Hi Guys,
I recently bought the Vero 4K because my old MediaPC couldn’t handle 4K Videos.
I had a 50 LED WS2801 Ambilight clone up and running on my HTPC (Windows 10 Machine).
The LEDs were driven by an Arduino Uno, the data was sent through Kodi’s Boblight AddOn to the Daemon running on Windows.
After some research I thought I take the leap and switch to Vero because I thought I can get this running.
After some fiddeling I managed to install boblight on the Vero and even got the daemon to run but when I have the daemon running and start a Video on the Vero, the screen gets grabbed one frame and then the colors won’t change anymore.
If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated!

My last hope was maybe the baudrate but chaning this results in showing no light at all.
