Flashing Duck

Well First project was working, got a string of ducks to listen for a MQTT subscription.

However as soon as I took the picture it broke. It seems to be a linux thing. Will fix it soon.

Just need to work out what to do with them when they work.

This works with an  Arduino that takes a serial hex code that triggers the LEDs on or OFF.  I have a perl script that works on my server and listens for MQTT subscriptions on Ducks.  I got the Arduino code from “Making things talk” (link) it is a great book on the basics of Arduinos and networking with them.

    Can you make this stop coming over the twitter channel? It’s making following the opensim keyword completely useless as your bot is spamming on that every few minutes.
