A nice "gateway drug" is an addressable (programmable) LED strip. Hook it up to a Raspberry Pi or Arduino and have at it! I bought cheap motion sensors and will be installing a strip along the inside of a staircase to light up when I approach it. https://github.com/whyboris/Arduino-LED https://github.com/whyboris/Arduino-LED (see "stairs.ino") Another project of mine is having the LEDs light up as I play piano: https://github.com/whyboris/Digital-Piano-LED https://github.com/whyboris/Digital-Piano-LED Unsure where I'll go after I finish these projects, but LEDs are so much fun!
