sysfried Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Ok, here it goes. I have everything I need for the Picture Frame server. Even Proxmox is already set up. I have a similar board like Darren used with a serial port. Now, I want to put in some LED stripes. Preferrably multi-color. Which LEDs should I get, and HOW do I get to control them? It's easy to get the system load into a single number I could then send to LEDs, but has anyone have a clue where to point me, where I could get something for USB OR Serial, so I can send that signal?
