Boblihht dispmanx

I would suggest buying an extra set of leds

In your boblight.conf make sure your rate matches rpi baudrate... 115200. Interval of the dispmanx is usually set at 10 times a second so in the same conf I set my interval at 80000 (12.3 times a second) uses about 1/3 of the cpu for the daemon. The one from nadnerbs blog is 20000 (50 times a second seems like a waste of cpu to go this low when dispmanx is set at 10 a second.)
