NOTE: This was hacked together over a couple of hours, more of a proof of concept than anything else. It is not meant for the general public.
I got a Pimoroni Mote Kit for Christmas, needed something to do with them. Please check your Mote Sticks are all working before connecting them to your TV. I found one of my sticks has 3 dead LEDs :'(.
- No configurable option for the IP address of the server component.
- Android — requires hardware acceleration to be disabled to allow the capture code to retrieve the screen colours.
- UDP Datagrams could be packed/unpacked in a better fashion.
Hardware:
- Pimoroni Mote Host
- Pimoroni Mote Stick
- Cables to connect the Host to the Sticks.
- Raspberry Pi / ODROID C2 or other embedded Linux to run the server service.
Currently the IP address is hardcoded on line 17 of addon.py, please change
this if your Python server isn't running at 192.168.1.148.
The server component can be found under server/ along with its own
documentation for setup.
This addon will change the color of your Pimoroni Mote Sticks to match the currently playing video.
