Would be very nice if we could get some GPIO (but there is no any io ports on xbox) or i2c for python. Any plans to integrate it with x4x?

There is PCB, Schematic, and pcb layout for ambilight with 7 channels. RS232 for debuging included.

I'm going to take a rest in vacation, so I'll be back in next week

the atmega 168 has the ability to have 6 pwm outputs on pins 3,5,6 and 11 with 8 bit resolution and pins 9and 10 with 16 bit resolution because of the timers on those pins i know it is not 8 but it shuld be more than enough, 3 colours for left and right each stero amberlight output? it is sort of g...

ignoring the i2c stuff, there is a patchset on our bugtracker related to ambilight. I'd have to check to see what it got to. I recall I think some code changes might have been needed for acceptance, but I could be wrong. I don't have a machine to test however. I could do a build with the patch if y...

there is sample code for clpd to talk to the lcpbus freely available from latice semiconductor. but not as such for micros or avr's that i can find and in most cases they are not fast enough to capture packet data as it is running at 33mhz faster than run of the mill micros. i have no idea when it ...

then we need to use some cpld. Hm, would be nice but first, I would like to make ambilight project. LCD could be too hard for me at the moment.. :) but I will look at LPC bus specification.. I never do it before :) Another option if we couldn't use i2c: http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/ICs/FT232BM.h...

Hello. Some time ago xbmc has support for ambilight v1 with smartxx modchips. This version is old now, and on official releases there is no longer support for it but maybe there will be some option to add? Not for smartxx only but... We have there i2c, would be it useful? It may be to slow and I don...
