README

        
**A semi-professional, low-cost and highly-customizable lighting setup.**

Take today's addressable LEDs (WS28xx, SK68xx, etc.), projectors and plain old lighting devices. Bind it with IoT (ESP32, RaspberryPi, etc.) and Open-Source software for mapping, using the well-known protocols ArtNet, E1.31 (SACn) and maybe the more specific DDP and FFP. What you get ? [Examples](#examples).
