Just got a bunch of stuff delivered to build my own hyperhdr tv backlight. Its a relatively small project, but im hoping itll have a huge impact on my viewing experience ๐
Ooo is there a guide you are following for this? I tried setting this up a few years back during covid and never could get it working right. I still think it was faulty hardware but I went through at least a half-dozen grabbers.
Yeah, there is a guide for the raspberry https://www.raspberrypi.com/tutorials/raspberry-pi-tv-ambient-lighting/ I donk know if hyperhdr would run on weaker, more readily available hardware than the pi 3. ive seen some YouTuber (dont remember who) use Hyperion with a Pico, but here was noticable delay. Since hyperhdr is a more optimised fork of hyperion intended for 4k content, the pico may be able to to run hyperhdr for 1080p content, but im not willing to take that risk. Also check what kind of power supplies you can even get. 5v 15a power supplies apparently don't exist in Germany, so i had to use 30 led/meter strips instead of 60
Awesome, thanks! I may dive back into this project again since I would still really like to do it. I think I actually have a spare Pi 4 around here somewhere that I got for my 3d printers but ended up swapping that to a thin client. Appreciate it!
