaremos el color de toda la tira
      //Rojo
      sudo boblight-constant FF0000
      //Verde
      sudo boblight-constant 00FF00
      //Azul
      sudo boblight-constant 00FF00
      //Como podéis ver sigue el patrón RGB y podéis introducir cualquien valor

   2. Via boblight-X11

      //Si estamos mediante ssh
      export DISPLAY=:0.0
      
      // Con este comando tendremos parpadeos azules por ejemplo
      boblight-X11 -s 127.0.0.1:19333 -o gamma=2.2 -o speed=40 -o valuemin=0.004 -o value=1.5 -o saturation=1.2 -o threshold=20

This testing is basic to check that the LEDs are working correctly, but in the next post, we will see how to spin more finely with our settings

Client Installation and Configuration

#

1. Bobdroid (Android)

   #

• This application allows us to change the color of our LEDs from our Droid, and if we want to the rhythm of the music that plays or that of our voice.

1. Download the app from Google Play from HERE
2. Go to settings and configure
   1. PC IP address
   2. Port (leave predetermined)
   3. Priority 128
   4. Hit connect
   5. Start enjoying!

3. XBMC

   #

   1. System ->Addons ->Get Addons ->xbmc.org Addons -> XBMC Boblight -> Install
   2. Configure it to your liking
      1. You don’t need to enable the connection to 127.0.0.1 if you’re on the same PC
   3. Enjoy your ambilight/Atmolight/Adalight or whatever you want to call it
