We received a Rasperrz Pi care package from [[http://adafruit.com adafruit]] and because we really dig blinky things we made a WS2801 controller for the Raspberry Pi.

Its a simple shield that you can attach to your Raspberry Pi that functions as a bridge from Raspberry Pi to control a wide variety of WS2801 based Ledstripes and Pixelmodules at different voltage levels.

You can make your things go blinky from python without the need of a separate microcontroller.
