Raspberry Beacons

The intent of this is to provide a quick, simple, fun and inexpensive alerting beacon that can be connected to any type of service and be used as a visual notification that "something" is happening.

The more concrete use for this is when you have a need for a visual queue, like your latest build has hit production, your site goes down and you've turned your devices to "silent", or you want to know when a specific application crosses some threshold. The big boys use huge LED monitors to do the same but you and I know that it can all be done with just one LED.https://github.com/nickfloyd/raspberry-beacons
