This video clip shows a light sequence I created with my Raspberry Pi.

The lights are standard Red 5mm LEDs switched with BC548 NPN transistors. The circuit is based on the information on this site :
http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2012/06/control-led-using-gpio-output-pin/

The GPIO pins are controlled with a Python script.

Raspberry Pi Model B
Debian "Wheezy" Beta
Python 2.7

Filmed with a Panasonic V500 on auto settings with the video light enabled.
