Thanks Roger,
Just to complete the Open Source story, the hardware running the
WS2812B lights (an Arduino and a Raspberry Pi) and the lights
themselves were paid for by a Lymington Open Source software company,
Embecosm, who specialise in super-optimising compilers for the gnu
toolchain.
Best wishes, peterthevicar
Peter Salisbury, Vicar of Lymington
