Hey Guys and thanks for tuning in again. Today we’ll be building a DIY Ambilight
system for your PC monitor, on the cheap for just 10 Euros. For this build we will be
using an Arduino Nano, a small breadboard, 5v 2.1A phone charger and of
course the WS2812b LED strips can light up each individual LED light in
different color and brightness. I got all the necessary components from Aliexpress
and put a link to each one in the description.
Let’s get started building
this thing.
First things first, we need to measure the LED strips and see what

Serbian: 
Pozdrav svima i hvala Vam sto ste se ukljucili ponovo. Danas cemo praviti DIY Ambilight
sistem za vas PC monitor, jeftino za samo 10 eura. Za ovaj bild cemo
koristiti Arduino Nano, malu prototipsku plocu, 5V 2.1A punjac za telefon i naravno
WS2812b LED trake koje mogu da osvetle svaki individualni led modul
u drugacijoj boji i jacini. Sve potrebne komponente sam nabavio sa Aliexpress-a
I postavio linkove za svaki od njih u opis videa. Mozemo poceti!
Prvo, moramo da izmerimo LED trake i da vidimo

Serbian: 
koji raspored je potreban za nas monitor. Za moj 27'' monitor uspeo sam da uguram 18
ledica na vrh i dno, i 10 sa obe strane. Problem je bio sto je
stalak od monitora bio usput i nisam mogao napraviti potpuni krug. Resio sam ovo tako sto sam pomerio 2
ledice iznad stalka i povezao ih sa ostalim trakama. Kada ste gotovi
sa merenjem, isecite traku uzduz bele linije koja je oznacena i koja razdvaja svaki
pojedinacni modul. Ako ste kupili trake koje vec imaju zalemljene kablove na krajeev
kao sto sam ja, nemojte zaboraviti da ih odlemite
prvo i stavite na stranu. Koristicemo ih kasnije kako biso povezali
trake zajedno. Posle toga, uzmite cistu krpu i sprej za ciscenje povrsina
i dobro obrisite poledjinu monitora. Ovo radimo kako bi
trake mogle da se zalepe, i da ostanu zalepljene. Pre lepljenja pripazite na malu strelicu
koja pokazuje u jednom pravcu. Obavezno poredjajte trake tako da sve strelice pokazuju u

English: 
arrangement is needed for our monitor. For my 27’’ monitor I managed to fit 18
LEDs for the top and bottom and stand on
each side the problem was that the
monitor stand was in the way of making a
complete circle I solve this by moving 2
LEDs above the stand and wired them to
the rest of the strip when you're done
measuring cut the strips to size along
the marked line that separates each
individual LED if you bought strips that
already have leads soldered to the end
like I did
make sure you de-solder all the wires
first and put them aside as we will use
them later on to connect the strip's
together. Next you'll want to take a
clean cloth and a multi-purpose cleaning
fluid to give the back of a monitor a
good wipe. This is to ensure that the
strip's can glue on and stay on. Before
gluing them on note the small arrow
pointing to one side. Make sure when you
install your strips they all point in

Serbian: 
jednom pravcu i prave kompletan krug. Smer nije bitan jer
to mozemo u softveru da promenimo kasnije. Skinite zastitnu foliju i pocnite
sa postavljanjem traka jednu po jednu.
Pre nego sto ih pocnete povezivati, nemojte zaboraviti da stavite malo tinola
na sve kontakte. Ukoliko imate mali razmak izmedju 2 kontakta kao sto
sam ja imao, odecite komad zice na odgovarajucu velicinu, stavite malo termo buzira
i onda zalemite zicu kako biste napravili vezu. Ostale veze vam ne bi trebale zadavati
previse problema. Kad ste gotovi, uverite se da nemate mostove

English: 
one direction and make a complete circle.The rotation doesn't matter as all that
can be adjusted in the software later on.
Peel off the protective cover and start
laying down your strips
one at the time.
Before you start connecting them
make sure you tin the pads on each
end of the strip. If you have a really
small clearance between two pads like I
do here just cut the wire down to size
put some heat-shrink tubing on and then
solder the wire to make a connection. The
rest of the connections shouldn't give
you much trouble. When you're done, make
sure you don't have any solder bridges

Serbian: 
izmedju lemova, proverite sa multimetrom da li
imate protok struje u ceo krug i da nemate kratkih spojeva.
Posle toga, zalepite prototip plocu na monitor sto
blize mozete pocetnoj traci koju cete koristiti. Ovako treba da izgledaju
povezivanja na kraju. Kao sto vidie, dotok od 5V se povezuje direktno sa
napajanja na 5V traku. Negativ se povezuje
u isto vreme na GND od arduina i na GND traku.
Ovo mozete uciniti tako sto cete iskoristiti jednu traku na prototip ploci da spojite sva 3. Ja koristim D5 izlazni pin
Arduina kako bi povezao sa Din trakom. Sad je vreme
Da sve namestimo na racunaru. Likovi su u opisu videa. Skinite
FastLED biblioteku i sacuvajte je na desktop. Takodje ce vam trebati

English: 
between two pads, check with the
multimeter continuty tester if your
connections make a full circle on the
board and you don't have any short
circuits. Next you'll want to glue the
breadboard to the back of the monitor as
close as you can to the starting strip
you are going to use. Here is how you
should wire everything up. As you can see
the five volt rail goes directly from
the power supply to the five volt rail
on the strip. The ground connection has
to connect to both the Arduino ground
pin and the ground rail on the strip.
This can be done using one rail on the
breadboard. I'm using the D5 output pin
on the Arduino to connect to the data
rail on the strip. Now it's time to set
up everything on your PC. Links are in
the video description. Download the fast
LED library and save it to
your desktop. You will also need the

English: 
prismatik unofficial software which will
control the LED strip. And finally the
adalight sketch that will be loaded to
the arduino. Extract the fast light
library and copy it to the libraries
folder of your arduino ide. If you don't
have the arduino ide installed yet the
link is also in the description and the
installation is very straightforward.
Just make sure you rename the fast LED
master folder to just FastLED.
Next open the prismatik software
installation and go through the
installation process using all the
default settings. Don't open it yet.
Finally extract the adalight library
and open the sketch using the arduino

Serbian: 
Prismatik unofficial software koji ce kontorlisate nase ledice. Na kraju,
Adalight sketch koji ce biti ubacen u sam Arduino. Otpakujte FastLed
biblioteku i kopirajte je u libraries folder vaseg Arduino IDE softwera. Ukoliko ga
nemate instalirano, link je u opisu videa i instalacija je
veoma jednostavna. Promenite ime FastLed foldera
samo da se zove FastLed.
Pokrenite Prismatik softver instalaciju
i prodjite kroz nju sa svim podrazumevanim opcijama. Nemojte otvoriti aplikaciju jos.
Na kraju, otpakujte Adalight sketch i otvorite ga pomocu Arduino

English: 
IDE. Here you have to edit the sketch to
reflect your particular setup. For my
setup I'm using 56 LEDs and I'm using
the number 5 data pin of the arduino.
Make note of the serial rate because you
will need it in the prismatik software
later on. Now connect your Arduino and
make note of which com port it is
connected. In my case it is COM7. Go to
tools and upload and if all goes well you
should have the adalight library
installed on your Arduino now open up
the prismatik software and make sure you
select turn lights on. Next go to device
menu and click on run configuration
wizard.
Click Next to setup new device, choose adalight, enter the com port your Arduino

Serbian: 
IDE softvera. Ovde morate da izmenite sketch prema vasoj konfiguraciji. Sto se tice mene
koristim 56 LED-a i koristim D5 izlaz na Arduinu.
Zapamtite serialRate jer ce vam trebati kasnije u Prismatik softveru.
Sad povezite Arduino i zapamtite na koji port je povezan.
U mom slucaju to je COM7. Idite na "Tools" i "Upload" i ukoliko sve prodje kako treba,
uspesno ste postavili Adalight biblioteku na svoj Arduino. Nakon toga, otvorite
Prismatik softver i ukljucite "Turn Lights On". Idite na "Device"
meni i kliknite na "Run Configuration Wizard".
Kliknite Next.Izaberite Adalight, izaberite port na koji je povezan Vas Arduiino.

English: 
is connected to and select the serial
rate you saw earlier. Also for these
particular LED strips RGB works well but
if you have any trouble with colors not
showing up correctly try experimenting
with this value until you find the right
setting. Save your settings to a new
profile.
Here you're going to customize the
settings to reflect your particular
setup. There are some presets built in
but you're probably going to have to use
the custom settings to set everything up
correctly. Enter the amount of LEDs you
have enter their number on the top side
and bottom leave the thickness at 15%
and in my case I don't have a gap where
the stand is so I put 0% stand width.
Click on custom to see what you ended up
with. In my case I had to invert the

Serbian: 
i izaberite serialRate koji ste zapamtili u prethodnom koraku. Takodje, za ove
led trake RGB opcija funcionise dobro ali ukoliko imate problema tipa da vam
boje nisu ispravne, ekperimentisite sa ovom opcijom dok ne nadjete ispravnu.
Sacuvajte vasa podesavanja u novi profil.
Ovde mozete podesiti softver prema vasoj konfiguraciji svetala.
Postoje vec neki preseti ali cete najverovatnije morati koristiti
"Cusom" optiju kako biste sve namestili kako treba. Upisite broj Ledica koje imate.
Njihov broj Gore, sa obe strane i dole, Ostavite sirinu(Thickness) na 15%
i u mom slucaju nemam prazo mesto gde je stalak monitora tako da sam ostavio 0% "StandWidth"
Kliknite na "Custom" i vidite sta ste dobili. U mom slucaju morao sam da upalim "invert order" (obrni smer)

English: 
order and set an offset of nine to get
the order to start from the bottom right
corner of the screen. When you're happy
with the settings click Next.
Here you can set up the color offset so
that the color of the light matches the
color of your wall. Experiment with these
values until you see a white color being
reflected from your wall. When you're
satisfied with the results you can tinker
with some other settings in the software.
I'll leave this up to you because you
can customize almost everything to suit
your particular taste. You can find
helpful tips for almost each setting if
you click on the blue question mark next
to it. You'll probably find yourself
coming back to the screen often in the
beginning as you try out your setup
with different videos or music. And
that's it! Your DIY Ambilight system is
complete. I hope this video helps some

Serbian: 
i postavio offset od 9 kako bi prvo svetlo pocelo sa dolnje desne strane
ekrana. Kada ste srecni sa podesavanjima kliknite na "Next"
Ovde mozete da namestite korekciju boje kako bi se boja svetala podudarala sa
bojom vaseg zida. Eksperimentisite sa ovim poljima dok ne dobijete belu boju
kao odraz sa zida. Kada ste zadovoljni sa podesavanjima mozete da eksperimentisete
sa nekim drugim opcijama softvera. Ovo cu prepustiti vama jer mozete dosta toga
da namestite kako bi odgovaralo vasem ukusu. Mozete naci
opis opcija ako kliknete na plavi upitnik pored
opcije. Sigurno cete se vracati ovom prozoru cesto narocito na
pocetku dok ne isprobate svoje osvetljenje sa razlicitim videima ili muzikom.
I to je to! Vas DIY Ambilight sistem je gotov! Nadam se da ce ovaj video pomoci
