I just posted the update as an edit of this post.

Thank you again for the help and the links, that was really helpful while troubleshooting!

Thank you for your answer!

Have you verified that the power supply wiring is correct? Red = + Black = -. I have had supplies where the red and black were reversed during manufacture, I have also had led strips where the labeling was reversed.

I have not, that’s a good point! I‘ll see if I can find a way to Check that.

Is the arduino getting power in this situation? It looks like it is only connected to data and ground. I have no experience with arduinos, but I would think you would have 3 wires connecting to it. +, -, and data.

I disconnected the cables when making the picture, so you can see the wiring I soldered. I connected +5v with the red wire of the power supply, data with pad5 on my arduino and ground to the black wire of the supply and ground on the arduino.

You say 12v for the lights, but input on the strips says +5v

The supply was already in work as an ambulatory supply before, i just got new LED strips with even more LEDs (got a new, bigger screen). In the online Tutorials they also use 12v supplies. Unfortunately I have no weaker ones to try out

I know, but I already got pretty good answers here 😊 i thought the connections are so easy that a schematic is not needed, but I’ll provide one lather when I have the time to draw one. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you for your quick response!

Did you test your equipment before soldering it together? Then after soldering it does not work?

Unfortunately I did not, but the arduino and the power supply were already in use as an ambilight some months ago (I bought a preassembled kit back then). I got a new screen, so i stored the devices until yesterday, when my new LED strips arrived. Everything worked until then.

Is it three wires you are connecting: 5V power, +data (PD5), then ground connection on the strip?

Exactly. Also for good measure I also connected ground from the arduino with the ground pin from the strip. Is that a problem? It used to be wired that way before… but the old strips had less LEDs.

By this you mean that no V is seen or it is acting like it is not connected, it is binary so it has the neccasary V or it does not (0V or 5V).

I updated the fastled library on the arduino und set it to use port5 of the arduino. When everything is connected I turn on prismatik and it says it sends signals to the arduino. The work indicating led on the arduino blinks accordingly. But the led strip blink does not change. Unfortunately I have no device to measure if there is any output from the pad.

You need to make sure you did not fry the arduino. Is there a way to check it by software? But it behaves as it used to, when the old ambilight was working.

Quick search I found this short video with great information:

Thank you for the recommendations! I‘ll check them out!

I can‘t stand the smell of coffee roasting since childhood… hated it when one of my employer moved office next to a coffee rostery

Kein Wunder, wenn es halb so teuer ist wie eine Monatskarte (oder sogar günstiger als Schüler und studentenkarten) und man damit theoretisch in ganz Deutschland fahren kann

I tried all similar products from other brands I could find, but none were as good as snyders. Some were even quite disgusting, even though they are produced by reputable brands
