Internet of Holiday Lights: Minion of the Holiday Rush

doctorcdf
Good morning and thank you to all the competitors in the Internet of Holiday Lights RoadTest Plus; we are delighted that the Internet of Things and Holiday decorations are proving to be so well matched.
As we did with the Forget Me Not Challenge we hope to inspire even greater effort by offering an additional prize. Without further ado, meet Jerry -
Minion Jerry
The competitor who produces the most content-rich, inspiring and informative blog(s) between now and December 24th will receive a Jerry action figure to sit on their desk or workbench; hopefully his lullabys will help soothe after a hectic holiday period.
Not selected? Want to join in?
Many people have expressed interest in this particular RoadTest Plus: if you weren't selected, no problem, just purchase an Infineon LED shield, couple it to a suitable Arduino (we recommend the Yún) and the Eclipse IoT Platform and you’re in! Be sure to blog about your project on the Arduino area, and tag your posts with iot_holidaylights.
Any questions, as ever, please let me know.

    Christian I was thinking about the wrapping demo.

     

    Both Tim and Dave have trouble with being quiet.....it usually coincides with someone going past ....image

    My daugher has been tasked with modifying the cheap santa hats to fit, so keep you eyes peeled for the instructions coming up.

    I take it you're thinking about Tim's inability to be quiet.  I fear Jerry is no better in this regard as this video demonstrates - you'll see Jerry on the right hand side, coming to the fore only to blow raspberries -
