Quick update….
On the bus ride home, I finally got this thing working. Although I really can’t show it in a picture of a gif, all of the values from the clients are stored onto the server, and pins’ PWM is activating.
It also turns out that there is a shortage of a whopping two transistors. I’m still trying to scrounge the internet for deal which doesn’t result in me being ripped off, so it might be a while before I can get this thing hooked up and working.
Another quick point:
Turns out that my LED strip that I bought is only 16′, not nearly enough to cover the perimeter of my room, so I’ll have to bite the bullet and buy another one of those as well.
Finally, you can view all of my code (and my somewhat entertaining commit messages) at my github.
