Decoration, preference for LEDs

[Mike Bortfeldt]

Adafruit now sells what they call DotStar addressable LED strips which you should be able to control with the RoboRIO. I have not used them myself.

Is it ok to have LED's wired straight to the distribution board with a physical switch? Or do all electronic components need to be controlled by the RoboRio?

I know it sounds like the easy way out, but I don't really have an elaborate LED set up, so I figured this was the best way.

Non-functional decorations are CUSTOM CIRCUITS, which can be plugged straight into the PDB.
