Wonder how hard it would be to tie this into the RGB lighting for Eli's Tron ramps. I dunno SH-T about programming other than how to count basic numbers in binary/hex. :p

Wonder if there is a convenient disconnect point on Tron for the GI to keep the "hanging chads" from shorting out on anything..

That's all fine and dandy if you like the look of direct 5050 smd LEDs all up in your face.... or whatever those happen to be. I agree that they're a lot more flexible in application and effects, but unfortunately the fact they aren't diffused is really horrible to my eye. Just way too distracting and bright. I was thinking if I can tie the GI into the ELI and have it do the same colors, that would be pretty cool and hopefully not require a lot of programming.

There's a lot of time when the ELI is off, so I dunno...maybe have it default to whatever at the time it's not getting any inputs. Like I said, I don't know squat about how addressable LEDs or the programming to control them works. ;\

Quoted from lyonsden:

By your icon, I can tell that you have sensitive eyes.
Seriously though, you can dial back the brightness in the code, or add a diffuser to the tube the LED strips are in, or wrap them on the sides of the ramp rather than underneath it. Just be a bit creative (and save yourself a good chunk of change in the process).

You should see me when they dilate my pupils.

Already have the Eli...not saving anything there..
