Used ws2812b and hyperion and a total of 670+1020 leds
-is still a work in progress have to add bed side lamps and under computer table lights and an led bar to fill the left side of the tv panel
Need suggestions as to what else can be done to improve it more thanks again😁😁
I used ws2812b (60leds per meter)
3 x esp32 (one for tv panel, one for monitor and one for cove)
Its still i work in progress. I will be i stalling led strips under my desk as well and cable management will be done later.
All of this will later be synced to hyperHDR and this whole room will be one big ambilight setup. (Already done with tv panel has 5 independent strips on 5 different gpio pins on the esp and took me 4 full days to make them work properly 🙇🏻 yes i am a newbie)
Also have ideas for wled wall lamp (but leds will be visible from below and would look bad - any ideas on this would be appreciated 🙇🏻)
Will also make a diy lamp as a night light for my desk.
Also what else can be done suggestions are really appreciated 🙏🏻♥️
Thanks guys really i mean it this sub has been sooooo helpful.. real grateful to everyone.
So i am running ws2812b led strip on my tv and tv panel to make ambilight and also to sync with my room’s cove.
The thing is i am getting a random flicker like say solid white colour is there, randomly there will be a blue blink.
I am using 5 data points from my esp
Please refer last image for a rough diagram of data points and how strips are attached (in purple the dots are all data points, in green are led strips)
- d2 connected to top most point on the left (has 87leds)
- d4 connected to bottom left data point (has 299 leds running behind my tv panel)
- D5 connected to middle left data point (has 30leds on the right plane of tv panel)
-d19 connected to middle right data point (has 29 leds on the left plane of tv panel)
-d18 connected to the middle data point ( has 225 leds connected to the back of my tv which is mounted on this tv panel)
—i have mounted the esp on a soap holder (because it was all i could think of 🙇🏻)
— i twisted the data wires with ground wires to prevent flicker
— i added aluminium foil on the live wires where data wires cross each them
— added a 67ohm resistor on the 299 led strip
The flickers are not in a pattern like yesterday when finished installing flickers were in the back side
Today morning flickering in the back of tv and the top front strip.
Kindly help i am really lost here
So i finished my first ever wled install inside the cove.
Used a total of 17 meter of ws2812b
installing the strip was easy but cable management took me 2 days 🦧 ( was able to spend like 2-3 hours everyday cause have to study as well)
This wled page has been like super duper helpful to me learn so much from posts and also whenever ran into some issues made a post and got like really helpful replies. Really thankful to this community.
Plans further
-building an led matrix wall like Chris maher has on his yt channel showcasing wled 16.
***** also mentioning wled16 update is so smooth i faces micro jitter when changing effects, effects per se were smooth but transitions were not wled 16 fixed it for me
- building an ambilight for my tv ( but cant go the raspberry pie route since those things are crazy overprices i would love alternate suggestions)
- diy lamps with wled
- leds with diffuser channels around my desk and leds around my monitor controlled with hyper HDR (yes ambilight)
Main plan leds everywhere i am love with this thing 😂 i was introduced to these like probably 2 weeks ago i agree i was living under the rocks to not have knows that such thing even existed.
So i have a room where i will be i stalling 2 ws2812b eco strips with 60leds per meter(i am not sure if its eco or normal but chat gpt and gemini said its eco) in a 2 squares (outer cove and inner cove)
Outer square will have 12 meters of led and inner will have 5 meters.
I have a 5v60amps power supply.
-I am planning on connection one v+ to my esp circuit board with 1amp fuse,
-Then will use a 40amps fuse on the 12 meter strip (injecting power at 0-5-10 meters)
-finally a 30amps fuse for my 5meter strip (injecting power at the start and end)
I am a newbie to all this electricals and just want to be sure before i do something wrong.
So i did my first ever ambilight setup using esp32, wled and Hyper HDR and very happy with the result. Learnt a lot during the process.
Just the thing which is annoying me is how can i fix the black bars in some movies. In Hyper HDR (liked it best and lightest on the resources) like i enabled the option in settings for black bars, tweaked them also but still cant achieve a satisfactory result. What can i do
The above video is just the result the first ever i played after installing Hyper HDR.
