+* Lightrix: Drive Adafruit Neopixels over Matrix
+
+** Installation
+
+You will need a Raspberry Pi that is attached to your network. I am using a Raspberry Pi Model A+ due to its really adorable formfactor and the fact that I have some WiFi dongles laying about.
+
+First off, get the =rpi_ws281x= library working, and verify that =strandtest.py= works for you. I followed [[https://learn.adafruit.com/neopixels-on-raspberry-pi/][this Adafruit tutorial]] to get it working, I would recommend the same; you will need a 3v3->5v logic level converter, which is unfortunate, but it makes this so much easier.
+
+Once you have that working and installed, install the =matrix-client= from Pip.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+sudo pip install matrix-client
+#+END_SRC
+
+Yes, I install it in to the main Python library path, because I'm an infoterrorist. It's an embedded Raspberry Pi, deal with it.
+
+** Usage
+
+- Create a =~/.mcatrc=
+- Run =python ./lightrix.py --room "<YOUR ROOM ID>" -c ~/.mcatrc= and it'll fire up
+- Go in to the room and type "rainbow"
