MoMoLight
Shiny July 11th, 2006The author built his own Movie Mood Light that mimics the Philips Ambilight system. It detects the average color of the top, left and right edges of a video image and uses PWM to match the colors with a set of cold cathodes (or LEDs if you prefer). This tutorial walks you through the hardware construction and provides the direct show filter and the hex code for the PIC.
