Hyperion

​Hyperion is an open source project that provides an ambient lighting system, compatiblie with Kodi. Hyperion requires hardware and software configuration. This page describes the process to add Hyperion to Generic x86_64 and Raspberry Pi hardware. For software configuration please head over to Hypercon. 
Adalight
If you want hardware that will work on any LibreELEC device, an "Adalight" setup is the best choice. It works by sending serial data to an Arduino micro controller which controls the LEDs. You need:
Arduino (Uno, nano, etc)
WS2801 LED strand
5V power supply
Wire/Jumpers
Breadboard/Protoboard (optional)
Soldering iron (optional)
Adalight wiring
Follow the tutorial here https://learn.adafruit.com/adalight-diy-ambient-tv-lighting/overview.
In Hypercon you will need to enable:
Hypercon configuration Adalight
Raspberry Pi
Pi devices can drive an SPI output directly, and hyperion can output to an spidev device. You need:
Raspberry Pi
WS2801 LED strand
5V power supply
Wire/Jumpers
Raspberry Pi wiring
You can find the pinout here https://pinout.xyz. You will need to connect the following pins:
19 MOSI -> Data
23 SCLK -> Clock
25 GND  -> Ground
You need to enable SPI in the config.txt file:
mount -o remount,rw /flash
nano /flash/config.txt
Add the following line to the end of the file:
dtparam=spi=on
Then reboot. In Hypercon you will need to enable:
Hypercon configuration Raspberry Pi
