    another warning: the off the shelf kits come with a relatively low baked-in baudrate (115200, but confirm with your seller), this might limit your LED framerate, read this, so don't set your software to 360-noscope-fps capture right away... so either you are fine with what you'll get and you leave it at that or you want a higher rate, in which case you'll need to flash it with any other arduino ambilight sketch (such as this) with values that work for your board (any arduino ambilight tutorial on the subject will do)
