Some years ago I’ve been to a blink182 open air concert with a girl I liked. And just when the chorus of the song „always“ started, warm Summer rain began to fall. It was amazing!

Harambe, I miss you buddy 😢

I‘m already 35, I think that’s past the age where my youth gives me superpowers

I can feel when lights are turned on or shine at me. Taking photos with a flash for example feels like a hot wave to me. I think that is a side effect of my ASD, the poor stimulus filtering to be exact

Also I can hear most electric devices because of that. Charging them for example has a loud high frequency noise. Not just cheap chargers, almost all electronic devices

You could go out on a date with me to make it round 😘

Thank you for your quick response!

Did you test your equipment before soldering it together? Then after soldering it does not work?

Unfortunately I did not, but the arduino and the power supply were already in use as an ambilight some months ago (I bought a preassembled kit back then). I got a new screen, so i stored the devices until yesterday, when my new LED strips arrived. Everything worked until then.

Is it three wires you are connecting: 5V power, +data (PD5), then ground connection on the strip?

Exactly. Also for good measure I also connected ground from the arduino with the ground pin from the strip. Is that a problem? It used to be wired that way before… but the old strips had less LEDs.

By this you mean that no V is seen or it is acting like it is not connected, it is binary so it has the neccasary V or it does not (0V or 5V).

I updated the fastled library on the arduino und set it to use port5 of the arduino. When everything is connected I turn on prismatik and it says it sends signals to the arduino. The work indicating led on the arduino blinks accordingly. But the led strip blink does not change. Unfortunately I have no device to measure if there is any output from the pad.

You need to make sure you did not fry the arduino. Is there a way to check it by software? But it behaves as it used to, when the old ambilight was working.

Quick search I found this short video with great information:

Thank you for the recommendations! I‘ll check them out!
