-Usage
+Base Setup
-=====
+==========
+
+Make sure redis-server is running. If it is you should be able to connect to port 6379
+
+```
+$ telnet localhost 6379
+Trying 127.0.0.1...
+Connected to localhost.
+Escape character is '^]'
+```
+
+If not this might happen and you have to launch redis-server:
+
+```
+$ telnet localhost 6379
+Trying 127.0.0.1...
+
+telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
+telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
+$ redis-server

 Run the listener receiving the images from the clients:
 
 ```
-    python receiver.py
+    python3 backend/forwarding/receiver.py
 ```
 
+Run the forwarder that talks to the teensy via Serial and make sure to adapt the 'serialConfigure' option in the file:
+
+```
+    python3 backend/forwarding/forward.py
+```
+
+
+Processing
+==========
+
+To use syndilights with processing you need to push the following code onto the Teensy 3.1:
+
+```
+    backend/arduino/VideoDisplayTeensy31/VideoDisplayTeensy31.ino
+```
+
+/!\ When running the teensdyduino installer over your Arduino (tested on 1.0.6) installation make sure NO libraries are selected (yes, NOT even the WS2811) /!\
+
+Open processing and add a new Mode. This can be achieved by clicking on 'Java' -> Add Mode…
+In the mode manager select Python and install
+
+/!\ Restart processing /!\
+
+Next step will be to open the following file in processing:
+
+```
+    backend/processing/PixelControl_TCP/PixelControl_TCP.pyde
+```
+
+Configure the height and width of your Pixel Setup
+A frame rate of 30 is good enough for most uses
+For test purposes the brightness has been set to low
+
+The current demo is a green dot that will chase around the LED-strip.
+
+Setting long_line to True or False will change the wrapping mode

+
+Sending images to the grid
+==========================
+
+<section needs revision>
+
 Run the script merging the images:
 
 ```
-    python png_merger.py
+    python3 png_merger.py
 ```
 
 Run the scripts sending the images:
 
 ```
-    python png_creator.py
+    python3 png_creator.py
 ```
