It's the season! (preview)

I while ago my eye dropped on this string of individually addressable RGB LEDs, and I realized they are practically ready-made Christmas lights. A quick order, a long wait, and an evening with my Teensy++ later, I have a sneak preview of our new Christmas tree decoration!

A WS2801 LED string is practically already a Christmas tree decoration!

Since this creation will actually be used "in production" I need to spend some time making it "living-room acceptable". I can tell you this will involve some patience and a lot of Sugru!
