    Hi,

    Not sure if this is the right Forum so sorry if it isn't.

    So I want to start a little project for the new year. I want to create the ambient light for my TV following this link:

    http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-your-own-Ambilight-clone-with-the-Raspberry-/?ALLSTEPS

    I have purchased the following:

    Purchased:
    WS2801 LED Strip
    Raspberry Pi 2 (Have Pi B+ also)
    Audrino uno

    Not purchased:
    Wire: ttp://amzn.to/1DQYIrh (Is this the same wire connected to the LED already)
    Female headers: http://amzn.to/1GN5xMt
    Male headers: http://amzn.to/1GN5xMt
    Shrinking tube: http://amzn.to/1GN5znO
    5V 3A Power supply: http://amzn.to/1RaueuQ

    Where would the best place to purchase the above "no purchased" items locally in Dublin or Kildare? I've tried maplins without any luck (that was a few weeks ago)

    As you can probably tell I ain't got that much experience in electrical wiring but want to give it a go. See attached pics of LED strip

    Would be really interested in hearing from someone who followed this guide.

    Thanks again,
    BobbyT28
