Projects

Below are some of my more recent projects. I'll be adding older ones as well, with more details, links, pictures and code.

HyperHDR (Hyperion) Ambilight Project

Updated December, 2025
With the popularity of the Raspberry Pi 5, I've updated the method used to connect the LEDs to the Pi (via my Power Adapter / Level Shifter).

The older (GPIO 18) method still works on most boards, but if you have a Pi 5, you will need to use the SPI method (all is detailed in the configuration pages below).

• Follow along the ▶ latest video first, to get an idea of what this project is and how to go about it.

• The specific hardware needed can be found on this page

• Next, check out the hardware page, with more details and pictures to help you get connected.

• Finally, the Software / Configuration Tutorial is the final stop for all of the Software Installation and Configuration details!

It seems like a long list, but I have you covered! Please check out my entire Ambilight / HyperHDR Playlist on YouTube, keeping in mind that things do change from month to month.

The more recent videos have the most up-to-date information, while the older ones are still full of good information.
