I saw lights like this in a theme park, they were only red. This version lets you have any color and speed (I havent added a reverse though ).
The control program was written in Xojo, which is very fast for this sort of quick GUI development.
The Computer lets you choose Red green and blue with a value of 0-200 for each (could be up to 255) and also the speed, which is actually a delay in the timer speed. I wasnt sure if you could change the timer mutliple times but it seems you can.
The windows program packages this inks a hex string that the esp then decodes
format is cRRGGBBSSS where RR is a hex value from 00 to c8, same for GG and BB (red green blue) and the delay is a 3 digit Hex string from about 40 to 400.

hrmmm I think you just invented the next generation berries and cherries LED variation for all police departments a silicone seal a solid piece of pvc and a glass cover this thing could be made on the cheap nicely done!

Cool thing is it was a nice UDP example to boot!

And I learned of a new dev tool called xojo never heard of it before.

Thanks for sharing!
