Raspberry Pi Light Strings

Synopsis: A Pi Zero controlled string of LED lights which wrap around the perimeter of my kitchen. The idea is to write a couple color patterns as well as a few blinking incantations (kind of like with the Infinity Mirror). Maybe a remote application can be written to change color codes remotely.

Things to accomplish:

-Chaining LED strings

-SSH’ing into the Pi Zero

-RGB control app dev

-Mounting strings/Pi around kitchen cabinets/ceiling

Update: I think it’ll be more proactive to use a Bluetooth connection than to try shelling in every single command. I’m not sure what the connection/drop rate of a shell versus a BT connection is, either.
