In my setup, I have 110 LEDs.The folks behind Philips Hue have already released a lot of new smart lights this year. Inside this code, you need to edit Line 3 to the number of LEDs you have around the boarder of your TV. Once inside the Arduino Web Editor, Create a NEW SKETCH and Copy/Paste the Code found here:

#Hdmi ambient light driver

(The Arduino clones use a different driver than the Authentic Arduino)

#Hdmi ambient light install

If you use an Arduino clone like I am in my video, You'll need to follow the Arduino Nano clone installion instructions to install a separate Device Drive for that specific Arduino.

You'll need to install a Device Driver in order for the Web Application to install our software onto the Arduino. Go to and setup a free account so you can use there FREE web editor. You can change the settings level in the upper right hand corner. If you are missing settings (like baudrate), they may be hidden in the Expert Settings.

For SSH, create an empty file called "SSH" (without the quotation marks & without a file extention) and place that on the same SD Card. Create a file on the SD card called "wpa_nf" (without the quotation marks) and inside enter to code found at this link: replacing the SSID and Password with your Home WiFi name and Password. Once you burn the HyperBian image to your SD card, you need to setup SSH and WiFi on the Pi.

To burn the HyperBian image to your SD card you can use Win32 Disk Imager for Windows ( ) or Belena Etcher for Mac ( )

Based on the original Raspberry Pi Foundation image "Raspberry Pi OS Lite". Software for the Raspberry Pi can be Downloaded here: ( ) Is a ready to use image for your Raspberry Pi. Not doing so will cause a Floating Ground issue that might cause your LEDs to not fuction correctly. NOTE: if you use multiple Power Supplies, ie 1 Power Supply for the Pi & 1 Power Supply for the LEDs, you will need to connect a GROUND wire from Raspberry Pi (or Arduino) to the LED Light strip. You would connect this resistor between the Arduino and the LED data in wire. A 300-500 ohm resistor will help protect the LED strip.

While I'm not using a resistor on my setup and haven't had any problems with the LEDs yet.

REMEMBER.the more LEDs you have, a larger power supply would be needed. My 110 LEDs require 5V and use about 7.ing the Formula VOLTS x AMPS = WATTS, (5V x 7.3A = 36.5Amps), I would need a Power Supply that is larger that 36.5 Amps, so a power supply like this (50Watts) would work for me ( ). You'll need 1 power supply to power the Raspberry Pi ( ), and a 2nd (Much Larger) power supply to power the LED Light Strip. If you already have a USB Hub, but you need a USB to Micro USB cable, I have a couple of these ( )

Micro USB Hub ( ) This hub will give the Raspberry Pi Zero W four stand USB ports.The Raspberry Pi Zero only has one usable micro USB port, and we'll need 2 ports, 1 USB port for the HDMI Capture Card, and 1 for the Arduino Nano.

OR HDMI capture card with built in passthrough ( )

HDMI capture card ( or ) I bought mine on Aliexpress, but Amazon has an easier return policy.

There are LED sets that have more LEDs per foot.while that'll give you a brighter ambient light, it'll use more electricity, so you might need a larger power supply. My LED strip ( ) has 150 LEDs and is 16.4ft. I picked up these Arduino Nano clones: (Alternative: )

An Arduino that will control an LED Light Strip.

Micro USB card for the Raspberry to install our OS ( ) You'll need a SD card that is 4GB or larger.

This project will require the Pi to talk to your home network (WiFi), so we need a Pi that has network capabilities.

Raspberry Pi (any Pi will work) I'll be using a Raspberry Pi Zero W ( ).

You can view my YouTube installation video here: For this project, we'll be using the following hardware: Welcome to my Hyperion Ambient TV Light Project instructions.
