Hi,
I have a problem with the output of boblight in XBMC. If I start the boblightd service in the console everything seems to be correct (No warnings or errors). All LEDs got red, green and blue for initialization. If I start XBMC with configured boblight add-on, XBMC states that it is connected to my boblightd service. If I start a movie I got no output.

If I use in another console the command: boblight-constant 0000FF

There is also no output.

I build up an adalight configuration as explained here with 50 LEDs: http://learn.adafruit.com/adalight-diy-a...v-lighting

Has anyone an idea?

Thx Hannes

Hi,
I am stuck. I reprogrammed the Arduino with a PC using Windows 7 (previously I used Windows 8.1). Both processing scripts (Colorswirl and Adalight) are working correctly. If I try to use boblightd and XBMC on Windows 7 it still doesn't work. It is the same issue I have under Linux. Connection is established but I do not get any output.

I also tried Prismatik which lead to an output although there was something messed up with my config there.

Any ideas?

Thx Hannes

I solved the problem:

There seems to be something broken with the LEDStream sketch from Adafruit. If I use the one provided here (sorry German source): http://geekstechworld.com/all/howto/ambi...se7EPTuJww everything works as expected.

I contacted the author which changes he made to get it working with windows.

I made a diff to my old version. The first thing is that it does no longer use the magic word "Ada". Also the SPI property clock divider changed from 1MHz to 2MHz.

I have the exact same problem (LEDstream and colorswirl working but boblight-constant isnt).
Unfortunately the .pde from above doesnt change anything for me. Does anyone know how to fix this on linux?

After all the issue was with my config file. I append it here for others to cross-reference theirs.
