Raspberry Pi LED Controller Build

[Pete]

Each strip was individually addressable, but the lights on each strip were not individually addressable due to cost reasons. The covers over the lights (the trim around the cabinet) was chromed on the outside, so when the lights were off, all you saw was chrome. When on, the light was visible. This also provided for interesting effects when machines were next to each other, as the chrome would reflect and blend the light from nearby machines.
