Re: Arduino LED strip control legality?

I had read those rules but was under the opinion that when they spoke of "controlled" it was referring to the motors and devices that physically move. therefore one could use another "controller". For instance you could use another "controller" to filter sensor output before entering the crio. The Q&A specifically calls them a "co-prossesor". If we were to wire a digital I/O or I2C bus as sort of an enable disable relay system from the crio -> arduino and code it so the lights were off when disabled. Would that be a legal solution?
