Raspberry Pi LED Controller Build

It Works!!! Here's a quick video of the LED setup with iPad remote control.

So here's the basic setup so far, the Pi Plate sets atop the Raspberry Pi. This is wired to the Adafruit servo controller on the bread board along with the transistors that control the LED states.

I'm using the Ardumote app and Python script for the iPad control, the script is running as a Linux listening service and when an button is pushed on the app it catches the message sent by the button. I'm then using the RGB_Driver python script to change the state of the lights.

I can see these two scripts being combined into one that will repeat all night long and also there is some hardware programming in both that will be interesting to learn. My thanks to Dan for the quick fingered Google on running a python script from within a python script.

Off to solder it up, John
