#LED-Server
This Script can be used on a Raspberry Pi to Control a RGB-Led Strip connected to its GPIO-Pins. The Script creates a Socket and waits for Commands to set the Color of your LED-Strip.
An Android App to Control the LED-Strip via Wifi can be found here: Android LED-Controller App
In Order to use it you will need the PIGPIOD Library installed on your Raspberry Pi, have a look at it here: http://abyz.co.uk/rpi/pigpio/
Before you start the script (after installing PIGPIOD) you need to run:
sudo pigpiod
to start it as a daemon. Set the IP-Address and Port in the Script to your local Settings.

##Autostart as systemd service: You can also setup a systemd service on your Raspberry Pi in order to autorun PIGPIOD and the LED-server at startup. Just follow this guide. Before step 2 you need to create a shell script that starts PIGPIOD and the Led-Server. Create the file /home/pi/Desktop/rgbservice.sh (or any other location) with the following content:
sudo pigpiod
sudo /usr/bin/python /LOCATION/TO/server.py
Then in step 2, change the line starting with ExecStart to the following:
ExecStart=/bin/bash /home/pi/Desktop/rgbservice.sh
Apart from that, just follow all steps of the guide.
##Autostart with rc.local:
Just copy the following lines into /etc/rc.local (before the line exit 0):
/DIRECTORY/TO/pigpiod
/usr/bin/python /DIRECTORY/TO/server.py &
After that just reboot:
sudo reboot
#Setup Here's how to wire it, in my case i used STP16NF06L Mosfets (The RGB-Led in this Picture can be replaced by a RGB-Led Strip):
