Check out PCBWay: It’s finally here! Today we will be going through the ultimate DIY guide for building your own Ambilight TV with Hyperion and a Raspberry Pi with absolutely everything you need to know from start to finish! This is an alternative to the Philips Ambilight range of TV’s, or the Philips Hue play HDMI Sync Box using open source software called Hyperion/Hyperbian or HyperHDR which runs on a cheap and low power Raspberry Pi controlling an LED strip such as a WS2812B or SK6812 and gives you ambient or bias lighting for your TV, and the result is amazing!
