# Roof LED

Kistan has a grid of pixels in the roof controlled by a single controller. The
pixels are connected together using wires, and divided to three different power
supply groups. All the power supplies have their common connected to eliminate
some interference.
Kistan has a grid of pixels on the roof controlled by a single controller. The

groups (see [power drawing][1]).

## Addressing

Each pixel is represented as a fixture in the LMixer and have 3 channels.

Addressing is linear and can be followed like a snake back and forth in the
roof. See the picture below for exact fixture IDs.

## Raspberry Pi

A Raspberry Pi with custom software is used to control the roof LEDs. It is
powered with a normal USB Power supply and is connected to the internet with a
LAN cable.

![rpi_image]

The black wire is connected to ground on pin number 4 (GND)

The green wire is connected to data on pin number 12 (GPIO18)

### Location of Pi

The Pi is located on top of the cable tray in the roof. As indicated on this
picture.
