Wall-Mounted LED Bandwidth Graph

Let's start a bounty to have someone create the interface/plugin!
-
That's pretty cool.
pfSense World HQ needs one of these, so we can watch the 2.2 release happen.
I've ordered two strips, but will probably implement this on a Beaglebone Black running FreeBSD or a Minnowboard Max running FreeBSD.
Thanks!

I have two of these (the RGBW ones) and the wifi bridge:

It wouldn't be difficult to whip up a package in most cases, depends on the interface/API of the target device. For the limitlessled, IIRC you need only send a UDP packet with the right values to set the color.

Let me know where you get with this. I am seriously interested in doing this. I really don't have a whole lot of experience with microcontrollers though.. That'll be my downside

Miniaturization is out I guess…
-
It does seem like there should be easier way. Those led strips have full rgb capability which isn't required for a simple bandwidth bar meter. Though it does give you the option for something fancy. ;)

I'm not making a product out of it, Stephen…
I think the important bits here are going to be how to interface this with pfSense.
If you want to build a desktop version in one color, or even something that is a desktop (software) widget based on the results, (or not based on the results), you can.

Just thinking out loud Jim. I look forward to admiring your blinken lights. :)

I am working on this exact thing also. Using a Raspberry PI and talking to my pfSense router via SNMP. I have the basics and components all ready to go and am currently writing the main scripts. Updates to follow.
