Hello Listers~

I'm working on an art gallery installation and I want to use Pd to control some high-powered LED's via an Arduino unit.

The breakdown is this: I need to create a series of RGB LED's that will provide accent illumination to the gallery space, and shifts from red to blue over a course of 6 weeks. The program isn't very difficult to write. I've already decided to link it to the system date/time so that the installation can be powered down easily at night. What's tricky is knowing what hardware to use and how to get it together. I am going to want between 25-100 lights at minimum, possibly more.

I've looked at a few sites and links already, especially the Arduino site. They have some things related to DMX lights, and this is something I've seen a bit on the list as well. I don't know if this is a good solution or if it is overkill for what I want to do.

One piece of hardware that seems promising is the ShiftBrite (http://www.macetech.com/blog/node/54). Does anyone know about this?

I know this might  be considered off-topic, but I'd really appreciate it if any seasoned veterans could throw me some tips. I'll be exploring other areas, but I know there are some honed brains skimming these emails so maybe they can drop some science on me.

Thanks in advance,

~Kyle
