Hi everyone,

I finally got round to my first post.

I'm planning on using a Pi as part of a lighting control system.  I was a
bit late to join the queue though so I'll have to be patient.  Until then
I'm using an x64 linux server in it's place.   The Pi will be the brains of
the system, running some python.  It will be connected via USB serial to an
Arduino Mega 2560 which has a bunch of multiplexed inputs for light
switches, PIRs, etc. and a DMX output.  The DMX then drives a mixture of
dimmer and relay packs.
