    Absolutely awesome!  I personally don’t think it looks bad with most lights only being one color.

    Thanks for the comments!

    @ Ryan,

    since the posting of the video i have fixed the mis-coloring of some of the filaments. Now that i fixed it i kind of wish that i didn’t. However, i am still having problems with the selection of color. It seems that the mapped values i have in the software are not calibrated to what the hardware is putting out. This will be fixed within the week.
