# KODI AmbiMote (script.kodi.ambimote)
*NOTE*: This was hacked together over a couple of hours, more of a proof of
concept than anything else. It is not meant for the general public.
## Background
I got a Pimoroni Mote Kit for Christmas, needed something to do with them.
Please check your Mote Sticks are all working before connecting them to your
TV. I found one of my sticks has 3 dead LEDs :'(.
## Known Issues
* No configurable option for the IP address of the server component.
* Android — requires hardware acceleration to be disabled to allow the
capture code to retrieve the screen colours.
* UDP Datagrams could be packed/unpacked in a better fashion.
## Requirements
Hardware:
* [Pimoroni Mote Host](https://shop.pimoroni.de/products/mote)
* [Pimoroni Mote Stick](https://shop.pimoroni.de/products/mote)
* Cables to connect the Host to the Sticks.
* Raspberry Pi / ODROID C2 or other embedded Linux to run the server service.
## Setup
Currently the IP address is hardcoded on line 17 of `addon.py`, please change
this if your Python server isn't running at `192.168.1.148`.
The server component can be found under `server/` along with its own
[documentation](server/README.md) for setup.
This addon will change the color of your Pimoroni Mote Sticks to match the
currently playing video.
