Wanted some more depth for my gaming/movie viewing experience so here's how I installed my ambient lighting.

Before we begin, this project requires you to know how to use a soldering iron and some other basic tools. If you're not comfortable soldering, you can get somebody to do it for you... or learn how :)

Note: I'm making this after I finished the project so the pictures shown will be from the finished product.

Note2 : Since this seems to be a point of confusion. This project works on computers that can run the Ambibox software. The LEDs are controlled using this software, so using this setup for regular TV viewing won't work.

Note3 (thanks to RostislavK): If you're having trouble with the arduino code, you can use the following instead: https://github.com/dmadison/Adalight-FastLED/releases

Now that that's out of the way, let's begin with the parts list:

1. WS2812b LED strip (5m, 300 LEDs, waterproof (not necessary but I like the sleeve).

2. Arduino board. I used an Arduino Leonardo 16MHz

3. An old computer power supply. (Got from the office, if you can't find just ask around somebody's bound to have an extra one somewhere)

4. Double sided tape. I use the Wurth automotive tape since it doesn't leave any residue.

5. Soldering iron, solder, some scrap bits of wire, basic tools
